There is now a new document card view to display extracted model information (metadata) in a tile view in libraries that have a SharePoint Syntex document understanding model (DUM) applied. When a document understanding model is applied from a Syntex Content Center to a new library there are now three options (under advanced settings) to choose the default view of the library. Users do not have to choose to have this new document card view as their default view but it looks very good!

Recently Microsoft have provided two pre-built & pre-trained models for invoices and receipts to use with invoices and receipts in your organisation. These form processing models cater for invoices and receipts that are typically common organisational documents that every organisation will likely deal with. The models have been pre-trained to extract common invoice/receipt fields. The idea is you can install these pre-built models directly from a Syntex content centre. You can then add your own invoices/receipts for the model to analyse and it will pick out common fields and setup extractors for them. You can then modify the model to select the fields to extract rather than starting from scratch.

Yesterday was exciting day for SharePoint Syntex as Content Assembly (aka Modern Mail Merge) finally came to my tenant and I was able to test it out. Content Assembly allows licenced Syntex users to from a document library to convert existing documents into templates and then generate new documents from a SharePoint list or by entering the data manually.

Over the past year Microsoft have released Sites.Selected permissions for both Microsoft Graph & SharePoint which can be given to an Azure AD App (App Registration). When created the app by default with Sites.Selected permissions does not have access to any SharePoint sites and has to be explicitly added added using Microsoft Graph or PnP PowerShell (Grant-PnPAzureADAppSitePermission) to the site(s) to be administered. Both processes only give the access Read or Write permissions to the site and not Full Control.
