I have created a list of around 443 items
I have set item limit to 1 so that it shows one item at a time
Now to create a quiz
I need to know how do i show the random items in sharepoint list and how to create a column whic user will fill and submit the answers.
Then sharepoint column will check using that column whether the answer is right or not
Survey may not suit your case.
Because the rating/grading functionality would be very difficult to address with Surveys. I'd also recommend you to create ASP.NET pages, but create them as application pages.

After creating this page just deploy to _LAYOUTs and call this page into your web part page. I've a different thought of using PageViewer web part. Do not use page viewer webpart for this kind of quiz functionality. If you have a single plain vannila page, you can go for page viewer web part. Quiz would be a full-blown ASP.NET web application. Its' better to deploy that as application page instead of a page viewer web part approach.
If you ready to purchase 3'rd party products, you can try evaluating the following web part.

Very long time since I even look at Access.. but on SPO, with a database on Azure it seems really nice ... wondering tho..
Any way to remove that left pane with the Databases from the UI?
Set a list button to go to a URL formatted using selected column fields in the row?
Join in oData datasource like SharePoint Online List? Validate against SharePoint list Data? set dropdowns to lookup using SharePoint list data?
Any file upload control and upload to a sharePoint Library? A way to add metadata to a file and do some validation - like does file exist with this metadata. Dynamically rename files to some unique string.
Perform complex field validation with REGEX?
Secure the application and database to SharePoint groups.
What's the business language of choice? Not clear on how to edit and save macros. Can it make calls to webservices?
Any way to change that obsure url you get for the App in SharePoint 2013 Online?
Any way to remove that left pane with the Databases from the UI?
No, but there is a workaround. Right click on the tables you don't want to be visible, and select the option to hide them individually. You can also rename the table-views in that pane, so they appear to have more user-friendly names for your end-users.
Set a list button to go to a URL formatted using selected column fields in the row?
The best way to achieve something like this would be using a hyperlink control attached to a calculated column in your table/query where the URL and display text are computed and linked together automatically. If you need list functionality, you can allow the user to select an item in the list, and have that automatically update a separate hyperlink control to provide the link functionality.
Join in oData data source like SharePoint Online List? Validate against SharePoint list Data? set dropdowns to lookup using SharePoint list data?
Access 2013 Web Apps cannot pull external data at this time. Access 2013 Web Apps only accept incoming data connections e.g. a MS-SQL or oData service can use industry-standard methods to connect to your Access Web App and validate data.
Any file upload control and upload to a SharePoint Library? A way to add metadata to a file and do some validation - like does file exist with this metadata. Dynamically rename files to some unique string.
The only file support currently provided by Access Web Apps is in the form of images uploaded to an image field inside a table. This is useful to add people's photos to their records in a "contacts" table, and things like this. Other than that, you will need to use a custom SharePoint library interface for this type of functionality.
Perform complex field validation with REGEX?
Not currently supported to my knowledge.
Secure the application and database to SharePoint groups.
This functionality is handled within SharePoint, not within Access or SQL Azure. Secure your SharePoint site collection as needed, and these security settings will apply appropriately to read and/or write operations by SharePoint users within your database. e.g. a SharePoint "visitor" (read-only access) will not be able to edit any data in your database - only view it.
What's the business language of choice? Not clear on how to edit and save macros. Can it make calls to web-services?
In Access 2013 Web Apps, VBA is no longer supported. Macros have to be written using the GUI "wizardy" macro interface, which greatly limits the scope of available operations. As a result, you cannot perform more complex tasks, such as making calls to external web-services. However, for basic data operations and UI operations, the GUI macro interface serves the purpose well.
Any way to change that obscure URL you get for the App in SharePoint 2013 Online?
The URL is randomly assigned when you create an Access 2013 Web App, but is guaranteed to never change after it is assigned. Therefore, you could reasonably use your DNS/web-host to "mask" the URL with a CNAME or other type of HTTP redirection. There are many ways to do this, and they are all external to SharePoint and Access 2013 Web Apps, so it's up to your DNS and web providers to support this.
Hi I have got a few lists with Lookup fields from Source lists. I wish to have a Related lists (Webpart connections from 2007 days) where I select item from master and then child records are displayed. Although I have followed the instructions on the below article, the "relationship" bit is not working. The Related records from the child lists are not filtering rather showing all records from the child table.

I also encountered this issue, and the solution is pretty simple, but not very obvious. When creating a new page, you MUST be sure that you create a page of type Web Part Page. When you use the default "Add a Page" option from the site settings menu, the default page type is a Wiki page, not a web part page. Even though you can add web parts to a Wiki page, the Wiki page does not include the functionality for implementing web part connections.
Once I created a page using one of the Web Part Page types, I was able to use web part connections.
have you tried this:
Browse to the affected page, and then open the page in edit mode.
Click the drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Web Part for the tasks list, and then click Edit Web Part.
On the right side of the page in the Web Part properties controls, click the plus sign (+) on the Miscellaneous section, click to select the Server Render checkbox, and then click OK.
Save the changes to the page.

I have been tasked with creating a web service(usingVS2010) to query TFS (2010) by the workitem number. The user would access the web service, then type in the workitem number and project name and hit a go button. This would call the web service, retrieve the title, and description and display it for the user on a seperate application. So starting this process I thought I would create a simple console application that does the same thing. I was able to connect to the server and I am able to see the collection of project that exists. What I am looking for is some help in querying the Server so that I can type in a number and get a response in my console. Does anyone have any examples, or direction or websites? While I wait for an answer I will be searching the web. Thanks in advance.
You'll want to use the TFS SDK to query work items programmatically.
Ewald Hoffman has posted an excellent example of how to get a work item by ID:
Part One discusses how to get connected to your server
Part Two shows how to query for a work item by ID.
The start-up i currently work for is oriented around restaurant wait times. For our v1.25 specifications our clients -restaurants- that have Facebook pages want to be able to communicate to their app profile from their Facebook page.
The closest i have came to answering this question is the Graph API. However, the Graph API only allows us to read and write data to FB pages. So, is there a way for a restaurants FB page to write to its app profile? Secondly, Loso, whom we have modeled some of our designs from has this ability, does anyone have an idea as to how they have done it?
--Boris M.
Here is an option that you can consider...
When you are designing the app you can also develop a page tab to go with it...
You will find this option in the basic settings of the app.
You can make it to install for all first time users of your app, by getting a list of all his pages he created using that profile then install it on the one he selects.
This page tab when installed on a page will appears just where other tabs on the page appers(e.g. events, notes etc. occurs)
You can provide your required functionality on this tab as you like.
Thus the user can just select that tab on the page and use its functionality to post on the profile page of the app.
Hope this works for you... and also u can check out the jobcaster app it does something like that!
I have a Publishing Portal site and I need to add some announcements to some of the pages. I've read an article which says that i have to create an announcement list to be able add an announcement web part but i can't seem to find any resources on how i can add an announcement list.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
Your problem is that you have not activated the relevant feature on the site settings page. You need to go to the site collection site settings page. Then select Site Actions - manage site features
Then activate the feature called Team Collaboration lists. You will now be able to create an announcement list
From the home page of your site (or from any page really) you should see a "View All Site Content" link on the top of the navigation menu.
View All Site Content http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/86fed07f0809beefaeeaee0013ee2b952079bc09
Click on that link and it will show you a dashboard listing all of the SharePoint lists that have been provisioned for the current site. Click on the Create button to create a new SharePoint list.
Create new SharePoint List http://friendfeed.s3.amazonaws.com/6c0b244801826f8b3ee01811211b88668ba8f713
From there you will see the option to create an Announcments list (under the Communications header). Complete the wizard to complete the list.
Once the list is created you can select Edit Page from the Site Actions menu on any SharePoint page in the site and then select a "Add a Web Part" on the web part zone you want to put your Announcements web part into. You should now see a web part listed with the same name as your Announcements list that you just created.
Select that web part to add it to the page and display.
Hope that helps. If this isn't the answer to your problem leave a comment or update your question with clarification and I will try to help.
Giving you direct instructions on how to create the list would most likely leave you more lost than ever. If this is a publishing portal, there's a lot more to learn beyond just creating a list. Content must be approved, and is versioned. I'd strongy advise you not to start poking around in there as you run a large risk of messing up the portal. Don't get stressed by people demanding you perform such things without having received any training. Grab yourself a coffee, flip your boss the finger and watch some pertinant webcasts on http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/FX101211721033.aspx
Hope this helps,
