How to use it

1. In Setup, go to Installed Packages, find the sFiles package, and click the Configure link.

2. Once the wizard loads, click ID Search Utility on the left navigation panel to load the tool. Wait a few seconds to allow the site list to populate.

3. Choose tab.  Browse for folder is outlined below.  If you prefer to search by SharePoint URL, follow the instructions here - Id Search Utility: Searching by path
4. The first selection box focuses on the SharePoint site.  Click the box to list the top 100 sites available to your SharePoint user. If your SharePoint user does not have access to a site, it will not list. You can also type part of the site name to search by name (this is helpful if your site collection contains more than 100 sites).


5. Click on a site name (sFiles Demo in example).

6. It will become visible in the next screen with its Id in the box below. Also, sFiles loads the available document libraries for the selected site. Click in the Document Library box to see them. Once again, if your SharePoint user does not have access to a document library, it will not list.

7. Select a document library (sFiles Test in example above) to have the Library Id and Library Folder Id populate. At this time, sFiles will load the available folders within the library. Folder visibility is also controlled by SharePoint permissions.

If it has folders, you can continue to multiple levels.
 

Search for Ids by URL Path

Ids can also be retrieved by inputting a SharePoint URL into our "Search by Path" feature. Follow our article, Id Search Utility: Searching by path (sfiles.io) for instructions on how to use this tool.

Explanation of where to use Ids

The SharePoint Site Id can be used in the SharePoint Settings Metadata Type, the SharePoint Object Settings Metadata Type, and at the Enterprise sFiles Lightning component. It determines which site to use at the org, object, or component instance level.

The Library Id can be used in the SharePoint Settings Metadata Type, the SharePoint Object Settings Metadata Type, and at the Enterprise sFiles Lightning component. It determines which library to use at the org, object, or component instance level.

The Library Folder Id is optionally used as the Root Folder Id on the SharePoint Object Settings Metadata Type or as a value on a given Salesforce Object to be referenced by the Root Id Field Name property of the sFiles Lightning Component. This value is only used in custom configurations when the root of the document library is intended to be the folder in which to place linked Salesforce folders.

The Folder Ids for each folder are used as the Root Folder Id in the SharePoint Object Settings Metadata Type and and the sFiles lightning components. This field determines which folder will contain linked Salesforce folders at either the object or component instance level.
