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
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!
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
Programmatically remediate SharePoint and OneDrive Oversharing links
Hi SPO Brain Trust, Has anyone been able to work around a solution to programmatically remove oversharing links (from content level) from SharePoint sites and OneDrives as opposed to using 3rd party tooling? Very keen to hear your thoughts on this as we're looking at manually remediating these from our environment. Thank you!Maximum value for SharePoint List unique ID
Hi everyone, I have a SharePoint List that gets updated daily. I have 25000-30000 items that get completely deleted every night and then created again with new values and content. So every new item gets a new list ID. I'm a little bit worried because, even though SharePoint lists can store up to 30 Million items, what happens when the unique ID assigned to each item gets "overflowed"? For example, right now the last item's ID is 480368, and as I said before I create 30000 new items every single day , so doing a simple math it would take 1000 days to reach an ID number of 30000000 (if that's possible, I don't even know). What happens when the ID reaches a limit? Would it break the list? Will I be able to keep creating new items? Just to make it completely clear: the list will never reach the 30 million limit. It will always stay on 25000-30000 items. But I'm scared that the ID will break this process in less than 3 years. Thanks for your help!
Sharepoint as order database - adding multiple items
Hello, I woul like to make sharepoint list as our orders from customer database. When we receive an order it usually concerns several products. How I can add several items/products + their quantity? Please see an example of an order Order no. Date Company Name Products Quantity Status 123456 19.10.2024 Microsoft John Smith A 2 B 3 C 5Review users who will lose access to "xxxxxx"
A simple question but i cant seem to find the right answer. When guest users have been granted access to a site or file, it will expire after x period of time. MS documentation claims ALL site admins will receive a notification via mail. I have some pretty clear examples this isn't the case. Older documentation claims the Primary admin will receive an email but when i check the examples, the owner group is the primary admin and that group contains 'all' the admins. So you would expect all of them to receive an email. But only one of them is getting that email and i really would like to know how why that is happening? Am i missing something obvious?
