Microsoft SharePoint Online sources in mappings

To read data from Microsoft SharePoint Online, configure a Microsoft SharePoint Online object as the Source transformation in a mapping.

Specify the name and description of the Microsoft SharePoint Online source. The following table describes the properties that you can configure for a Microsoft SharePoint Online source:

Property	Description
Connection	Name of the active source connection.
Source Type	Type of the Microsoft SharePoint Online source object.
Object	Name of the source object for the mapping.
Filter	This property doesn't apply for the Source transformation.
Sort	This property doesn't apply for the Source transformation.

Property	Description
Indirect File Path	The file path of the folder that you want to download from Microsoft SharePoint Online. For more information, see the Download files Knowledge Base article.
Preserve Directory Structure	Determines whether you want to retain the folder structure as that of Sharepoint Online when you download the files. If you select this option, the folder structure is retained when the Secure Agent downloads the files from SharePoint Online. If you do not want to retain the folder structure of the file, do not select this option. Default is not selected.

Note: When you configure a read operation to download attachments from the SharePoint Online source object, you cannot exceed the maximum limit of 200 attachments for each source object. The average size of the folder that contains all the attachments cannot exceed 5 GB.
