The Dynamics 365 SharePoint integration enables you to utilize all SharePoint document management abilities, including checking the document in and out, viewing version history, searching capabilities, and more. You can also save on high storage costs with this integration.

This blog article outlines how to activate SharePoint in DCP and the available options for saving a document to SharePoint.

Prerequisites:

  1. Enable SharePoint integration in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  2. Activate SharePoint in DCP.

Depending on the context, the following options to save to SharePoint are supported:

1. Via DCP Dialog

In your Dynamics 365, select the [Create document] button from your starting record. The DCP dialog will open. Once you reach the processing settings, a “Save to SharePoint” checkbox allows you to store the file in the SharePoint folder of that record.
