Add a new data source

Depending on your Docs permissions, when your

 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://.

    BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
    , open
    Docs

    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.

    Path

If the path is verified and a connection is made, then the new source will now be listed in

SharePoint
 and File Share, requires you to authenticate with your
