"SharePoint Sites" - Dataverse table

Hello community,

Today I discovered something intriguing in Dataverse. I have followed Shane Young's tutorial to build a SharePoint document library browser in Power Apps. The missing feature in his tutorial is that you can't browse other SharePoint sites.

I found out that Dataverse has a table called "SharePoint Sites" and I assume it would populate all the SharePoint sites that I have access to. Is this true?

Also, when I try to display data from this table in Power Apps, the gallery is empty no matter what views I use.

What is this table and could I somehow use it to make the document library browser go 1 level higher to browse SharePoint sites?

Regards,

Ville

Hi
Instead of using blank vertical gallery try using Vertical gallery and check your data will be visible and if you want to use blank vertical only then click on pencil icon and take label your data may be visible
Thank you

Hi,

It's not a blank vertical gallery in the screenshot I posted. I am using the layout of image, title and subtitle but no data is shown.

Hi @VilPel ,

The value of site needs to be added manually.

Microsoft Dataverse supports integration with SharePoint Online that enables you to use the document management capabilities of SharePoint from within Dataverse.

Power Apps portals now supports uploading and displaying documents to and from SharePoint directly on a basic form or advanced form in a portal.

This allows portal users to view, download, add, and delete documents from a portal. Portal users can also create subfolders to organize their documents.

Here

Best Regards,

I think I found my answer: Known issues with document management - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

This post describes why the Documents table is not populated. This is sad and unfortunate.
