SharePoint Web Parts Integration

Organizations can integrate SharePoint functionality with their system. Using SharePoint Web Parts, administrators can configure their Welcome page widgets to be integrated with SharePoint, which enables users to access system pages through their internal SharePoint services.

This integration is only supported for Sharepoint version 2010. It is unavailable for future purchase/enablement as it will be retired in a future release.

Troubleshooting

The user must be logged in to the system in order for SharePoint Web Parts to function properly. If a user is logged out of the system, the user must log in to the system to reestablish a connection between SharePoint and the system.

Users can only see the widgets that match their settings within Welcome Page Preferences. Also, any updates made to widgets within Welcome Page Preferences are reflected in SharePoint in real time.
