Publish an App in SharePoint
You can publish an app to a specific site and Web Part page in SharePoint. This option is only available if your Business Analytics administrator has installed and configured the Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint Add-On.
To publish an app
1. In Business Analytics Hub, open the app from search results, favorites or bookmarks.
2. If desired, change the input parameters and other visual settings that you want to use for this app in SharePoint. See Edit App Properties for instructions. 3. Click Publish > SharePoint. 4. Click Publish to SharePoint.
5. Choose the SharePoint Connection where you want to publish this app.
Note: | If no SharePoint connections have been configured in Business Analytics, this field has an error message. You cannot publish apps to SharePoint until a connection has been configured by a Business Analytics administrator. If the SharePoint connection you need to work with is not in this list, contact your Business Analytics administrator. |
6. If needed, update the User Credentials to use to publish this app in SharePoint and click Update.
Important: | Updating these credentials creates or updates your Business Analytics User Attributes for this SharePoint server. This can affect how other mashups or mashables that work with SharePoint behave for you if they are configured to use the current user's credentials. |
The permissions for the credentials you use determine which SharePoint sites and Web Part pages you may publish the app in. Based on configuration:
This may default to the credentials defined for the connection you have selected, also known as the
service account.
Or you may be required to supply your credentials for this
SharePoint connection.
Or the connection may disable the use of user credentials based on configuration and not allow updates.
To remove your credentials and return these to the default credentials for this SharePoint server, click Remove. This also removes your Business Analytics User Attributes for this SharePoint server.
7. Choose the Document Library where you want to publish this app.
8. Choose the Page Name for the Web Part Page where you want to publish this app.
9. Choose the Zone Name that this app should fill.
10. Click Publish.
