This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection settings for this provider.


PropertyDescription
CalculatedDataTypeThe data type to be used for calculated fields. This property applies only to the SOAP schema.
ContinueOnErrorIndicates whether to continue updating items in a batch after an error.
CreateIDColumnsCreate supplemental ID columns for SharePoint columns that use values from information stored in other Lists. This property applies only to the SOAP schema.
DisableFilterLimitMicrosoft SharePoint natively supports listing up to 5000 records as they appear in your list filter. Use this property to pull more than 5000 records from the list filter at the cost of additional performance overhead. This property applies only to the REST schema.

MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties.
PagesizeSpecifies the maximum number of results to return from Microsoft SharePoint, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.
ReadonlyToggles read-only access to Microsoft SharePoint from the provider.
ShowHiddenColumnsBoolean determining if hidden columns should be shown or not. If false, all hidden columns will be removed from the column listing.
ShowPredefinedColumnsBoolean determining if predefined columns should be shown or not. If false, all columns derived from a base type will be removed from the column listing.

TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
UseDisplayNamesBoolean determining if the display names for the columns should be used instead of the API names.
UseEntityTypeNameBoolean determining if the list's EntityTypeName field should be used as the table name during metadata discovery instead of the Title field. This property applies only to the REST schema.
UseNTLMV1Determines whether the driver will attempt to connect with NTLMv1 or NTLMv2 (default).
