Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft SharePoint · Premium — connects your SharePoint environment with revolutionSCREEN. Once connected, content (news, announcements) from a SharePoint site is played automatically on your displays – optionally targeted via an advanced query (KQL).

With the SharePoint integration you bring existing intranet content to your screens without duplicate maintenance: as soon as new posts appear in SharePoint, revolutionSCREEN picks them up automatically. Using the advanced query, you precisely control which content (e.g. by department or location) is shown.

This is what Microsoft SharePoint looks like on the screen – examples from real use:

• An active revolutionSCREEN account with access to my.rstv.app.
• A reachable SharePoint site plus an account with read rights.
• At least one screen set up for playback.
• Since SharePoint is a Premium app: the corresponding activation in your account.

Open my.rstv.app and go to Apps. In the Alle (All) list, find the Microsoft Sharepoint tile (category Interne Kommunikation · Office Tools) and click it.

The detail page opens. If the app is not yet installed, first click Installieren (Install). Then (or if it already says Installiert / Installed) click Neue Instanz (New instance).

After clicking, you land in the app's instance management. Here you see existing instances and create another one with Neue Instanz (New instance, top right).

In the editor, enter an instance name at the top and choose Tags and the Format. On the left under Zugang (Access), sign in via einloggen (log in) with your SharePoint account – once the connection is active, it shows logged in. On the right, the live preview runs with real content.

The settings in the left area – field by field:

• Zugang (Access): connected SharePoint account (status logged in).
• Logo: choose your own logo via Bilder (Images).
• Layout: arrangement of image and text, e.g. image right, text left.
• Textfarbe / Hintergrundfarbe (Text color / Background color): colors of the board (e.g. text #000000, background #4A90E2).
• Primäre / Sekundäre Schriftart (Primary / Secondary font): fonts for title and body text (e.g. D-DIN).
• Sprache (Language): display language of the content.
• Beiträge (Posts): number of posts shown (e.g. 12).
• Dauer (in Sekunden) (Duration in seconds): display time per post (e.g. 10).
• Standorte (Locations): the SharePoint site to read from (site URL).
• Titelbild / Inhalt (Title image / Content): field mapping – which SharePoint field the image (e.g. thumbnail) and text (e.g. description) come from.
• Erweiterte Abfrage aktivieren (Enable advanced query): enables the KQL query to filter precisely (e.g. metadata_department:hr).
• Standardbild (Default image): fallback image when a post has no image of its own.
• Bild strecken (Stretch image): scale image to fill the format (toggle).
• Name des Standorts / Author / QR Code anzeigen (Show location name / author / QR code): show or hide individual elements.

Microsoft SharePoint shows several posts per instance in sequence. When you add the instance to a Playlist or a Layout, you control how long it runs via the element duration. To do so, click the Dauer (Duration) of the app element in the playlist.

Note: This logic applies to all apps with multiple posts per instance – e.g. ahead, SharePoint or Beekeeper.

In the Elementdauer bearbeiten (Edit element duration) dialog, the pro Post (per post) toggle decides between two variants:

The set time is the total duration of the instance. Example 00:01:40 (100 seconds): the instance is shown for 100 seconds. The posts run through one after another during this time and start over again if needed – so depending on the time, not all posts are necessarily shown (or some are shown multiple times).

The set time applies per post. Example 00:00:10: Each post is shown for exactly 10 seconds. With 12 posts, all 12 posts are shown for 10 seconds each (total duration 120 seconds). This ensures that every post really appears.

1. Name the instance, connect SharePoint, set site/query and appearance.
2. Save at the top right with Speichern & Schliessen (Save & Close).
3. The instance is now available under the app.
4. Assign it to your screen – directly as content or embedded in a Layout or a Playlist.
5. On the next sync, the SharePoint content appears on the display and updates automatically.
