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 Menu 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.
