Add a new data source

Depending on your Docs permissions, when your
BlackBerry Work
administrator is unavailable to assist, you can add new FileShare,
SharePoint
,
Box
, and other sites directly from your device if you have already been granted access to the share or site.
Verify that you have the following information for the FileShare or
SharePoint
data source:
  • File share: The path to the file on your organization's intranet
  • SharePoint
    : The fully qualified URL of the
    SharePoint
    site. If a secure connection is enabled, the protocol is https://. Otherwise, the protocol is http://.
  1. In the
    BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
    , open
    Docs
    .
  2. Tap The Navigation Drawer icon >
    Add New Source
    .
  3. Tap
    File Share
    ,
    SharePoint
    , or
    Box
    .
  4. Enter a
    Name
    for the new source. You should verify the data source path from a browser on a computer to confirm that connectivity is available.
  5. Enter the
    Path
    .
  6. Tap
    Save
    .
If the path is verified and a connection is made, then the new source will now be listed in
BlackBerry Work
Docs under either File Share,
SharePoint
, or
Box
by the name you have given it. Note that
Box
, unlike
SharePoint
and File Share, requires you to authenticate with your
Box
password (your username is prepopulated) the first time that you use the repository.
Box
does not support check in or check out in this release.
