ShortPoint SPFx - Missing / Deleted ShortPoint Dashboard from Site Contents

Issue

This article is for you if you have accidentally deleted ShortPoint Dashboard or you don't see ShortPoint SPFx - Install Now! link in your site content.

Solution

Step 1: Make sure scripting capabilities are enabled on your site

Yes, it is required to have scripting capabilities enabled for making the list templates link available to your site settings. Please follow Enabling scripting capabilities (SPFx) in Office 365 article to do so.

NOTEStarting March 2024, Microsoft will remove the ability to enable scripting capabilities in the SharePoint admin center. 


However, users can still enable this option through PowerShell for SharePoint 2019 users and until November 2024 for SharePoint Microsoft 365. 

ShortPoint will no longer work for classic pages in SharePoint Microsoft 365 after November 2024. Check out our article on ShortPoint Microsoft 365 Classic Pages Deprecation: Transforming Classic Pages to Modern Pages for more information

Step 2: Navigate to List Templates gallery and upload the ShortPoint Dashboard.stp file there

Please download a copy of the ShortPoint Dashboard list and upload to list templates gallery as shown below:

Step 3: Create new library in site content

Now since the list template is ready to use, lets create a new library / app from site content:

NOTEIf you are getting an error saying "list with title ShortPoint Dashboard already exist", you can create a list with another name (for ex. ShortPoint SPFx Dashboard). It is absolutely fine to create the app with another name.

That's it! Thank you for your attention!
