Visio diagram on sharepoint: including sharepoint meta data in a "header group" on the Visio diagram
How do I include some of the sharepoint meta data for the diagram as text in shapes on the Visio diagram. For example to include Title, Last modified, who modified and "Business Owner" (which is a custom meta data column). I want the text on the Visio shapes to be updated automatically when the relevant meta data is updated on sharepoint. Thanks.Sharepoint Library Folder Depth - filename/path limits
I have two questions regarding SharePoint library limits (or best practices?). A couple of years ago we were advised to limit our folder depth in SharePoint libraries to no more than 3 folder/subfolders deep. We were told there wasn't a folder limit specifically, but either there was a limit (or maybe just issues) if the filename/path was too long. As I said it's been at least two years since we were advised this and I didn't know if this was still an issue. 1. We now have a use case where a department is moving several thousand files into a SP Library and the documents are in a nested folder structure that's definitely more than 3 folders deep. There's nothing to prevent them from doing this. What are the potential consequences/issues of this type of a library? 2. And on a related note, is there an update to the recommended limitation of 5000 docs in a library (or is it a limit per folder)? And what are the potential consequences/issues of a library with more than 5000 docs?
Library: view all folders to navigate, but not documents?
We have a site with a library of documents that are related to individual users. I need to configure permissions to a large group to navigate through all subfolders, but when he reach a final folder with documents, view only those than he is granted access. In example i have 3 folders: Main forder Security. 2 subfolders, every one with 2 subfolders more (2024 and 2025): Security > Security issues Security > Security reports In "Security\Security reports\2024" we have 50 pdf files, and everyone has granted access to a number of users. We need to display all route to documents (Security > Security reports > 2024) but only one document to every user, not all of fifty. How can we configure permissions for that library?
Adding bitmaps to SharePoint Online sites
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to add bitmaps to SharePoint sites? I would use one image and then define regions that when you click, will go to a different page. I found the following link that appears to do what I want: Create a Clickable Image Map in SharePoint Online - SharePoint Diary But when I tried to embed the code, it would have an error that I have to embed the code within an <iframe>. But when I did this, the regions I defined no longer worked. Sincerely, Jason
Modern page Top Navigation
In SPO Modern pages, lists and libraries, there are multiple layers of version history available. Is there any history for the TOP Navigation with audit logging for changes? Recently we had a menu changed and we want to see who made the change and when. I can find nothing on version control in the Top or Left Navigation within Modern SharePoint pages. Can someone point me in the correct direction?Creating a page which displays data from API or database
Hi, I want to check whether it's possible to create a page in SharePoint that can display data from a dataset? (e.g. data from API calls or a SQL database). These can be done with regular websites, but I'm not sure if this can be done from within SharePoint. Sincerely, Jason
SharePoint Server migration to SP Online with lot of form library
Hi! I would like to ask some experience, best practice for SharePoint migration: In SharePOint Server 2016 we have a lot of InfoPath form, over 300 item in form library: if there are contents that just need to be read in SP Online, I don't want to transfer them to a list and Power Apps, how can I fo it? has anyone used a good migration tool from InfoPath to Power Apps? if you didn't migrate to power apps, what solution did you choose? We have a more than 280 workflow, I read the SPMT can migrate workflow to Power Automate: does anyone have experience with this, does it work well? or other migration tool (free preferred) Thanks :)
