ABOUT THE INTEGRATION

Connect SharePoint with digital signage

Many company information assets are already maintained in SharePoint. Instead of recreating content for displays, SharePoint can be used as the existing source. Depending on the use case, options range from the full web view and synchronized files to structured data for custom display layouts.

Display SharePoint pages

Complete SharePoint pages or intranet content can be displayed as a web application on suitable players.

Synchronize files automatically

Documents and media from SharePoint can be provided automatically for playback, so changes do not have to be maintained twice.

News and data in custom layouts

Lists, news and metadata can be retrieved via Microsoft Graph or project-specific data connections and displayed in custom connectSignage layouts.

TECHNOLOGY & SECURITY

The right SharePoint integration depends on the desired result

Web interfaces, files and API data are technically different integration paths. Authentication, permissions and players are therefore selected to match the specific use case.

Web application

Protected SharePoint pages are opened directly on suitable players. Depending on the environment, Windows SSO or a login macro can be used for authentication.

File synchronization

cosUploader monitors defined files or folders. New or changed content is automatically transferred to connectSignage and cached locally on the players.

Microsoft Graph / API

For structured data, only the required sites, lists or fields are enabled. App-only permissions with admin consent can be used for unattended synchronization.
