Sharepoint integration & app
Setting up the integration
- Start by navigating to the Integration tab, in the left hand menu.
- Then add a new integration, by pressing on the "New integration" button in the top right corner.
- Find the "Microsoft Sharepoint" integration, either by searching for it, or by changing pages, press on "Configure" to set up the integration.
- If you want to change the name of the integration, this can be in the "Name" section.
- Fill out the "Account name" with the name of your account/organisation.
- As an example, lets use https://nordicscreencom.sharepoint.com/sites/Support - in the case, the account name/organisation name is "nordicscreencom", and is what is needed in the account name field.
- Fill out the timezone and language, if you are using a custom Proxy, please fill out this field too, if not, skip this field.
- Next, fill out the login information of an user of the system. This user needs to have MFA disabled for the integration to work. We recommend creating a service user, specifically for the Q-Play integration. This user needs access to the sites you want to display pages from.
- When done filling out the fields, hit the save button.
Setting up scripts in the integration
- In the integration settings tab, press the big "+" in the buttom, to set up a new script.
- In the "Script" field, select if its a list or report you want to show.
- Give it a saying name, so you know what this script displays.
- Find and paste the URL to the page you want to show. As an example, https://nordicscreencom.sharepoint.com/sites/Support/SitePages/Demo-Content.aspx, we only need the last part, after Sharepoint.com, so in this instance the URL will be: /sites/Support/SitePages/Demo-Content.aspx
- Choose what type of schedule you want:
- On-demand means when the integration is being displayed in a presentation, it will update the script, this means that if its not used, the script wont refresh.
- Scheduled means that the script will refresh the content no matter if its being used or not.
- Select how often the schedule should refresh the content.
- Page loading and rendering time means how long the integration should wait for the page to load before taking a screenshot, if you encounter problems with the screenshot not showing all content, try to up this time.
- Select how big the screenshot needs to be, the size can always be changed later, it if doesnt fit all your content.
- Once done, hit the save button, and go to the "integration status" tab, and hit the play button on the right hand side of the script, to make it start running. The script wont run untill you have manually told it to, by pressing the play button.
Setting up the app
- Either set up a new design, or click on an existing one you wish to add the Sharepoint integration to.
- In the right hand side, find the app "Sharepoint (New)".
- In the "Template" setting, choose whether you have a report or list set up in the integration.
- In the "Data source" tab, find the integration in the drop down, and the choose the script you want to show in the app.
- In the "Template settings" you can choose how often the image is refreshed, this is only refreshed as long as theres a new image from the integration to reload.
- If some of the image needs to be cropped, this can be done in the "Insert xx" fields.
- You should now see an image of your Sharepoint Site.
