SharePoint Search on a Specific SharePoint List/Library.

There are times when we need to perform search on specific SharePoint List/Library. One of the possible solution that I found was as below.
Add a column to your SharePoint List/Library, I would suggest you to create a site column and add it to your SharePoint List/Library. This will allow you to all the same column to other List/libraries also.
Now open central administrator > Application Management > Manage Service Applications > Search service Application > Content Sources.
Start full crawl, this will get the created site column to the crawl.
Once the crawl is completed, in the left pane you can see Metadata Properties, click it.



You will see below screen. Now click new managed property. Below screen will be loaded.



Enter property name and click on Add mapping. This will open below screen. Find the site column crawled property that you created and map it with the name. That’s it your Meta property is now mapped with your crawled property.





Next create a “Basic Search Template” that will be used to perform the search. When this is created a basic search page gets displayed. Click on the “Advanced Search”. On this page, edit the “advanced search webpart” to include this new property that you have created in Search Administration. When you click edit webpart, it displays you properties of the web part you can change. Add you’re created Meta property to each category and click save.




Go to Advance search and choose the new property from the drop down below and choose equals the default value of your site column that you created some time ago. Perform you search. You should see results coming from that 1 single document library.

Thanks & regards,

Business Data Connectivity

I came to a requirement wherein I was supposed to get data from an 3 rd party portal using API’s and then bring them to SharePoint server. The first approach that I finalized was just to make BDC solution that will get data from 3 rd party portal and will deploy it to SharePoint. How to Create BDC solution in SharePoint? I found below link that is having really great description about hot to create and deploy the BDC solution to SharePoint. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/hung123/creating-business-data-connectivity-service-using-visual-studio-2010/ After creating an POC I came to know that BDC model cannot be deployed on Multi tenant farm. So what can be done next? After some amount of googling I came to know that we can create BDC solution using WCF services also. So I created a WCF service solution that acted as a wrapper that used to fetch data from the portal. We can them publish that service to IIS or Server and use the servic...

Dataverse Multi Choice Columns in PowerApps

We have been working with PowerApps, PowerApps and Dataverse and now I thought of sharing a few tips to ease your work if you are new to PowerApps + Dataverse as a combination. I will be sharing a few more tips in my upcoming blogs but to get started, Let’s take Multi Choice Columns this time. Unlike SharePoint or any other data source, Dataverse Multi choice columns are different so basically, I cannot go to my PowerApp and directly print selected value in a label. So, this is how you can show multi choice values in label. You need to use concat that allows to concat multiple selection. PowerApps has concat function that takes. Concat function syntax :  Concat (  Table ,  Formula  ) In my case I am trying to render a multi choice column values into a vertical gallery webpart. I have added a label control to a vertical gallery and then added below code.   Concat(ThisItem.ColumnName,Value & "") Hope this helps, Thanks, Keyur

SharePoint hosted apps with Angularjs

Wow.. I thought i won't be able to manage to write a blog this month. Hey guys today i am here with a something of that i have been planning since a long time. Some time back i tried to implement Angularjs with SharePoint. To be frank Angularjs is just awesome. You can have flawless feel while working with it. I don't know how will i manage to work with Angularjs in huge projects but i found it really really good to work with single page applications. Let's have a look to the classic definition of Angularjs that you find when you google for Angularjs. Angularjs "AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly and succinctly. Angular's data binding and dependency injection eliminate much of the code you would otherwise have to write." SharePoint Apps SharePoint Apps, I personally found it more developer...
