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.

Before you add the Search Web Part to a site collection, sub site, or search center, make sure an Administrator has created a connection for the site collection or web application in the Admin Console. When placing the web part on a site or site collection, the default search results displayed will be those from the connected Jive Place. You can click on All Results to see results from your entire Jive instance. When placing the web part in a search center, you will see search results from your entire Jive instance.

To add the Search Web Part to the Home page of your site collection, site, or search center:

  1. From the site collection or sub site, click settings icon > Edit page.
  2. Click the Insert tab.
  3. Navigate to Jive > Jive Search Results > Add. Your Jive Search Web Part should now show up on the Home page of your site collection or sub site.
