Add a SharePoint List or List View to a Mashup

Connection

Select the connection for the SharePoint server with the site and list that you want to use.

Note:

If no SharePoint connections have been configured in MashZone NextGen, this property shows a message and you cannot use this block until a connection to SharePoint has been configured by a MashZone NextGen administrator.

If the SharePoint server you need to work with is not in this list, contact your MashZone NextGen administrator.

User Credentials

This section is collapsed by default. It defines the credentials (user account and permissions) used to connect to this SharePoint server and sites. Use the

and

buttons to expand or collapse this section.

The permissions for the credentials you use determine which SharePoint sites and lists you can use in this block. 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 server.

Note:

Some SharePoint server connections may disable the use of user credentials based on configuration. In this case, this section only displays credential information.

To use your own SharePoint credentials to connect to this server, change or enter this account information and click Save.

Important:

Updating these credentials creates or updates your MashZone NextGen credentials for this SharePoint server (which are saved as MashZone NextGen User Attributes). This can affect other mashups or mashables that work with this SharePoint server if they use your credentials rather than the service account.

To remove your credentials from this block, click Remove. Depending on configuration for this server, the service account credentials may default. This also removes your MashZone NextGen User Attributes for this SharePoint server.

Site Name

Once you have the connection and user credentials set, choose the SharePoint site with the list you want to use.

List Name

Choose the SharePoint List you want to use as an information source.

View Name

If desired, choose the specific view that you want to use for this list. Views determine the specific columns that are visible from the SharePoint List.

CAML Query

Optionally, enter a query, using the Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) query syntax, to further refine the List items and data you want to retrieve.
