Documenting and cataloging SharePoint Lists

Catalog and documentation

Dataedo imports lists from selected sites.

SharePoint Lists

Dataedo retrieves lists in table form, including the elements of the list that Dataedo presents as columns of these tables. Additionally static elements such as buttons, images, and non-editable text are also documented as columns. The names of these elements come from the Internal Name, while the Display Name visible to the user is placed in the Title.
