Question

Answer

This article explains how to add ProvisionPoint into Teams tabs or to SharePoint using the unique URLs of the app.

ProvisionPoint has a Teams app that can be added to your existing Teams environment, allowing you to stay within Teams to configure or make requests with the app. To find out more about setting this up read Install ProvisionPoint Teams App article.

Link to the ProvisionPoint Requests page

To add a link via Teams or SharePoint to the request page, simply use the ProvisionPoint instance Url (listed in the table below, followed by /request

Location	ProvisionPoint Instance
UK	https://app.provisionpoint.com
EU	https://009.eu-pp365.app
US	https://006.us-pp365.app
AUS	https://011.au-pp365.app
CH	https://016.ch-pp365.app

Url example: https://app.provisionpoint.com/request

Additional filters can also be added, using ? at the end of the url

hideBanner = hides the ProvisionPoint banner
hideNav = prevent navigation to another page

Both can be used together to show only the one page you want.

https://app.provisionpoint.com/request?hideBanner=true&hideNav=true

Please watch the video showing how to add to an existing Team:

I could also use the link to create a button on a SharePoint page or Intranet site:

Link to the ProvisionPoint Info Page to Teams Tab

When configuring your Teams Service Definitions, the info page can be added to a tab in a channel.

This would give:

Owners access to the Actions to make changes
All Owners and members access to the info, timeline and Lifecycle tabs.

Follow the instructions below to configure this:

Open your Service Definition
Go to the Channels tab
Create a Tab
1. Set it as a website
2. Set the Tab order
3. Add Content Url:
  {app_domain}/service-instance/{service_instance_id}/info?hideBanner=true&hideNav=true OR {app_domain}?SiteUrl={SiteUrl}&hideBanner=true&hideNav=true
4. Add Website Url:
  {app_domain}/service-instance/{service_instance_id}/info?hideBanner=true&hideNav=true OR {app_domain}?SiteUrl={SiteUrl}&hideBanner=true&hideNav=true
Save the tab
Click Done
Save your Service Definition

Once requested it will show the info page you can see from the ProvisionPoint Workspaces Directory.

Other ProvisionPoint URLs

Each page/tab in ProvisionPoint has unique URLs, these can be used to navigate to a specific locations throughout the app:

Use the links below to navigate to the relevant place for your requirements.

For each of these there is a {ServiceInstanceID} mentioned. This is a unique id assigned to each requested site/team/plan or community.
This number would need to be found and used instead of the {ServiceInstanceID}. It can be found in the URL when you are viewing the page in ProvisionPoint or can be collected from the export of the directory (Id column).

The directory info page to see an overview of the creation
https://[insertprovisionpointinstance]/service-instance/{ServiceInstanceId}/info OR https://[insertprovisionpointinstance]?SiteUrl={SiteUrl}
The timeline to see the history of changes
https://[insertprovisionpointinstance]/service-instance/{ServiceInstanceId}/timeline
The Actions page to make changes to the workspace
https://[insertprovisionpointinstance]/service-instance/{ServiceInstanceId}/actions
1. Actions have additional options to navigate to a specific category using ?initialTab=Category name, for example, Expiry.
  https://[insertprovisionpointinstance]/service-instance/{ServiceInstanceId}/actions?initialTab=Expiry
2. Or to navigate to a specific action by adding the action type id https://[insertprovisionpointinstance]/service-instance/{ServiceInstanceId}/actions/22
