If you have selected a Microsoft SharePoint repository as the system, you must specify a connection string and the search string (SearchString).
In this article, we explain how a search string and the connection string are made up.
Connection string for Microsoft SharePoint
This URL displays a list of documents directly:
https://{Server}/sites/D365FO/{DocumentType}/Forms/AllItems.aspx?{SearchString}
To establish the connection to a Microsoft SharePoint repository, you must specify the URL to the SharePoint system in the URL parameters:
-
Parameter {Server}: Enter the base address of the server with Microsoft SharePoint.
-
Parameter {DocumentType}: Enter the SharePoint list of documents you want to search.
Please check the composition of the URL in the corresponding Microsoft SharePoint documentation.
