Sharepoint plugin - scenario trigger
Hi all,
I have the following case:
3 different files in sharepoint that have as filename title and timestamp. I have created connection with the Sharepoint and I have created the databases but I want to ask:
1)If there is a way DSS ignore the timestamp and create the dataset based only on the title?
2) Can I trigger a scenario to update the database in dss when the file in the sharepoint site gets updated?
Thank you!

Use a Files in Folder dataset where you can use glob/regex
If this doesn't suffice, you could use Python recipe to read from the folder.
Another option is to use a partitioned folder/dataset and sync the latest available if you just need the last file.https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/partitions/index.html
If the dataset is pointing to a path and new files is added it won't be detect you can use a folder instead of dataset that should detect any changes in that folders path.
Thanks

Hi @e_pap
,I am not sure I understand what you mean for (1). Could explain perhaps provide a screenshot of what you want to include?
2) You can use file modified trigger https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/scenarios/triggers.html#dataset-modification-triggers on Sharepoint files datasets. File modified on Sharepoint Lists datasets is not supported. -
Hi @AlexT
,Thank you for your response!
To clarify my first question, I have a scenario like this where the "Sample" part if always the same but the timestamp changes. Is there a way to connect with the files in sharepoint with a regex or something similar?
Regarding the second question I created a scenario like the below
but what I observed is that I had to go to the dataset I created from the sharepoint file and update the path in the settings tab to trigger the scenario. When I just dropping an updated file in the sharepoint site the scenario didn't seem to recognise the change. Maybe my configuration is not correct or I missed a step.
