Set up and manage autofill columns in Microsoft Syntex

The autofill columns service for Microsoft Syntex is set up in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Prerequisites

Licensing

Before you can use autofill columns, you must first link an Azure subscription in Syntex pay-as-you-go. The autofill columns service is billed based on the type and number of transactions.

Permissions

You must be a SharePoint Administrator or Global Administrator to be able to access the Microsoft 365 admin center and set up autofill columns.

Important

Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. This helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.

Set up autofill columns

After an Azure subscription is linked to Microsoft Syntex, autofill columns is automatically set up and turned on for all SharePoint sites.

Manage sites

By default, the autofill columns service is turned on for libraries in all SharePoint sites. To limit which sites users can use autofill columns, follow these steps.

  1. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, select Settings > Org settings.

  2. On the Org settings page, select Pay-as-you-go services.

  3. On the Pay-as-you-go services page, select the Settings tab.

  4. Under Document & image services, select Autofill columns.

  5. On the Autofill columns panel, under Sites where Autofill can be used when it's turned on, select Edit.

  6. On the Sites where models can be created panel, change the setting from All sites to Selected sites (up to 100) or No sites. For selected sites, follow the instructions to select the sites or upload a CSV listing of the sites. You can then manage site access permissions for the sites you selected.

  7. Select Save.
