Create an consultation library of updated documents located in a SharePoint folder

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 9

I'm managing a folder of documents in SharePoint together and I want to create a document (it can be an Excel file) that allows me to find and track the updated list of documents in the folder. SharePoint users will add, modify, move or delete documents and this list should remain current. There would also be columns for adding different tags (e.g. location in the folder, language, owner) that would make it easy to search for documents. Can anyone help me with a template for this flow?

    Rather than a flow, you're describing using a gallery in a Power App to display information for a SharePoint document library.

     

    Many of the fields you want to see (name, last modified, link to item) are already baked into a SharePoint document library and can be displayed in a gallery control in app by:

    1. Connecting the document library as a data source to the app
    2. Adding a gallery control
    3. Add a few labels to the gallery control to show each of the fields you want to see

    Your app can be set up to refresh or re-query the document library frequently so you can see changes minute by minute.

     

    Hope that helps,

    This is fantastic! Could you possibly send me a trial video or a more detailed explanation of the steps? Your description is exactly what I want.

    Thank you very much!

    Kind regards,
