Delete Items from quick Navigation bar SharePoint Online - PowerShell

In case you need to update a bunch of sites that look the same. in my case I have to update on a regular base about 120 sites.


Connect-SPOService –Url 'YOUR ADMIN SITE FULL URL"

# Get all sites
Get-SPOHubSite

# so you get the the hub id you need if not just remove the loop on next section

$hubSiteId= "ID HERE"
$sites = Get-SPOSite -Limit ALL
foreach ($site in $sites)
{
$siteDetailed = Get-SPOSite -Detailed $site.Url
if($siteDetailed.HubSiteId -eq $hubSiteId)
{
$siteUrl = $site.url
$siteUrl
$username = "USER HERE"
$password = "PASS SITE"
$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
$credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($username, (ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force))
$ctx.Credentials = $credentials
$web = $ctx.Web
$ql = $web.Navigation.QuickLaunch
$ctx.load($ql)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
$node = $web.Navigation.QuickLaunch | where { $_.Title -eq "TITLE HERE" }
$node.DeleteObject()
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
}
}

Uncheck or Unlock Document or Page SharePoint Online - power shell

after trying A LOT to discard changed on a page by a user, I finally got it.

This is actually working like a charm for pages and documents.

$siteUrl = "YOUR SITE URL"
$siteUrl
$username = "USER HERE"
$password = "PASS HERE"
$SPOCredentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($userName,(ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force))

$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
$Ctx.Credentials = $SPOCredentials
$web = $Ctx.Web
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()


# Load the up list
$lookupList = $ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("YOUR LIBRARY")
$ctx.Load($lookupList)
# Prepare the query
$query = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery
$query.ViewXml = '<View Scope="RecursiveAll"><RowLimit Paged="TRUE">1000</RowLimit></View>'

  $listItems = $lookupList.getItems($query)
    $ctx.Load($listItems)
    $ctx.ExecuteQuery()
    $query.ListItemCollectionPosition = $listItems.ListItemCollectionPosition

#Load File
$file = $ctx.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl("RELATIVE URL OF PAGE HERE");
        #Relative URL of document is : sample.. /sites/mysite/SitePages/Home.aspx
        $ctx.Load($file)
$Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
$file.UndoCheckOut()
$file.Update()
$Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
}

Cognos 11 - 10 Report title with Parameter - Dynamic

I have seen that there is lots of confusion there when this question is posted.

I need the title of my report to by dynamic in Cognos.

Not that hard.

Go to your query or one of the queries you are using in the page with the title.

Add a funny filter like

?TitleParam? = ?TitleParam?

Make it optional.



You have your parameter now.


Then go to your Report title and change the type from text to report expression


In the report expression just add the parameter from the list


And that is it.

Now you have a dynamic report title.
