Install and configure WorkZone SharePoint

Prerequisite:

  • WorkZone SharePoint is supported from WorkZone Cloud Edition only.
  • Your organization must use Entra ID.
  • The WorkZone SharePoint app must be registered in Entra (see Register WorkZone SharePoint app in Azure).
  • WorkZone SharePoint requires WorkZone version 2022.1 or later.

WorkZone SharePoint Connector is designed and tested to work on Cloud-based (Azure) setup with Microsoft Office Online. It is independent from any other WorkZone service, although it connects to WorkZone (OData) and Office Online – SharePoint.

The WorkZone SharePoint architecture consists of 3 parts:

  1. WorkZone SharePoint Backend (SpConnector) - is responsible for communication between customer's SharePoint and WorkZone.
  2. WorkZone SharePoint Frontend – provides UI for WorkZone components displayed in SharePoint.
  3. WorkZone SharePoint package – a SharePoint app to deploy to your SharePoint site. See Microsoft documentation for detailed guidelines.

WorkZone SharePoint Backend (SpConnector)

Backend can be installed on any server.

Prerequisite:

Network connection must be opened for WorkZone OData and SharePoint Online.

For guidelines on configuring WorkZone containers, see Preparing container installation.

WorkZone SharePoint Frontend

Frontend does not require any specific hosting. It can be hosted anywhere, but must be accessible for SharePoint. Frontend contains only static files that have to be put on the web server. For this reason, there is no installer provided by KMD.

WorkZone SharePoint package

Package is a SharePoint app that you will need to deploy to your SharePoint Online site, as described in the Microsoft guidelines.

The workzone.sppkg extention is provided by KMD to each customer/environment separately, as it contains the URL to WorkZone services (WorkZone domain, WorkZone SharePoint Backend and WorkZone SharePoint Frontend).

Upgrade WorkZone SharePoint

If you are upgrading from earlier versions, uninstall the old version of WorkZone SharePoint before installing the new version.
