Office 365 SharePoint

The Qlik Office 365 SharePoint connector lets you fetch data from your SharePoint account.

Supported offerings

  • Qlik Sense Desktop
  • Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
  • QlikView

This connector must be installed separately.

Ways to access your data

You need to authenticate the connection to access your Office 365 SharePoint data .

Do the following:

  1. Enter the SharePoint base URL that you want to connect to, and click Authenticate.

  2. Log in using your SharePoint account credentials.

  3. Retrieve the authentication token and enter it into the connector.

    Your credentials are stored in the Qlik Web Connectors.

Loading data from tables

After you authenticate the connector with your account credentials, use the tables to fetch your data. See: Defining table parameters.

The table below outlines some of the use cases for some of the tables that are available.

Tables that can be loaded

Working with the SharePoint REST API quota limits

The Qlik Web Connectors use the SharePoint REST API to extract data from Office 365 SharePoint and load it into your app. While reloading you Office 365 SharePoint-based app, you might receive an error message that the connector has reached the SharePoint REST API rate limit and that all subsequent API calls will fail until the connector falls back under the throttling limit. If you receive this error message, then you have exceeded one of the API rate limits.

You receive an error message that you have reached the API rate limit

Troubleshooting

You receive an error message that you have reached the API rate limit

Possible cause  

You have exceeded the API limits that are imposed on Qlik Web Connectors by the SharePoint REST API.

Proposed action  

To reduce the impact of reaching the API rate limits, develop your app with the following in mind:

  • Extract only the data you need.
  • Reload one Office 365 SharePoint-based application at a time.
  • Ensure that loops in your script that make API calls will not result in infinite loops.
