Content Repositories

In the Content Management section, before Kony Management Suite 3.5, Enterprise content is uploaded only by an administrator. To extend the enterprise content feature to include files and folders from the enterprise SharePoint, a new Repositories feature is introduced in Kony Management Suite 3.5 GA. The Repositories feature in the Content Management section of Kony Management Suite enables an administrator to connect the content section of the enterprise store on a device to the Microsoft SharePoint environment. The Sharepoint administrator determines whether an end user can access files and folders. The Repositories feature helps an administrator:

• Add a new SharePoint repository.
• Add folders from SharePoint to appear on a device with all folder contents.

The rRepositories page displays the available repositories in Kony Management Suite. You can also create a new repository in this page.

The Repositories screen appears with the list of repositories.The list view displays a list of all repositories along with other details. You can search the repositories based on each column.
