kalmstrom.com Tools
This page is under development. Here we will build a new
kalmstrom.com section for tools that we use to manage SharePoint
and other Microsoft platforms in an efficient and consistent
way.
You are welcome to use these tools without any cost with
the help of the video demonstrations and instructions supplied.
Should you need assistance, please refer to the kalmstrom.com
Services section.
SharePoint list generator
The
first tool we will release publicly is a PnP generator for
SharePoint lists.
In my Tips articles and demos, I
recommend doing things the right way. You should for example
consider:
- creating a content type before creating the list
- making sure all the site columns have good internal
names
- enabling version history
In my work as a consultant, I also often recommend creating
all SharePoint objects using PowerShell.
However, it is often both faster and easier to do it in
the wrong way, to just quickly add a list and then add list
columns to it. Problems arise when this list needs to be
moved, re-used or searched.
Thus I wanted to make a tool that make it easy to do things
right from the start. The PnP
Generator Tool allows you to specify your input, and
then the tool generates all the PowerShell needed to set
it up in SharePoint.
The PnP Generator Tool works with SharePoint Online and
SharePoint 2013, 2016 och 2019.
Please follow the video links on the generator page, to
see more about what exactly the tool does.
