Tag: How to configure Quick Add

Quick Add provides a simple way to add items to almost any list through new options in SharePoint list ribbons and menus, or through a web part that can be placed on any page and then associated with a specific list.

Step 1: Activate the feature

When Quick Add is installed, there are a couple of things you need to do before users can begin using the product.

The first thing to do is activate the feature. You do this under Site Settings | Manage site features.

When the page opens, look for the Bamboo Quick Add option and click the Activate option activate it.

Step 2: Configure the options

The next step after you have activated Quick Add, is to go to the Bamboo Site Settings option to configure the options.

For detailed information about configuring the options, follow the instructions for Bamboo Quick Add Settings.

The Bamboo Quick Add List Ribbon Button is a feature that can be Activated/Deactivated at the Site level; you can find it under Site settings > Manage Site Features > Bamboo Quick Add.

The Site Settings allow an administrator to set the number of items that can be created at one time using Quick Add, as well as view version information for the product. A maximum number of items per Quick Add attempt can be set, or an “unlimited” number of items can be allowed.

NOTE: There may be performance impacts if an extremely large number of Quick Add item creations are attempted at one time.

The Site Settings for Quick Add can be found under Site Settings > Bamboo Settings > Bamboo Quick Add Settings.

The Bamboo Quick Add Settings page is found under your site collection Settings|Bamboo Settings option after you have activated the site feature. For more information about how to do that, see the information contained within the Overview of QuickAdd Configuration Toolpane.
