Using the SharePoint List Widget

The SharePoint List widget is designed to surface SharePoint list content (including Edit item action) availability within Jive. SharePoint lists represent core functionality within SharePoint to structure, store, and make collaborative content available to users. SharePoint layers on the concept of views (shared or specific to a user) to further refine how list content is presented. The SharePoint list widget takes advantage of the power of SharePoint lists and views and allows a Jive user to view and interact with the list content.

SharePoint List Widget Configuration

The configuration for the SharePoint List widget requires several pieces of information to find and surface a SharePoint list (and optional "custom" view). Custom Title (Optional) - This represents the value to display above the SharePoint List widget. Site Name - Keep this blank for a list in the site associated directly with this Jive place. Enter the name of a sub-site if the list is located in a sub-site to the associated SharePoint site. List Name - Name of the list in SharePoint for the "socialized" site. Note: The List Name field is case sensitive. Please ensure the value you provide matches SharePoint. View Name (Optional) - If left blank, the default view from SharePoint will be used; If specified, the SharePoint List widget will attempt to find and use the view name. Note: Recommendation: If you leave the View Name blank and notice the list shows in Jive with unwanted fields, please review (or create) the available views in SharePoint to refine what is displayed in Jive.
