Tools and functional components

Overview of TreeINFO for SharePoint tools and functional components and examples of their use

Form Designer

Forms for SharePoint quickly and easily

Graphic Designer helps you design, create, set up and manage ergonomic forms in SharePoint without programming.

Forms can be graphically organized by expandable sections or tabs, and fields in each section can be arranged into multiple columns. By dragging and dropping a field from the list of available fields into the form, you can quickly and easily prepare a graphical form. You can then set the desired parameters in the properties panel. In addition, fields can use the extended functionality of TreeINFO components.

In addition, the form can have different forms, for example, for individual workflow steps or based on the logged-in user.

Main features:
  • Aggregation of fields into groups (sections) or tabs
  • Option to split the form into multiple columns
  • Field definition - mandatory, editable/read-only, validation of the entered value
  • Alternative form definitions - different form layouts based on defined attribute values (e.g. workflow status)
  • Displaying a preview of the document in the form
  • Application of CSS styles for graphical modification of form layout
  • Print form layout - print metadata according to a defined html template
  • Scripting option
  • Setting permissions on an item based on metadata
  • Definition of buttons in the toolbar (Ribbon) or directly in the form
  • Contextual help for fields in the form - display in a bubble, possibility to trigger an action

Usage examples:
  • Anywhere you need to create an ergonomic form with built-in functionality.

Workflow Designer

Workflow creation in the graphical interface

Graphical Designer allows you to design and manage workflows in SharePoint without programming.

By dragging and dropping activities and decision elements from a list into a process graph, simple and complex workflows can be easily created. By linking individual elements and then defining conditions and actions for transitions between workflow steps, it is easy to set who and when a task should be created, how document values or items in a process (such as Document Status) should be set or changed.

TreeINFO uses its own Workflow Engine to run electronic processes
 

Counted column

A Counted Column is a column (array) that is automatically filled with the value of a defined single or collapsed string. The string values can consist of a value generated by one or more number generators, static text, values retrieved from parent folder metadata, metadata of the current item, or site or list attributes.

Examples of use:

  • Barcode generation of received electronic invoices
  • Generation of contract and file numbers
  • Unique document numbering
  • Inheritance of metadata within the hierarchical structure of documents (files)
  • Automatic numbering of items in lists (e.g. project number, request number)
  • Composing a field value from other available field values on the for


Advanced Table

This is a field that displays an edit table on the form. The table allows you to define styles, format numbers, conditional formatting, insert and remove rows, and math operations basic aggregation columns (sum, average, min/max value, count). Field values can also be inserted via other functions - user selection, advanced search, attachment and reference, managed metadata and comments. For each column you can set whether it is mandatory or editable.

Examples of use:

  • Invoice spreadsheet
  • List of attachments and reference documents
  • Collecting comments on documents
  • Transmission reports with list of items including attributes
  • Workflow history
  • Creation of cross-links between related objects e.g. Invoice - Order, Invoice - Contract, Invoice - Project.

Advanced Choice

This is a field that extends the standard Choice field type. It allows the use of source values or resource dials for individual choice values, i.e. to locate individual choices.

Examples of use:

  • Display values for selection in different language variants

Attachment

This is the field for inserting attachments in the item form. Attachments can be attached to list items and documents in the document library. The field displays the list of attachments in a configurable table on the form or in a list view. The attachment is inserted as an attached file that is stored in the attachment library.

Examples of use:

  • Attaching relevant documentation to invoice items - delivery note, receipt, handover report.

Template Column

This is a field for data visualization - graphical display of the value. The field is non-editable and displays a specified graphic according to the defined value - icon, image, text, etc.

Examples of use:

  • Graphical indication of various statuses - for example, unique permission indicator on an item, metadata thresholds, graphical display of process status, etc.


Workflow Engine

TreeINFO uses its own Workflow Engine to run electronic processes, which allows for easier deployment, higher performance and stability of the workflow environment. All workflow definitions and configurations are stored in SharePoint, making it easy to modify, manage, and migrate as needed.

Custom workflow creation, configuration and setup is done through Workflow Designer.

External Lookup

This is a field with dynamic search in the data source, with the possibility of copying the metadata of the selected item to other fields of the form. The fields can be linked together.

The following can be configured as search sources:
  • SQL database (table, view or procedure)
  • SharePoint list
  • Web service
  • Active Directory / LDAP
  • Static data source
The search field has several options for displaying results:
  • Whisperer - after entering at least one character, matching values are searched for and displayed.
  • Expanding menu - after opening the form, the menu will be searched and populated according to the defined conditions.
  • Search drop-down menu - displayed as a text box into which the search text is entered and the drop-down menu is displayed after the search.
  • Data table - is displayed as a text field into which text is inserted for searching and after searching a data sheet is displayed for more precise selection of the desired value.
Examples of use:
Searching for a supplier in an external ERP system and adding additional metadata to the item from the search result.

MyTasks

The "My Tasks" web part displays a list of tasks assigned to the logged-in user. It can be sorted and filtered. In addition, the list displays metadata from the item associated with the task in columns.

Examples of use:

  • Aggregation of tasks from workflows for a logged in user with support for displaying data for decision making.

Parametric Search

The "Parametric Search" web part provides a form for entering or selecting parameters that will be used to find the desired items. The search form can take several forms, switchable by tabs.

Search results are displayed in a clear configurable table within the webpage. The list of results can also be sorted, filtered and exported to a CSV file.

Examples of use:

  • Anywhere where an ergonomic interface is needed to easily search for items based on specified attributes.
