SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a business process into a working SharePoint solution requires coordinating lists, libraries, approvals, workflows, seed data, and dashboards while respecting SharePoint permissions and schema constraints. This Skill guides the AI through that entire lifecycle with discovery-first, validated steps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Solution architecture and data modeling: Decompose a business process into primary records, child lists, reference data, rules, audit logs, and document libraries with correct field types and settings. - Automation setup: Configure native approvals, event-driven workflows, Quick Steps, and rules with verified triggers, conditions, and notification bodies. - Demo data and live dashboards: Seed coherent, cross-list demo records and build live HTML dashboards backed by SharePoint lists using LiveData helpers. - Use Case: Ask the AI to turn a procurement approval process into a SharePoint solution; it discovers existing artifacts, creates the lists and approval workflow, seeds realistic demo data, and delivers a live KPI dashboard. ## Quick Start Ask Copilot in SharePoint to build a SharePoint business solution for your process, including the lists, approval workflow, demo data, and a live HTML dashboard.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a SharePoint business application with Copilot?▼

Describe your business process, target site, and reporting needs, then invoke this skill. It discovers existing lists, designs a reusable data model, creates lists and libraries, configures approvals or workflows, and can seed demo data and build a live HTML dashboard.

How to create a live HTML dashboard from SharePoint lists?▼

The skill inspects source list schemas, maps KPIs to verified fields, and uses execute_code with LiveData.html helpers so the dashboard reloads live list data when viewed. The HTML file is saved to a document library with create_file and verified before delivery.

Can a SharePoint HTML dashboard hide list permissions from users?▼

No. A static HTML file cannot hide underlying list permissions, store credentials safely, or act as an app-only service. For a true application-only experience, the skill recommends Power Apps, SPFx, or a secured API/middleware layer with app-only permissions.

When should I use native SharePoint approvals versus workflows?▼

Use native Approvals for approve/reject decisions and workflows for automatic, conditional, recurring, cross-service, or multi-stage behavior. Quick Steps fit manual selected-item actions, and rules are used only when explicitly requested or when a verified workflow gap requires them.

Why does SharePoint demo data seeding fail or create duplicates?▼

Seeding can time out because human review limits batch sizes, so the skill creates small per-list batches. On timeout it inspects item counts before retrying rather than assuming success, and it reports created counts and failures for every list.
