To load multiple JavaScript files in SharePoint JSLink, insert a pipe symbol between multiple JavaScript file links in the JSLink field of webpart’s properties.
JSLink Field Example:
~sitecollection/SiteAssets/jquery.min.js|~site/SiteAssets/my-custom-file.js
A piple symbo is a “|” without quotes

Following is the code which can be used to load JavaScript in sequence.
This code for example loads the reputation.js from SharePoint’s layouts folder & jQuery from site assets.
(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function () {
//sp.runtime.js has been loaded
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function () {
//sp.js has been loaded
SP.SOD.registerSod('reputation.js', SP.Utilities.Utility.getLayoutsPageUrl('reputation.js'));
SP.SOD.registerSod('jquery-3.2.1', '../SiteAssets/Scripts/jquery-3.2.1.min.js');
SP.SOD.loadMultiple(['reputation.js', 'jquery-3.2.1'], function () {
//reputation.js & jquery-3.2.1.min.js have been loaded.
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
//Check if jQuery has been loaded
if (typeof jQuery != 'undefined') {
console.log("Jquery is loaded");
}
else {
console.log("Jquery is not loaded!");
}
});
}, "sp.js");
}, "sp.runtime.js");
})();
Following are the steps to be implemented in a 2013 workflow to set permissions for a SharePoint list item.
This particular method set the permissions for all users in a group with a particular role permission using REST Calls
1. Build Header Dictionary and set to a variable
Name: Accept
Type: String
Value: application/json;odata=verboseName: Content-Type
Type: String
Value: application/json;odata=verbose
1. Set “Group ID URL” to a variable
[%Workflow Context:Current Site URL%]_api/Web/SiteGroups/GetByName('Group Name')?$Select=id2. Set “Role ID URL” to a variable
[%Workflow Context:Current Site URL%]_api/Web/RoleDefinitions/GetByName('Role Name')?$Select=id
3. Set “Break Role Inheritance URL” to a variable
[%Workflow Context:Current Site URL%]_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Library Name')/items([%Current Item:ID%])/BreakRoleInheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false, clearSubacopes=true)
4. Create Response Variables for “Group ID Response”, “Role ID Response”, “Response Headers” & “Response Code” with data type as Dictionary
5. Make GET REST call using Call Action to “Group ID URL” and assign output to above created variables in step 4
6. Use Get Action ‘d/Id’ from above “Group ID Response” variable and set it to a new variable “GroupID”
7. Make GET REST call using Call Action to “Role ID URL” and assign output to above created variables in step 4
8. Use Get Action ‘d/Id’ from above “Role ID Response” variable and set it to a new variable “RoleID”
9. Make POST REST call using Call Action to “Break Role Inheritance URL” and optionally assign output to above created variables in step 4
10. Set “Set Role URL” to a variable
[%Workflow Context:Current Site URL%]_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Library Name')/items([%Current Item:ID%])/RoleAssignments/AddRoleAssignment(principalId=[%Variable:GroupID%],roleDefId=[%Variable:RoleID%])
Add Role:
AddRoleAssignment(principalId=[%Variable:GroupID%],roleDefId=[%Variable:RoleID%])Remove Role:
RemoveRoleAssignment(principalId=[%Variable:GroupID%],roleDefId=[%Variable:RoleID%])
11. Make POST REST call using Call Action to “Set Role URL” and optionally assign output to above created variables in step 4

When we fetch document details from the SharePoint, sometimes we may need to get the Author details as well. By default when we do ODATA REST query, we will get only Authorid with a number as a result.
To get Author’s additional details we may need to expand the selected item as show below.
https://server/sites/sitecollection/_api/web/Lists/GetByTitle('Documents')/Items?$select=Author/Title,Author/Name,Author/EMail,Author/MobilePhone,Author/SipAddress,Author/Department,Author/JobTitle,Author/FirstName,Author/LastName,Author/WorkPhone,Author/UserName,Author/Office,Author/ID,Author/Modified,Author/Created,*&$expand=AuthorFollowing list show all the valid Author fields
Recently when I tried to add my SharePoint Online (Office 365) site in SharePoint Designer 2013, the login page would repeatedly give the error “the user id or password is incorrect”.
the user id or password is incorrect
I tried both with my domain account and onmicrosoft.com account and was making sure I chose “Work account” when prompted and still it didn’t work.
Then I realised that the multi factor authentication has been enabled recently.
Use “App Password” in SharePoint Designer login page when multi factor authentication is enabled.
So I created an app password and tried logging in and it worked.
The web based login page rendered within the designer’s doesn’t highlight or warn you if you are using multi factored authentication or app specific password
You can learn more about creating the app password here.
One of the consulting request I got was that an user should be able to sync files from a legacy system to O365 SharePoint Library. The issue was that the legacy system was old and all it could do was place a file in a particular folder.
The solution we could offer was the following.
This worked, but having a mapped drive was received as a security threat by the client’s security team.
But now thanks to the newly launched feature of syncing the SharePoint library files with OneDrive, this is easier.
Best part is, it supports both Windows & Mac.

Following are the features which are not available in SharePoint 2013 Workflow.

In SharePoint 2013 search results, the icon for a file type like .msg, .txt shows up as .html icon.
In SharePoint 2010 this was overcome by mapping the icon file type in DocIcon.xml at WFE Servers.
But now since access to WFE servers are restricted in on-prem environment and no access in O-365 environment, the only solution available is to do the following.
Search Results Display Template:
<div style="width:15px;display:table-cell;text-align:left;font-weight:bold;padding: 5px 0px 4px 10px;"> </div>
Search Item Display Template:
<div style="min-width:16px;max-width:16px;display: table-cell;white-space:nowrap;overflow:hidden;-ms-text-overflow:ellipsis;-o-text-overflow:ellipsis;text-overflow:ellipsis;"> <!--#_ var extObj = new Object(); extObj["FileExtension"] = ctx.CurrentItem.FileExtension; var iconUrl = SP.Utilities.HttpUtility.htmlEncode(Srch.U.ensureAllowedProtocol(Srch.U.getIconUrlByFileExtension(extObj, null))); if(ctx.CurrentItem.IsContainer) iconUrl = "/_layouts/15/images/icdocset.gif"; if(ctx.CurrentItem.FileExtension === "msg") iconUrl = "/_layouts/15/images/icmsg.gif"; //console.log(ctx.CurrentItem.FileExtension); _#--> <img id="_#= $htmlEncode(id + Srch.U.Ids.icon) =#_" onload="this.style.display='inline'" src='_#= iconUrl =#_' /> </div>
Notes:
ctx.CurrentItem.FileExtension always return the file extension name which seems to match with the file name in the /_layouts/15/images/ folder.
For example msg = icmsg.gif or icmsg.png
Once done, the search results will show-up as following
