MS Access Report to Docusign - ms-access

Have an MS Access report and need to have customer E-Sign it. what is the easiest/best way to get this done? was looking for automation as much as possible to limit steps for the user.

First, you'll need to find how to generate your MS Access Report and what is the output. Let's say it's a PDF.
You then upload this PDF to DocuSign, which you can do using the eSignature REST API.
To see code that takes a PDF and sends it for signature - https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/how-to/request-signature-email-remote/
This includes code examples in 8 languages.
You will need a DocuSign Developer account and OAuth key(s) to use DocuSign functionality for testing and development.

How to tell when to use EWS vs rest API in Outlook Add-in

Is it possible to tell either in the XML file or through OfficeJs if the add-in can use the REST API or if it needs to use the older EWS API?
We have an Outlook add-in that needs to support OWA/O365 and Outlook 2016 with a stand alone exchange server. We are wondering if it is possible through the manifest XML file or through OfficeJs to detect the configuration of users account so we can properly access their content with the correct API. The only alternative I can see is to provide two separate add-ins for this, but I assume MS has a solution to this issue.
There isn't a specific API for detecting the server version. You could determine if REST is supported for a given mailbox by checking the value of Office.context.mailbox.restUrl. If this is an on-prem installation it won't return a value.
UPDATE:
If restUrl is returning a result (i.e. https://exch1.mailhost.com/api) then REST should available and could begin using the Outlook REST APIs.

How to web resource to all forms?

I know how to add Web Resource (html/js/image) to particular entity or form like Contacs, Account, even custom entity, or dash board. But problem is we want to show Web Resource on each and every form/entity of dynamics CRM.
We are not allowed to use popup.
Please consider we are using Online Dynamics CRM (and not on premise).
Regards
You need to add manually the web resource to each form of each entity.
There isn't an option or a tool to perform this task.

Accessing the Administrator Audit Log via Google Script

Despite fervent searches, I don't believe I have come up with quite the results I am needing. Within the Google Apps for Business Administrator console, under "Reports" there is the "Audit Log." This audit log nearly displays everything I need; however, I am needing the actual name of the file instead of the fileID provided in the report.
The ultimate endgame is to generate, via Google Script, an automated daily report that gives this same data to a few users daily. Is there any means by which I may access this data? I have been pouring over the APIs, and perhaps I've missed something, but I don't feel that I've found what I needed.
Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and considerations.
This is possible using the Google Apps Admin Audit API. This uses OAuth and that is a bit tricky to setup sometimes. You can see the set up process in this video that we did. Except as the example shows, instead of the YouTube APIs enable the Apps Reporting and Audit APIs in the API Console.
I built out a simple example of this that you can see in operation. Access this URL after having been logged in as the domain admin. It will automatically create a Spreadsheet in your Drive with the latest Audit logs exported. This is a web app that is deployed as "Run as user".
I've open sourced this Github here. You should substitute in the right OAuth2 Client ID/Secret. The code is pretty rough so you'll want to clean it up. I am selectively logging a few columns but if you look at the API docs, there are other things you can log as well.
Once the OAuth token is set up you can have this run on a trigger as well as long as you refresh the token.
Hope this helps.

Generate Fillable PDF form using SSRS

Can anyone suggest me or point me in the right direction if there is a way to generate a fillable pdf form using SQL Reporting services? Are there any third party plugins on the report server that can provide the fillable form rendering options or if there is a way we could convert the pdf format of the report to fillable form by using some API. Can you please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Ajay
I've never heard of such a tool, and a search didn't return any different answer.
One option you have is:
Create an editable PDF file with the same layout of your SSRS report
Create a WCF service, controller method, or anything your app is with
logic to get the same info
Create a method to fill the editable form using iTextSharp with
your data
Send the PDF file to the user.
Have you ever considered this?
For number one you can use Acrobat Pro, CutePDF or any other tool you
feel confortable with.

How do I open a report in SSRS 2008 without the user having to provide authentication details?

Summary:
Does anyone know what the minimum we have to do is to get the user to be able to press a button in our app and have the report pop up in an HTML control (Delphi App) with no further input from the user?
Detail:
Authentication is no longer anything to do with IIS in 2008, and a lot of authentication discussion on the web is about IIS and SSRS 2005.
We are looking to display reports within our application and are trying to avoid using the API to re-construct the ReportViewer.
We are hoping to open the reports within an HTML control by passing a URL to the control, along the lines of http://RSServer/ReportServer/ReportDir/ReportName.....
This doesn't work and it looks like it is because the report asks for authentication. We use SQL server authentication for the rest of the app and explicitly want our app installable where domain authentication is patchy at best.
I have enabled Basic authentication which doesn't make much difference, but you don't seem to be able to anable Anonymous Auth, which wouldn't actually be desirable anyway.
Dom.
I've not tried it, but have you looked at this MSDN blog?
EDIT
This may be of more use - it suggests a method of bypassing authentication without running anonymous access
EDIT 2
With basic authorisation enabled, could you simply provide credentials in the URL? - http://username:password#servername/etc/etc?
