A quick and easy way to display a Thank you message at the end of survey for submitting the form.

Go to the survey form and click on Respond to Survey. Click Next and in the Editform url in the browser, append &ToolPaneView=2 to the end of URL.
Add a CEWP to the below of the page and insert the below code, in HTML source or else paste the code in a text file uploaded to sharepoint library and refer to the text file. (referring the text file is preferred)

<script>
// hide the input textbox for the "thank you " message
 var x = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
 var i=0;
 for (i=0; i<x.length; i++)
 {
  if (x[i].value=="Internal")
  {
    x[i].style.display="none";
  }
 }
 </script>

Save the page.
Respond to the survey and the user can see the Thank you message in the form.

    And then the user sees a thank you message, he thinks "allright, I did it!" and clicks on the "x" icon from the dialog.

    Now his response is saved as incomplete in the survey, so it won't count in the final results.

    Microsoft should start to realise that their survey mechanism sucks. No back button, no way to say thank you to the user without creating risks, etc.

How to link to Download a copy option in Office 365/SharePoint 2013

At times it is required to have the option to save a copy of a document uploaded in SharePoint document library, in a page or a webpart. The url to get the save option for a doc is - http:// site /_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl= url-of-document-in-library Change the bold text with the actual url, i.e., with the site url and the url to the doc in the doc library.

Examples of utility function in SPD 2010 workflows

In SPD workflows, under Actions, there is a set of Utility functions. Using the substring function, a string can be trimmed from the beginning/end/or from a position, with or without specifying the length. An example, to remove the domain part from the user name, e.g. abcdomain/username, follow the below steps 1.        Use “Extract substring from the index of string” 2.        It would insert a step in WF as “Copy from string , starting at 0 (Output to Variable: substring ) 3.        Click on ‘string’ and click fx to get the field to be trimmed. 4.        It would bring the look-up window. 5.        Select the field and click OK.
