i am trying to get last 30 days information on single list item or document based on User, i saw this feature in third party mapilabs Analytics.
Is it possible to get this through object model, if so could you please point me in right direction.
Thanks in advance
The SP analytics in general provide things like on Site X, user Y did 24 things. Or item X was accessed 34 times.
It usually doesn't provide things like on Site X, user Y did A, B and C or Item X was access 10 times by User A and 5 times by User B. There are some privacy implications to those kinds of things in some countries.
What you can do however is mine the IIS logs if you still have them around. Also if you have SharePoint Auditing enabled you can query the audit logs to get the information that you so desire.

i'm looking for some guidance on what the best approach is/ what software I need.
My bf owns a promotional company, books about 15 shows a month and spend a lot of time on his phone, creating event pages, linking up the bands facebook and bandcamp url to events, contacting bands with set times and backline info, etc. I thought I would help him out (and other music promoters that I've talked to) with automating some of these tasks. I know there might be other apps currently out there that have some of these capabilities, but I wanted to create something myself as it be a fun project that I could practice my programming skills(beginner-ish).
The app/bot will act as an assistant. It should be able to create an event, ask for the date and let the user input band names. Maybe there will be a series of check boxes that the user can select whether the band is from out of state(what state), touring, local, EP/album release, etc. Select co-host, location. Then depending on the # of bands and the location it will also generate a set time list, and backline info that the user can copy it and send to the bands(or maybe it will do this automatically, if it has access to the bands instagram or facebook?) Once the user presses done it will automatically create an event page, with date, and all the other info. Under the description of the event page, the app will automatically populate that with info depending on what the user selected. For example if its 2 out of state bands and 2 local bands, then it will write something like: "We welcome our 2 touring friends XX from FL? and xxx from NY? With local support from XX and xx" - something along those lines with a link to their pages.
Maybe in the future the app will also be able to go in and look at the bands facebook pages, go to their events and see what people pressed going/interest in their events, then invite those people to their upcoming show?
How do I get started. Should I use Appium and android studio to develop this app/bot assistant? Is Appium only used for testing? I have some basic programming experience from college and other courses i took, such as Selenium webdriver. More important is this doable or am I setting myself up for failure?
In addition to being a developer, I also am a part-time promoter and perform all of those same tasks that your boyfriend does. If there was some way to automate any of it, I would have done so a long time ago. Unfortunately there is, in my opinion, too much variability between different events, venues, and musical acts.
The biggest time sink for me is tracking down information about each act such as their web site URL, Facebook page URL, Soundcloud profile URL, logo, bio, and photo. (Some of the artists I deal with have a press kit but most don't.) Once the information is compiled, creating the Facebook pages is the easy part.
So, maybe a better use of time would be to create a web form that collects that information from each act and stores it in a folder in a structured way.
I have an app I'm working on that is a credits system for a store. A customer brings in items and receives a credit and then can turn around and use that credit towards certain goods in the store. I've set it up so every time a credit holder or credit is created,updated, or destroyed the event is logged. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to use the event data from the logs to create a dashboard displaying things such as X number of credits created and Y number of credits used today. This may not be the right way to go about doing this at all and if so feel free to guide me in another direction. Thanks in advance!
You should save the information into a database (in addition) to the log and operate on it in this fashion.
So for example, maybe you have a User it should be a Model and have credits which should be an integer. You can modify this value every time a transaction happens.
You can also create an associated model 'transactions' which belong_to the user and to find out transactions that happened on a certain day, you would be able to pull up all of the transactions of that user in a certain time range.
If your credits work similar to dollars and money. And your transactions are like orders, you may want to look into using the Spree gem. https://github.com/spree/spree
You definitely do not want to be reading from the logs to do very usual actions like you're describing.
I have been given a requirement to allow our sales team to view all of the issues that we are in the process of investigating/fixing that their customers are experiencing.
We've added a custom column that contains a list of all of our customers so that we can filter by customer.
We are going to add viewer accounts for everyone on our sales team.
On every issue we were going to add the relevant sales guy as a viewer. That way the sales guy will get an email whenever a customer's issue is resolved, moved to feedback, etc.
Here is the question:
We want the sales guy to be able to log into Mantis and on his "View Issues" page have a filter already setup that displays all of the issues he is monitoring, and only his issues (to avoid confusion). Is that possible?
We don't really care if he can see all of the resolved issues, unassigned issues, recently modified, etc on the "my view" page. This isn't really a security thing, it is a usability thing. I want to be able to send a link to the sales guy and tell him to bookmark it and it will contain a continually updating list of the issues that pertain to him.
This may be a workable solution, but it is still a little clunky.
If I send out a URL like this:
<SERVER ADDRESS>/print_all_bug_page.php?filter=<XX>
Where the XX is the corresponds to the value of "myself" on the monitored by box. For me it is 52, not sure if that will change as I play with the columns.
Therefore the link right now is:
<SERVER ADDRESS>print_all_bug_page.php?filter=52
What's clunky is: If the user clicks any of the column headings on this page for sorting the query string isn't included in the new URL and all of the issues are then displayed again.
I have a set of queries on the Team home page that use the standard #Me, for example to let different users quickly get to bugs they have personally raised, PBIs they created that are now in a certain state.
The users are in customer groups and I'd like to have a similar set of queries showing as tiles on the home page, e.g. "Team Open Bugs", "Team PBIs for review".
Is it possible to write a query that does this -
Select all [work item type] from [team project] where [state] and [#myCustomerTeam] ?
From what I have read so far I believe this is not possible, and certainly not possible through the UI. I'm curious to find out if anyone has solved a problem like this - having different customer groups see different Team Favorites tiles on the Home page of Team Web Access - in some other way. I'm going to try making three sets of queries and putting different permissions on them (there are TFS groups that correspond to the Customer Group field) but I'm not confident that Denying even Read permission on the query itself will stop the tile showing on everyone's homepage.
Edited to say that solution worked for my purposes, as per comment.
Still interested to know if anyone has managed something like this more cleanly. In this case the field I would have liked to parameterise happened to be something I could map to a completely different type of thing, thus shifting the problem. I can imagine wanting to parameterise a field that didn't have that characteristic though.
I have a strage requirement from a client, he needs to display a ramdom selection (100 - 200 items from mixed categories) of products for sale on & shipped by Amazon but ordered by price. The idea is to allow people find gift ideas based a user input price point.
I have been looking through the API docs but cannot see an obvious way to find search by price, I am thinking of writing a script to "copy" large parts of the amazon product catalogue into a local database & have it update every few weeks, then use this for user searches, but this does not feel right / their must be a better way.
Has anyone any experience with this type of problem? Thanks!
You would want to use the Amazon Product Advertising API. Using this API you would want to perform a SearchIndex-ItemSearch query. Possible parameters to ItemSearch are available on the API Docs here
You can see in the docs that you cannot query by MinimumPrice and MaximumPrice on SearchIndex: All. However, if you search specific indexes, it allows you to do a price related search.
I would guess that you can agree with your client which categories should the items be from. Then you can just query them one by one.
Amazon's database changes very often. Hence, caching data for a week without updating may not be desirable.
