Adding Sharepoint List To Outlook

List

Re: Sharepoint contact list and Outlook 2016. Two things to check. In Outlook, click Address Book and from the drop-down menu, verify that you can see the SP-synced list. Apart from that, on the same dialog click Tools - Options, select Custom, check whether the SP-synced list is shown there and if not, use the Add button to add it, then confirm. Better management of email communication is a key issue for many organizations, a number of vendors have developed add-on software that improves the out-of-the-box integration of Outlook and SharePoint. All of these add-ons let you drag-and-drop in Outlook to save an email message to SharePoint, in most cases with automatic capture of email. The user can find all the ‘component’ calendar lists in the calendars in view section to the left of the overlaid master view in SharePoint. Our solution, so far, is for specific departments. Ultimately, there may be as many as 7 different sub-lists that need to be created. Specifically 'Connect to Outlook' - which can be used to add a shared SharePoint contact list into Outlook, e.g. For an organisation-wide easily accessible address book. AFAIK, the only fix is to switch back to classic view. Note: The Add SharePoint Sites to Project Web App dialog box lists only those sites that you can access in SharePoint. If the list you want to add is on a site you don’t have access to, contact an administrator for that site to request permissions.
