How to use Sharepoint app in Q-Play

Introduction

With this guide, you will learn how to create an integration with Microsoft SharePoint in Qplay and use it in a design. This makes it easy to pull data directly from SharePoint into your presentation and display it on a screen. The guide is divided into two main sections: Integration with SharePoint and Setup in the Design Tool.

Step-by-step Guide

Part 1: Integration with SharePoint

1. In the left-hand menu, click on Integrations.

2. Click the New Integration button in the top-right corner.

3. Select Microsoft SharePoint from the list of available integrations.

4. Give the integration a descriptive name so you can easily recognize it later.

Note: In the “Account name” field, enter the company name displayed in the URL directly after https://$.

5. Choose how often Qplay should take a snapshot of the SharePoint dashboard (e.g., every minut).

6. Click the Login button and enter your SharePoint credentials to grant Qplay access.

Your username and password are encrypted in our backend, ensuring that no one has access to your information.

7. Click the + icon to add a report from your SharePoint account.

8. Select a report and name it so it can easily be found under the SharePoint app in Qplay.

9. Enter the URL, but only up to the first /.

Example: /sites/NordicScreenDemo/SitePages/RetailManagementHome.aspx.

10. Click Save to save your integration.

11. Once the integration is successfully created, you will see an image of your SharePoint dashboard directly in Qplay.

12. If something goes wrong, check the Script Logs to see what happened or where an error occurred.

13. In Settings, you can update the URL or modify other integration settings.

Note: It may take a few minutes for the integration to be fully ready for use.

Part 2: Upload Reports in the Qplay SharePoint App

1. In the left-hand menu, click on DesignTool to access Qplay’s design tool.

2. Click on the presentation where you want to upload the SharePoint app, or create a new presentation.

A. If you have not yet created a presentation, follow this guide.

3. Select the integration you want to display in the view.

4. Choose which dashboard and resource to display from the integration. Click Publish to make it available on your screen.
