Previous TopicNext TopicContents

To set your SharePoint settings:

Note: Ensure the settings you entered in Configuring Microsoft SharePoint to Work with P6 match the settings you enter below.

  1. Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
  2. In the Configurations tab, expand your configuration.
  3. Expand Database/Instance[n]/Content Repository.
  4. In the Type field, choose SharePoint.
  5. In the Maximum document size field, enter the maximum size for documents that can be uploaded to P6. The default is 10240 KB. You can enter anything from 0-1048576 KB.
  6. Expand Database/Instance[n]/Content Repository/SharePoint.
  7. In the Login Name field, enter a SharePoint user name with administrative privileges.

    Note: You do not need to include your domain. You just need your user name.

  8. In the Password field, enter the password for the SharePoint login name.
  9. In the Authentication Mode field, select the mode used to connect to the SharePoint content repository database. P6 EPPM users cannot access content repository functions if you do not configure this setting.
