Architecture
The PoolParty SharePoint architecture relies strongly on Microsoft's native functionalities. See the connections PoolParty has to SharePoint in this overview.
PoolParty for SharePoint is a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) solution comprised of the PoolParty for SharePoint Administration web part, the PoolParty for SharePoint Search web part and the PoolParty for SharePoint Command Bar and Views extension. It communicates with SharePoint via REST API and Graph API services and with the PoolParty server via functions deployed to Microsoft Azure.
Site admins can use the PoolParty for SharePoint Administration web part to set up PoolParty for SharePoint, for example to connect SharePoint document libraries and lists to a PoolParty taxonomy, to set tagging parameters, or to manage connection details and settings. For more information, refer to the Connecting Content to PoolParty.
Command Bar and Views extension displays the PoolParty for SharePoint UI controls and adjusts views in the SharePoint document libraries and lists connected to PoolParty for SharePoint. These UI controls allow SharePoint users to tag content in document libraries and lists both manually and in an automated way. For more information, refer to the Tagging Content.
PoolParty for SharePoint uses Azure functions to communicate with the PoolParty server. Every function has the same configuration properties. Azure functions communicate with SharePoint using Graph API services and client-side object model (for list attachments only).
Note
The Azure functions for Term store synchronization and tagging are packaged separately, allowing you to only install the necessary functionalities. If you want to install both the PoolParty for SharePoint Tagging and the PoolParty for SharePoint Term Store Synchronization modules, you need to deploy the functions into two separate function apps. Each function app can use a separate app registration. For more information, refer to Installation and Configuration Process.
