This tutorial aims to guide users on how to add applications to a SharePoint site or subsite, explaining the types of apps available and the customization options for enhancing site functionality.

Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to SharePoint Apps
    In this tutorial, we will explore how to add apps to a SharePoint site or subsite. First, let's define what a SharePoint app is. These are standalone, user-friendly applications designed to perform specific tasks or meet particular business needs. Additionally, you can incorporate apps that display news or information from third-party websites, allowing for greater customization of your site.
  2. Types of SharePoint Apps
    SharePoint apps can come from various sources. For instance, if your organization has developed custom apps for internal use, you can add them to your organization's app catalog. Alternatively, you can purchase apps from third-party developers by browsing the SharePoint store, ensuring they are compatible with Microsoft.
  3. Adding an App to Your Site
    To add an app to your desired site, navigate to the settings menu and click on 'Add an App.' By default, you will be in the apps tab, where you can select any app available on this page. Common options include document libraries, custom lists, tasks, and psych mailboxes.
  4. Creating a Document Library
    In this example, we will create a document library. Click on the desired application to add it, then select 'Advanced Options.' Here, you can name the library (we will name it 'VCAT') and add a description. You also have the option to configure version history, deciding whether to create a new version with each change. Additionally, you can associate a document template with a content type, ensuring that all documents created under that content type follow an identical template.
  5. Finalizing the Library Creation
    After validating the creation, you will arrive at your new library. You can customize the contents of the library's 'New' button and other options via the gear icon in the library settings. It's important to note that you can add multiple instances of an app to a site to meet different needs. For example, you could have two document libraries and three custom lists.
