This article explains how to create a new field to input credit card numbers without the necessity to write a code. For this task, you need to download and install Virto Custom Mask and Unique Field Validation. This multi-purpose component allows you to create custom fields in design mode and check fields for unique criteria within the current list, site or site collection framework. To start, create a new list entitled “Credit Card Storage”. You can also add new fields to any existing list as well, if preferred. When the new list is created, you can then create a column by going to Settings > Create Columns. Title the column as “Credit Card Number”. If you have Virto Custom Mask and Unique Field Validation installed, a list of column types will be available. Select “Virto Custom Mask”. Once column type is selected, visual field editor will be available. It consists of several blocks. Block 1 defines unique scope, automatic field case and separator between elements. Block 2 contains mask preview which is refreshed automatically, but you can also refresh it manually by clicking the “Refresh” button. Block 3 allows adding, deleting and adjusting mask elements. The format of credit card numbers depends on the type of credit card. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_card_number for reference. For this article, we have chosen Visa – 16-digit card number: 4 blocks with 4 numbers. Now let’s create a field for inputting the credit card numbers. Now, let’s add a text block. In order to do this, select “Text” in the “Select mask item type” section and click “Add”. You will see the following picture as a result. This block is not editable by default. Check the “Editable” box to change this setting. More fields will be displayed and you will then define the width to 40 and set a 4 symbols limit by using the expression”d{4}”. Now you’ve added one text block to the field. This block will be editable and will require 4 numbers to enter. Repeat the above actions three times and define it with a dash symbol, “-“, as a separator. The result is as follows. The field for inputting credit card numbers is ready to use. Click “OK” to add this field to the list. You will now have the menu options to create, edit and view forms of the list containing the new form for inputting credit card numbers. Here are several screenshots of the created mask: ...

Caching is set separately for every added Virto SherePoint Pivot View web part. To activate caching open web part settings block and use “Enable cache” button in the Cache settings. By default caching is done in a half an hour after clicking the button and then daily the same time. To define cache settings use Open cache settings. When you follow the link, settings window will open and you will be able to define cache schedule there. When cache schedule settings are defined click OK (or Cancel to cancel changes). You will see the page with a list of web parts with cache settings defined. With help of Enable/Disable buttons you can enable or disable caching. When you use Delete button, cache is enabled and cleaned. To cancel caching you can also use Disable cache button in the Cache settings block of web part settings (the button will be visible only if cache is activated). Caching is made by OWSTimer service. If cache is active but there are no images generated for it or images are being created, data will be generated dynamically when opening web part page.

This post describes SharePoint Taxonomy field. Taxonomy FieldValue class has three important properties (at least, for now): Label (string): it is a Value (string) property of a Label selected by user from Labels property of a Term object. TermGuid (string, not Guid): it is an Id (Guid) property of a Term (inherited from TaxonomyItem). WssId (int): what is it and where its value comes from? When you assign a value for a TaxonomyField, an item is created for the selected Term (or if there is already an item for the term, that item starts to be used) in a hidden list called TaxonomyHiddenList in the root web of the site. The WssId is an Id of this item in the TaxonomyHiddenList. ...

The method described below can be used to start a workflow for SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2010 at a specific time and then repeat periodically (every day). You can start workflow for multiple items at the same time. Also it is not required to use Microsoft Visual Studio. Periodic Workflow Processing A useful implementation of this technique allows you to configure workflows to run as background tasks at a specific time instead of being triggered by a user manually, or after creating or modifying a list item. This allows you to process SharePoint data when the SharePoint environment is not being used as long as tasks need to complete. For example, this method can be used to configure a looping timer workflow that supposed to run every day (18:00) to perform calculations and processing on a list item before emailing a reminder, or details to a user associated with the list item or document. ...
