SPO vs Google Analytics Discrepancies
I've created a GA report filtered by site (path begins with /sites/sitename) and see drastically different numbers in SPO and GA. Both filters are 7 days One page has 29 unique viewers in SPO, 14 in GA Some pages are omitted in GA Pages from other sites have 1 hit (is GA counting exit pages?)
Tracking Usage on SharePoint Communication Site
Hi, We have a SharePoint communication site and are looking for ways to track its usage beyond just the landing page. Specifically, we want to understand who is accessing not only the landing page but also the document libraries linked through the quick links on the page. Could you advise on how to conduct an audit that captures usage data for the entire site, including all libraries accessed via the quick links? What options should I consider when setting up the audit, or is there an alternative method to achieve this? Thank you!Embedding Scribe slides iframe in SharePoint - HTML Field Security set up but still blocked!
I'm running into an issue with embedding Scribe slides in SharePoint: I’ve added scribehow.com to the HTML Field Security settings at the site collection level under "Allow contributors to insert iframes only from the following domains." I confirmed that DenyAddAndCustomizePages is disabled I tested using this Embed Web Part (sort of) <iframe src="https://scribehow.com/page-embed/blah_blah_blah" width="100%" height="640" allowfullscreen frameborder="0"></iframe> The Embed Web Part shows an error saying the domain isn’t allowed: "Embedding content from this website isn't allowed, but your admin can change this setting by adding scribehow.com to the list of sites that are allowed." I've also: Tested after a couple hours for propagation Verified that other iframes (e.g., YouTube) work fine in the same web part Disabled Youtube in the HTML Field Security settings, it still works??? Cleared the browser cache and tested in multiple browsers Despite all this, the embed still throws that error, so.... Is there something I’m missing in configuring HTML Field Security or tenant-level settings? Has anyone successfully embedded Scribe in SharePoint, and if so, how did you configure it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Make dropdowns open automatically
Hello, I have a few dropdown menus on my SharePoint page which are closed by default and I have a few buttons referencing on the dropdown menus via quicklinks. Now I don't want to have every dropdown section open by default as that would be overwhelming, but is there a way to let them open up individually when I click on the respective button? Right now it only takes me there to a closed dropdown section which isn't really an optimal user experience. Thanks for any help in advance!
Sharepoint columns sync with File Explorer view, or an alternative option
Hi all I'm more an admin person rather than IT, but have been asked to find a solution for one of our directors who prefers to open his documents using File Explorer over Sharepoint online. And before you ask, no he won't change his ways! I need to be able to set up File Explorer to filter/display/order (however you want to name it) project folders synced with Sharepoint according to whether they are: 1/ Active or Complete (status) 2/ under his name as project manager. I thought I had found the answer by adding columns to Sharepoint (see attached a screen shot below), but I have since discovered that those columns do not feed across to File Explorer. The only other solution I have is adding multiple layers of folders to Sharepoint. This will only complicate the library for other users so I am averse to implementing this. Is there a way of tagging or adding some form of metadata to folders that will pass between Sharepoint and File Explorer that we can use to then filter the view on his device? Any suggestions please and thank you.
Open in a new tab and etc
Hello, My company recently switched from Drive to SharePoint a few days ago, but I find SharePoint lacking in usability. I've encountered several frustrating issues while using the platform. Here’s a list of the problems I’ve experienced, and I would appreciate your advice if there are any possible solutions: It’s not possible to open a document in a “new tab” or window. This is frustrating because I have to check each file one by one. Even when I switch the view (e.g., Tiles, Compact List, or List), it keeps resetting itself, which is very inconvenient. When I click on a random PDF, JPG, or similar file, it doesn’t show me which folder the file belongs to. I can’t pin or add my favorite folders to the left menu for quick access. Searching is a major issue. The search function only works based on the current folder I’m in, and to perform an effective search, I have to go back to the root folder every time.
Synced Sharepoint through MS Teams shown as duplicate in Windows Explorer after rename to "all caps"
Hi all, After a change of our Organization entry where all our sharepoints are located from "proper" to "all capitals", every user that makes use of the sync option now seems to have duplicate synced sharepoint folders of the old "proper" sharepoint and the new "all caps" sharepoint in their file explorer. These folders do work from the same location on your C:\ drive but it might give some confusion to the end-user. If there is a user that starts syncing after the name change (not having synced any sharepoints prior) as expected they will not run into the same issue. Is there a better way then to unlink the synced libraries of all users and resync them? Thanks and with kind regards, Andrew
Looking for an Microsoft Expert for on call help
We are a small company with employees in Sydney and Canberra, everyone works from home and there’s about 10 of us. We currently use Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Sharepoint but we have a growing list of Microsoft issues. Can anyone recommend an IT expert who helps businesses with various Microsoft App issues over the phone? It would be handy to find someone that you could call when an issue arises and who could teach the staff how to fix that issue over the phone when needed? I know of Geek2u but i'm hoping for more of an 'over the phone' kind of service with an individual who specialises in Microsoft systems. Kind regards Kate
