Using Jive for SharePoint

Jive for SharePoint makes it easier to use Jive and SharePoint together. It brings the ease of Jive's communication and collaboration into SharePoint without missing a beat! Even when you need to spend your time in SharePoint, you can still be aware of and participate in Jive Place activity.

Overview of Jive for SharePoint
Jive for SharePoint enables you to collaborate on documents and discussions in either SharePoint or Jive.
Accessing a SharePoint Site from Jive
You can access a SharePoint site from a Jive group or space. In the Actions menu, just click Go to SharePoint site.
Jive Web Parts
If your admin has enabled this functionality, you can use SharePoint to interact with Jive documents and discussions.
Using the Jive Search Web Part
Once you connect to a SharePoint Site Collection or SharePoint Web Application in Jive, you can add the Search Web Part to any site collection, site, or search center (if you have permission) that is connected to Jive. It enables users to search for Jive documents in SharePoint, if they have permission to see them.
Where's My Stuff?
Jive for SharePoint stores attachments and uploaded files in SharePoint. Metadata, such as likes, replies, and comments, is stored in Jive, as well as Jive documents and previews.
Connecting a New Jive Place to a SharePoint Site
If your admin has enabled this functionality, create a new space or group and connect it to a new or existing SharePoint site. Use the SharePoint site as storage only or storage plus Jive functionality.
Connecting an Existing Jive Place to a SharePoint Site
If your admin has enabled this functionality, edit a space or group and connect it to a new or existing SharePoint site. Use the SharePoint site as storage only or storage plus Jive functionality.
Using an Existing SharePoint Site
When you connect a Jive place to an existing SharePoint site, make sure you know the SharePoint URL.
Creating New SharePoint Site
When you choose to connect to a new SharePoint site, Jive will create the site for you and use the permissions established in your Jive Place.
Deleting a Jive Place or SharePoint Site
For most SharePoint-connected places you delete in Jive, the SharePoint site is also deleted. The exception is when a Jive Place is connected to an existing SharePoint site.
Searching in Jive for SharePoint Content
When you search in Jive, you'll also see results from any SharePoint sites linked to your Jive Community.
Searching in SharePoint for Jive Content
When searching SharePoint sites under Jive-linked site collection, a Jive Search Results tab opens on the search results page. Using this tab enable you to see results from the associated Jive-linked instance.
SharePoint Integration Types
Jive can leverage SharePoint for storage only or for storage plus Jive interactions. If enabled by your admin, when you create a Jive place, you can select how it should correspond to a SharePoint site and whether to create a new site or use an existing one.
Remote Document Options
When you connect a Jive place to SharePoint, you need to select how activity for remote (SharePoint) documents should appear in your activity stream.
