SharePoint Module

The SharePoint Module allows users to access and manage their SharePoint data through pre-built steps in the Flow Designer. By utilizing the module, users can create to add, delete, or download documents or lists from their SharePoint sites.

Adding a SharePoint Document Library

This example will demonstrate how to add a SharePoint Document Library in the Decisions platform. 

1. In the Decisions Studio, navigate to System > Integrations > SharePoint. Click ADD SHAREPOINT DOCUMENT LIBRARY.
2. From the Edit Entity window, set the Category Name and List/Document Library Name.
3. Under SharePoint Settings, select the Edit icon to configure the connection to SharePoint. Click OK.

   
   

   Proper SharePoint Integration requires the SharePoint Settings to be 100% accurate; these must match the details associated with the integrated document. Below is a list of settings that need to be defined:
   
   

   Configuration Option	Description
   Authentication	Authentication to connect to SharePoint.
   SharePoint Site	The SharePoint site URL, likely either "https://<domain_here>.sharepoint.com" or a self-hosted URL.  If using SiteMinder, this is the SiteMinder URL.
   OAuth Token	Token for connecting to SharePoint site.

   After saving the information, the Configuration Data and a Decisions Defined Data Structure is auto-generated in the SharePoint Folder. Additionally, users will now be able to access steps in the step catalog via Integrations > SharePoint.

Adding a SharePoint List

This example will demonstrate how to configure SharePoint and connect to a SharePoint List in Decisions.

In this example, a custom List was created in SharePoint named Customer Contacts.

1. In the Decisions Studio, navigate to System > Integrations > SharePoint. Click ADD SHAREPOINT LIST.
2. From the Edit Entity window, set the Category Name and List/Document Library Name.
3. Under SharePoint Settings, select the Edit icon to configure the connection to SharePoint. Click OK.

   OAuth Token	Token for connecting to SharePoint site.

   If using SharePoint Online, there are three additional options to configure:

   • User Agent -  String value of either ISV|CompanyName|AppName/Version (ISV Application) or NONISV|CompanyName|AppName/Version (Enterprise Application).
   • Retry Count - Number of calls to retry.
   • Retry Delay (in seconds) - Time a retry will occur.

   After saving the information, the Configuration Data and a Decisions Defined Data Structure is auto-generated in the SharePoint Folder. Additionally, users will now be able to access steps in the step catalog via Integrations > SharePoint.
