Auto Mapping
Auto Mapping is the feature of KONNEKT, that automatically maps all SharePoint Online sites & document libraries into the users Windows File Explorer (and other file dialogues). Only sites & libraries, the user has access to, are mapped.
Administrators can control this feature on two levels:
- 1.Site level
- 2.Library level
KONNEKT updates the mappings every 60 minutes.
1. Site scope
This policy is applicable to version 2.0 and above
By default KONNEKT will map all team and communication sites, the user has access to. Private channels of Teams are not in the default site scope.
If you are fine with that, you do not need to use this policy.
This policy enables you to define the query string used to find SharePoint sites.
The site query needs to be expressed in KQL. You can find general KQL documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/keyword-query-language-kql-syntax-reference​
A list of query properties for SharePoint can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/technical-reference/crawled-and-managed-properties-overview​
