Re: SharePoint document set as Teams Tab
JoanelleFryx_n-9th Hello, I simply want to map the inside of a document set like you can with a standard folder in SharePoint in a TeamsTab. Folders work, Document sets do not. Pretty common that companies create documents sets for projects and would want to see a just the contents of a related document set rather than the entire library.SharePoint document set as Teams Tab
I been testing adding folders as a team tab and these work fine. Also, adding a library that contains document set's also works fine and the document sets seem to browse and operate as expected. When adding a document set URL it produces the error below. The same exact process with a folder works. It's a bit surprising this does not work as the document sets do work when adding the entire library however a specific document set like adding a folder does not work. Any feedback is appreciated.Communication Site Vertical Section Dimensions
As of today we noticed that the vertical section on several of our sites seems to have changed size or rendering various app differently than yesterday. For example, the call to action webpart displayed in the vertical section today looks smaller, image is a bit squished looking. We have some powerapps that we display in the vertical section on various sites that previously never displayed scroll bars and as of today all of them are displaying scroll bars. Not sure whats going on here however seems like overnight or recently vertical section dimensions have changed.Re: Add "Other" Option has disappeared
Raya_Anderton Indeed I can confirm Add Other option is missing on Standard forms however its there for Forms PRO. Has this basic feature simply been pulled without any communication and transitioned to only Forms PRO? Seems like a ridiculous concept if this is true or possibly a bug?Re: Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
Hi LincolnDeMaris I believe we have discovered a bug when using modern document sets with the new flow action create folder. The action creates sub folders just fine under document sets however when you have any shared columns enabled the following error is generated in flow. "One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields." Creating sub folder using the create file connector works fine with shared columns enabled however this is not desirable when your creating lots of sub folders as it leaves a file behind you have to deal with. Also the Plumsail connector works fine when creating sub folders with shared folders enabled. I have a ticket open with Microsoft and will share this information with them however its not clear this will get any traction. It would be nice to see this fixed as this create folder action is the correct way to be creating folders and the create file action is more or less a work around with undesirable results. See here for more informationRe: Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
JustSpoor Same here, Seems like the updated icon is still there however they have reverted back to classic experience. Far to much stumbling for such an important update. I question if Microsoft really understood those that use these depended on them in their ECM processes.Re: Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
Another thing, The welcome page does not seem to respect which columns you are actually showing and not showing within the Document set settings. It simply shows all columns after the modernization regardless if they are selected or not selected. I am trying to stay positive here however whats the point on releasing something with a key component such as the welcome page not working correctly. You use the welcome page to create a document set so it's not like this is an optional feature that you can simply disregard.Re: Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
LincolnDeMaris If you are using custom folder content types within the modern document set they use the classic form similar to the classic welcome page that is used when creating new document set. This in combination with the classic welcome page results in a fragmented experience for our organization. The very thing one would have though would have been eliminated by the modernization of the Doc set sill exists.Re: Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
Lanceter Please consider voting for moving & Copying of modern Document sets. You can find the suggestion here in the user voice. I also added a user voice for replacing the classic welcome page with a modern one when creating new document sets however it still has not shown up, will check back tomorrow.Re: Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
osborn_amy It's quite strange that the welcome page is opening a new tab and is classic while the rest is modern. I am pleased that we have this update even though it feels unfinished. Our bigger concern is you still can't move these like other folders within SharePoint, You can only move them within the context of their respective library.Re: Update: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
Thank you for the update, we are patiently waiting and are looking forward to this release. Hopefully we can use the move function within Modern libraries to move the Doc Set to another library and or Collection as needed for Archiving purposes like you can with files & Folders. Something to consider, Within the enterprise document handling is often tied to a Customer, project, etc. generated from a LOB system. Often this data exists upstream so it would make sense one would wan't to generate the document set, folder, etc. from an upstream process rather than a manual process within SharePoint. I would really like to see the ability to be able to create Document sets & Folders directly from PowerApps. In my opinion most organizations rarely start their enterprise ECM processes from within SP and often begin well before we get to SharePoint. This would really take Document sets to a new level. Currently to do this you have to use a variety of work around's by writing your values to a SharePoint list and 3rd party tools to finally take the values and generate a Doc Set.
