SP Online: Get info from list in another site collection

Iron Contributor

Hi,

 

I have a site collection that it should show a list that was created in another site collection. 

All the items in the list will be managed from the source site collection, the other site collection will only show the list. 

 

Can this be done with lookups from one site collection to another? or is there another solution? 

 

Best regards

Americo...if you only want to view the information, have you tried using search and a display template?

Yep, search is a good option here...and to answer the original question: Cross Site Collection lookups are not avilable in SPO Today. As an alternative to search, you can build a custom SPFx WebParts that uses SPO REST API (Search is also an option) to display list items

Thanks,

 

I found a SPFX web part called React Content Query Webpart in the SPFX samplet github which did the task.

 

I will take a look closely how it works to see if I can create my own.

 

Best regards
