Field

Description

Required

Display as

Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists.

If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the URL. For example, Microsoft Office 365 (https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name.

Optional

URL

Enter the URL of your Office 365 account. 

You can find the URL by logging into Microsoft Office 365 using the account you want to use to create the connection. The URL in the address bar is the URL you need to use. It will look something like "https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx?view=14," where mycompany will be the site name of your company. You can copy and paste the full URL or only the part before layouts "layouts" (https://mycompany-my.sharepoint.com/). DryvIQ will ignore the extra part of the URL in most cases.

(warning) If the connection fails, verify the URL. DryvIQ cannot create the connection if the URL is incorrect. 

Required

Token endpoint

This setting is rare for most Microsoft connections and can be left blank. If needed, this value will be provided by your administrator.

Optional

Graph API endpoint

This setting is rare for most Microsoft connections and can be left blank. If needed, this value will be provided by your administrator.

Optional

External users notification

This indicates if you want to send notifications to external users. The default value is No, so no notifications will be sent. 

If you select Yes, notifications will be sent to external users when they have been granted access to content based on permissions.

Optional

Set Tenant Level Connection

This indicates if the connection should be set at the tenant level. The default value is No, so the connection will be set based on the URL provided.

If you select Yes, the connection will override the URL provided and connect to {tenant}-admin.sharepoint.com.

(warning) Using a tenant level connection allows one connection to be used to create jobs that point at different site collections.  When creating a job using the Microsoft Office 365 connection, you will need to make the root an actual site collection since DryvIQ cannot create a new site.  

(warning) Currently, SharePoint Online does not prevent you from creating a document library (subsite) named “sites.” If you will be using a tenant-level connection to SharePoint, you must ensure your site does not contain a document library (subsite) named “sites.” Otherwise, all data for the migration will be transferred to the “sites” library rather than the top-level site. Since “sites” is a managed path in SharePoint, you will not be able to browse to this location to locate the data.

Optional

Behavior When Deleting Items

Select the type of delete DryvIQ should perform when deleting items: Permanent or Soft. Soft delete is the default delete behavior; however, Permanent is the recommended behavior.

A soft delete marks items as a deleted. You can still access them to restore or permanently delete the items.

A permanent delete removes the items. This delete is not reversible.
