The Sharepoint Connector asset allows you to create a SharePoint bridge, linking Squiz Matrix with a SharePoint system, which can be used in conjunction with other assets. For more information on the functionalities of the Sharepoint Connector, refer to the examples in this manual.

Once created, you can configure the settings of your Sharepoint Connector on its associated asset screens. These screens are often the same or similar to those for a Standard Page and are described in the Asset Screens manual. In this chapter, we will describe the Details screen, which is different for a Sharepoint Connector asset.

Details Screen

The Details screen allows you to set up the Sharepoint Connector asset. For more information about the Status, Future Status and Thumbnail sections of this screen, refer to the Details chapter in the Asset Screens manual.
