Microsoft SharePoint

With the app «Microsoft Sharepoint» you connect your SharePoint environment with revolutionSCREEN. News and announcements from SharePoint appear automatically on your screens.

Bring existing intranet content to the screens without duplicate maintenance. Using the advanced query you control exactly which content appears, e.g. by department or language.

This is how Microsoft SharePoint looks on the screen, examples from real use:

• An active revolutionSCREEN account with access to my.rstv.app.
• «Microsoft Sharepoint» is a premium app (crown in the app store) and must be enabled for your account.
• A Microsoft account with read access to the desired SharePoint site.
• At least one configured screen.

In the sidebar on the left click «Apps» and at the top «zum App-Store».

Scroll to the list «Alle» and click the tile «Microsoft Sharepoint». Use the category buttons to narrow down the list.

The app's detail view opens. If it is not yet installed, first click «Installiere». Then click «Neue Instanz». «App Guide» opens a short guide.

Under «Apps › Meine Apps» you see all instances of the app as tiles. With «Neue Instanz» at the top right you create another one, and by clicking a tile you open an existing one.

In the editor hover the mouse over the title and click the pencil to give the instance a name. A new instance shows «Kein Name angegeben» in red until then. At the top right you choose whether the preview appears in portrait or landscape.

At the very top of the settings is «Zugang». For a new instance you sign in there with your Microsoft account. When the connection is active, it shows «logged in» with the account address. Use the pencil on the right to switch the account.

On the left are all settings, on the right you immediately see in the live preview how the instance looks on the screen. Use the arrow next to the card to collapse the settings.

• Zugang: connected Microsoft account (status «logged in»).
• Logo: choose your own logo via «Bilder».
• Layout: arrangement of image and text, e.g. «Image Right, Text Left».
• Textfarbe / Hintergrundfarbe: colors for text and background. Use × to reset a color.
• Primäre / Sekundäre Schriftart: fonts for title and text.
• Sprache: language of the displayed content.
• Beiträge: number of posts displayed.
• Dauer: display time per post in seconds.
• Standorte: the SharePoint site that is read from.
• Titelbild / Inhalt: from which SharePoint field the image (e.g. «Thumbnail») and text (e.g. «Description») come.
• Erweiterte Abfrage aktivieren: enables the field «Erweiterte Abfrage». There you filter specifically with a search query (KQL), e.g. metadata_department:hr.
• Standardbild: fallback image when a post has no image of its own.
• Bild strecken: fills the image area completely; images may be cropped in the process.
• Name des Standorts / Author / QR Code anzeigen: show or hide individual elements per post.

You reach the last fields by scrolling down in the card.

Microsoft Sharepoint shows several posts one after another per instance. When you use the instance in a playlist or a layout, you set via the element duration how long it runs. To do so, click the element's duration. This logic applies to all apps with several posts per instance.

In the window «Elementdauer bearbeiten!» the toggle decides between two variants. It is usually called «pro Post», for presentations «pro Slide». With «Confirm» you apply the setting.

Variant 1: Toggle OFF (total duration)
The set time applies to the whole instance. Example 00:01:00: The instance runs for one minute. During this time the posts change one after another and start over if necessary. So not all posts necessarily appear.

Variant 2: Toggle ON (duration per post)
The set time applies to each post. Example 00:00:10 with 12 posts: Each post appears for exactly 10 seconds, the instance runs for 2 minutes in total. In the list it then shows «pro Post» or «pro Slide» below the duration.

Save the instance at the top right with «Speichern & Schliessen».

Add to a playlist: Open the playlist, select the tab «Apps» on the right, click the app and then the instance. The instance is added immediately.

Add to a layout: Open the layout and click the pencil at the desired section.

In the window «Inhalt für Abschnitt bearbeiten» you add the instance with «Inhalt hinzufügen». On the right of each element you set the schedule via «Täglich».

Then click «Veröffentlichen» in the playlist or layout. As long as it still shows «Entwurf, Veröffentlichung erforderlich», the screen still shows the old state.
