Who is this article for?

Users who want to learn to access SharePoint views in Outlook.

No elevated permissions are required.

This article explains how OnePlaceMail provides access to SharePoint public and private views directly within Outlook.

1. Access SharePoint views in Outlook

The Outlook-style experience provides access to both SharePoint public and private views for the selected location.

The default view defined in the library or list will automatically be presented when selecting the location.

2. Supported view capabilities

• Group by
• Sorting
• Filtering
• All SharePoint columns including external data columns

3. Select a view

The default view (as defined in SharePoint) of the selected library or list is shown.

Additional views are available in the drop-down picker.

4. Additional options

OnePlaceMail can be configured to show a default view specifically for OnePlaceMail, independent of the default view configured in SharePoint.

To achieve this, create a view named Content view in the document library or list.

This is useful when a specific default view is required in SharePoint for some users and a separate default view is needed when accessing the same library via OnePlaceMail.
