Configuration#

The ability to distribute files to SharePoint from Reportworq is achieved through the use of stored SharePoint login credentials. The user name (version dependent) and password are the credentials required to authenticate to the SharePoint server to post files to SharePoint libraries. When job distribution is configured, specify the path to the SharePoint Library where reports should be distributed. The login credentials specified here must have permission to create/delete/update files in the SharePoint libraries where Reportworq should distribute files. SharePoint credentials are automatically encrypted by Reportworq.

The Location URL on the job and recipient screens needs to be in the following form:
https://myofficeserver.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/myfolder1/myfolder2
