SharePoint Custom List with column parent-child relationships
All, Is it possible using SharePoint out-of-the-box to define parent child relationships within two columns in a Custom List when using the default Create/Edit web parts? The clients design premise is to minimise application development and maximise the native functionality that exists within SharePoint. By way of an example to further explain this request I have defined the following reference lists Category list with column/values IDTitle 1 Packaging 2 Ingredients 3 Finished Goods SubCategory list with column/values IDTitle ForeignTitle 1 carton Packaging 2 pallettePackaging 3 paint Ingredients 4 plastic Ingredients 5 invoice Finished Goods For Data entry the client would like to raise Issues that have an associated category and subcategory defined. Hence I have defined a custom list called Issue with x number of columns including a Category ( this is of type lookup to the Category list) and a SubCategory column which would contain filtered values based on the Category value. Looking thru the Create Column definition component I can't see how one can set this to the subcategory lookup list and apply conditional/dynamic filtering based on the selected category value. Is this functionality available within SharePoint. Is there a trick, I can't see how parameters can be passed, how a calculated column or site columns can be used to facilitate this or concatenated columns can be defined Can this be done ?

Dynamic List filter/query question
All, before I delve into the deep end trying to solve a list view query/search issue I seek guidance on the best practice method or reference articles that will help me resolve the dilemma I define below. I have an Infopath form library (defined as a content type) in which the majority of form metadata is defined as columns items in the form library, approximately 25 columns. The information architecture approach ( and to mitigate the 2000 limit) will be to archive forms off to sub folders which are to be searchable. The user will like to dynamically query/filter all rolled-up lists on only a subset of columns (approx 7 of the 25) - similar to a traditional search/results type of interface. What is the best way to facilitate this in SharePoint ? I have installed the bamboo list roll up web part and created list views but neither seem to allow me to dynamically set the filter critieria on only a subset of columns. Some options I thought of include: 1) Data View WebPart (I believe you can associated multiple datasources (ie libraries) as the source data reference ) 2) Content Query Web Part 3) 3rd part controls - ie Bamboo list rollup or others 4) Connected WebParts to (can you have multiple filter web parts connected to a list view?) 5) Reporting Services report - how do you rollup the multiple datasources 6) Asp.Net control 7) SharePoint Search - I have excluded this list from being searched since am treating the form as a LOB application The premise of the design is to empower a subset of Power Business users to maintain the system so the intent is to keep the solution and underlying datasources non-complex. The user would also like to output to excel on the list view results also Cheers Matt ___ ozmoss mailing list ozmoss@ozmoss.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss
MOSS Licensing question
All, I have a quick question regarding MOSS 2007 licensing for a small farm (1 front end web/search/index, 1 backend database) - intranet site (400 users). The Core licenses that I require are: * 1 x MOSS 2007 Server License * 1 x SQL Server 2005 Std * 400 x MOSS Standard CALs * 400 x MOSS Enterprise CALs (require InfoPath, BDC) This is to be deployed on Windows Server 2003 R2. Now, for this MOSS intranet site do I need to procure 400 x Windows Server CALs ? I have misleading information to say I do, and some that says I don't. Much appreciated for any assistance provided.
