Metadata loader for SharePoint

Hello Alteryx Team,

 

Would you consider creating a metadata loader for SharePoint? A lot of companies that we are working with have a lot of data stored in SharePoint and they would like to catalog their metadata.

 

I am aware that it is possible to use the Files Loader when the SharePoint drive is mapped as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer, but the mapping and subsequent scheduling is very problematic, also because of security policies in large enterprises.

 

Having a SharePoint dedicated loader would be a great benefit.

 

Thank you very much for considering this idea.

 

Regards,

Jan Laznicka

I have struggled with this. Closest I've been able to come is a Nintex workflow that frequently copies the sharepoint file to a shared drive that Alteryx can access. This is a lot of extra work and outside my core skillset and permissions to make this happen. It usually requires assistance from 2-3 others
