Using SharePoint Sites Widgets

You can add a SharePoint Sites widget to a place (group, space, or project) that has been socialized with a SharePoint site. Only place administrators have the ability to customize and add widgets to their places. For more on socializing places see Configuring Jive Socialization for a Site.

The SharePoint Sites widget is designed to surface the hierarchy of SharePoint site(s) based on how socialization is established or "mapped" in SharePoint. The SharePoint sites widget shows the SharePoint site names, last modified time, and provides a link to directly take a Jive user into the respective SharePoint site.

Adding a SharePoint Widget

To add the SharePoint widget to a place:

  1. Navigate to the group, space, or site.
  2. Click Manage > Overview page .
  3. When the widget layout canvas opens, select Other, and then select the SharePoint widget.
  4. Drag the Drag to Add button to where the widget should show up.
  5. Click Publish Layout when you're done.

SharePoint Sites Widget Configuration

The configuration for the SharePoint Sites widget is controlled by how the Jive space, project, or group is "mapped" in the Jive Socialization Settings configuration for a designated SharePoint site. No additional configuration is required and/or available in Jive.
Note: The SharePoint Site widget will not appear as an option unless the specific Jive space, project, or group has been "mapped" for socialization in SharePoint.
