SharePoint form

Use a Send to SharePoint form when you need to send the document to a SharePoint Office 365 or SharePoint 2010/2013 server.

This type of form allows users to browse document libraries, folders and list values at the device. A Send to SharePoint form is commonly used in conjunction with the Send to SharePoint 2010/2013 eConnector and route components.

A SharePoint form can be added by clicking any group or menu node, and then clicking Add Form > Send to SharePoint Form on the menu bar.

Refer to the Basic Form Options to configure settings on the General, Fields, and Components tabs.

Option Description
Server Version Specify the correct version:
  • SharePoint 2010/2013 Services
  • SharePoint Office 365 Services
If you want to change the Server Version after the connection has been established and Site field has been populated, click OK to dissmis the dialog and re-open it again in order to ensure the Site has been updated from the new Server.
Server Address Enter the path to the SharePoint2010/2013 server where you will be storing the documents.

This field can contain "http://" or "https://" followed by the server name or IP address. For example, both “http://sp2010” or “https://192.199.292.255” will work. The field can also contain only the server address, for example, sp2010. In this instance, the component will insert "http://" before the server address automatically.

User name Enter the user name which will be used to log on to the server.

If you are using a domain user account to connect to SharePoint 2010/2013, enter the user name with the domain name. For example, enter domain\SharePoint_username . If you are logged into the server, you only need to enter the user name, for example SpUser.
