The Catenda SharePoint application can be enabled for a SharePoint environment by a system administrator and then added to a site by a site owner.

With this app SharePoint users will be able to view, manage and collaborate on documents in Catenda together with other members of the construction project.

This article contains information about the following topics

To enable the app for your environment you will be able to find its entry here:

Microsoft AppSource which can look something like this:

After clicking on "Get it now" you will be asked to log into your SharePoint account if you are not logged in already. You will then be redirected to the SharePoint Store entry

The SharePoint store can also be found by clicking on your profile on the top right in SharePoint and then clicking on Add an app

In the SharePoint store you will also be able to search the Catenda SharePoint application:

https://<Tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/appcatalog/_layouts/15/appStore.aspx/sharePointStore?entry=ClassicAppCatalog&sorting=7&search=catenda

The SharePoint Store entry can look something like this:

https://<Tenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appStore.aspx/appDetail/WA200005981

Regular SharePoint users will be able to request the Catenda SharePoint app to be enabled by clicking on the Add to Apps site button. You will see if your request was approved on the My requests page in the SharePoint store.
If you are an administrator you will be able to approve the request from the app catalog

https://<Tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/appcatalog/SitePages/Home.aspx

As an administrator in a SharePoint environment you will be able to enable the app by clicking Add to Apps site. Here you will be asked to confirm data access.

Confirm data access

The app you're about to enable will have access to data by using the identity of the person using it. Enable this app only if you trust the developer or publisher.

The app needs this permission to know which of the users files to publish when they choose to publish them.

The endpoint is: https://sharepoint.plugins.catenda.com/1.0.0.0/

API access that must be approved after you enable this app - Catenda, access

This is referring to the fact that SharePoint administrators will have to connect their Catenda account to enable the publishing of documents.

Users will also be asked to log in with their Catenda account when they try to publish something to Catenda as each user can have different permissions in Catenda.

This option enables the app for the SharePoint environment which lets site owners within your environment add the app to their from the My apps page.

The app does nothing until it is added to a site.

While this option is great, if you like to have better control over which sites users are able to publish documents to Catenda from, it can make it confusing to users if some sites have the option to publish while others do not.

For even more control you can enable the site collection app catalog which give site lets you choose which apps site owner can install.

With this option the app will also not be on by default on new sites which means it is more work to configure a new site when it is created.

With this option the app will automatically be added to all sites.

The only visual difference the user will wee when the app is added to their site is that they will have the list command in their list and hamburger menu when selecting a document.

Webparts and full pages will have to be added later.

This can also be done from the manage apps page later.

With this option the app will also be added to Teams.

This will allow users to see the teams tab.

This can also be done from the manage apps page later.

After enabling the app SharePoint administrators will be able to see your app in the Manage apps area.

https://<Tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/appcatalog/AppCatalog/Forms/AllItems.aspx

After selecting the app it can be added to different parts of Sharepoint.

This will add the app to all sites and all new sites that are created.

If the app is enabled, site owners will also be able to individually add the app to a site.

If you do not wish to keep adding the app to new sites you can stop doing so by clicking on stop adding to new sites.

The functionality provided by the app will continue to be available on all sites where it was added, and site owner can still add this app to their sites.

This enables the teams tab for the app.

For the app to be added to teams it has to be added to all sites first.
