Access Services
Following access
features are available when we deploy SharePoint Server 2016.
- Support for Apps is added in Office. Apps in Office are custom add-ons which can be plugged into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook and in SharePoint.
- We can now use app for Office to integrate data from outside services into your Access app. It can also display data in your Access App visually, such as on a map, in a chart, or in a graph.
- We can now also upgrade an Access App.
How to upgrade:
Create
an Access web page, and save the web page as a package which users are using it
and make design changes to a separate copy of the web app that users are not
using it. When you are satisfied with your changes, you can save a new version
of the web app and then upgrade the “production version” of the web app
that users are using.
Important: Access web app upgrades are available only
for web apps that are on Office 365 or SharePoint Online Sites. You also need
to have an Access 2013 with Service Pack1 installed or higher version, so that
you will be able to save Web app packages for upgrade. Access web app upgrade
does not work with Desktop version of Access.
- A new feature “Download in Excel” is now available with Access 2013 with Office 365. This feature is only available to the users who are using or working with Office 365.
- Related Item Control has been improved. Now we can perform the following functions given below:
- On the related Item control, we can choose from an existing view for the dialog box.
- We can now turn off the Add Link given at the bottom of the Related Item control
