Software requirements for SharePoint document management

If you want to use SharePoint document management functionality with Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises), you must meet the requirements listed here:

  • To use server-based integration with SharePoint, you can use Microsoft SharePoint Online or Microsoft SharePoint 2013 SP1 on-premises (or a later version).

    Important

    SharePoint Foundation versions aren’t supported for use with Customer Engagement (on-premises) document management.


  • A SharePoint site collection. You also need at least one site collection configured and available for Customer Engagement (on-premises).
  • Server-based SharePoint integration must be enabled. More information: Manage your documents using SharePoint
  • Users who access SharePoint from Customer Engagement (on-premises) must have appropriate permissions on the SharePoint site collection where the document management components are installed. For more information about how to grant membership on a site collection, see the SharePoint Help.

About server-based SharePoint integration

Earlier versions of Customer Engagement (on-premises) document management use a client-to-server strategy to authenticate and transmit data from Customer Engagement (on-premises) to SharePoint. Server-based (using server-to-server authentication) SharePoint integration provides the following benefits:

  • User interface that is consistent with the newly-updated Customer Engagement (on-premises) user interface.

  • Users can create and view folders when using document management within Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps.

  • To configure and use document management, you do not need to be signed in to both Customer Engagement (on-premises) and SharePoint.
