You can also use firesys if you manage your files on SharePoint. However, the binding of the files works a little differently than on the file system, which is why the following explains how you can bind files from SharePoint. This may be necessary, for example, if you want to bind stories in the master that are located on SharePoint.

SharePoint Server

The easiest way to access your files in SharePoint is to work with Internet Explorer. Here you have the possibility to switch to the Explorer view in the "Library" tab in the "Connect and Export" group by clicking on the "Open with Explorer" button, which allows you to drag and drop the files into the "Select Data Source" field just like on the file system.

Another option, and the one you resort to when using a different browser, is to copy the link. To do this, click on the three dots next to the file. A small dialog will open where you will find a link about centered that you can copy to use in firesys.

SharePoint Online

Login

The login to SharePoint Online takes place when the document is opened. In order for firesys to be used with documents in SharePoint Online, the login to SharePoint must take place via form-based authentication within firesys.

To work with firesys, the question dialogue asking whether the user should remain logged in must be answered with “Yes”.

If the dialogue is not displayed, the “Show ‘Stay logged in’ option” must be activated in the “Azure Active Directory Admin Center”.

Insert content

In the appropriate folder, select the three dots next to the document and select "Details" at the bottom.

Next, a pane opens on the right with detailed information about the document. Scroll down here and click on the small icon next to "Path".

Work in firesys

Now the link has been copied and you can use it in firesys when you select a data source. The corresponding dialog looks like this, using the Excel data manager as an example:

After clicking on "add to list" you can work with firesys as usual.
