Introduction
Providing users a rich desktop experience for accessing and managing SharePoint content is a common issue within SharePoint deployments. Colligo Contributor provides this rich SharePoint integration through its core engine and main User-Interface/Outlook Add-in. Support is taken one-step further with Contributor providing a seamless experience in a disconnected (offline) environment. Customers have recognized the power of Contributor and demand more flexibility.
To provide customers the greatest flexibility the Contributor engine has been abstracted into a .Net API.
Scope
The API provides developers the ability to develop applications demanding the following functionality:Creation of new list items and documents
- Importing existing documents in to the Contributor store
- Getting collections of sites, lists, list items, and documents from the store.
- Getting metadata of list items and documents in the store
- Updating the metadata of list items and documents
- Removing list items and documents from the Contributor store
- Initiate synchronization of sites or individual lists
- Register new sites with Contributor, and removing existing registrations
