Installing QuickApps for SharePoint
Install QuickApps for SharePoint on one web front end server. Do not install the product on more than one server
in the farm.If you want to run the Configuration Editor on multiple servers, you must manually copy and paste
the ConfigurationEditor.exe and its related files from the server on which it was installed to your other servers.
The installer adds the QuickApps for SharePoint solution package file to the SharePoint store.
In some Operating Systems, the User Account Control (UAC) prevents the downloading of the install package. If
this is the case, run Setup.exe instead of launching the .MSI directly. In the case that the Setup.exe does not
work, run Setup.msi instead.
To install QuickApps for SharePoint
1 Double-click QuickApps for SharePoint.exe file, and extract the files.
The Autorun opens.
2 Select the Install button next to the version of QuickApps for SharePoint you are installing.
Figure 1. QuickApps for SharePoint Autorun
3Click Next.
4 Read and accept the license agreement. Click Next.
5 Select a destination folder to install QuickApps, and click Next.
6Click Install.
7 If you do not have a valid license, upload one. For more information, see Licensing QuickApps for
SharePoint on page 7. Select Next.
8 Select an option:
• Restore the status of the QuickApps for SharePoint - Web Parts Library Feature in your farm.
Choose this option if you are upgrading this product from a previous version and have backed up
and saved your feature status when you uninstalled the previous version.
• I do NOT want to deploy the solution package. I will use SharePoint Central Administration to
do so later. Choose this option if you want to schedule the deployment for a specific time or you
want to choose a subset of servers on which to install. If you choose this option, you must use

QuickApps for SharePoint® 6.9
Quick Start Guide 9
www.agreeya.com
To activate a site collection feature
1 Open the SharePoint site where QuickApps for SharePoint is deployed.
2Go to Site collection features.
3 Activate QuickApps for SharePoint for SharePoint - Web Parts Library or QuickApps for SharePoint for
SharePoint - My First App.
Activating Site Features
After installing QuickApps for SharePoint, you must activate the site feature.
To activate a site feature
1 Select the SharePoint site where QuickApps for SharePoint is deployed.
2Go to Manage site features.
3 Activate QuickApps for SharePoint - List Templates.
Managing Web Parts
By default, when you install QuickApps for SharePoint and activate the QuickApps for SharePoint - Web Parts
Library, Web Parts are added to the web part gallery making it available for site designers to use.
As the Farm Administrator, you can further refine which web parts will be available by using the SharePoint
Central Administration pages.
You can manage web parts by:
•Web Application
•Single Site Collection/Multiple Site Collections
If you make a change by any of these links, the change is made essentially to the site collection (for Web
Application, all site collections within the web are affected). The last change made will overwrite the previous
settings.
Web Application
This allows you to control what web parts become available to the selected SharePoint Web Application. If you
clear all the web parts check boxes, no web parts will be available to the specified SharePoint Web Application
and all its site collections and subsites. Even though the feature will still be displayed in the Site Feature list,
activating it will not bring these web parts available to the site designer.
To manage web parts by Web Application
•From SharePoint Central Administration, go to Manage Web Parts by Web application.
Single Site Collection/Multiple Site Collections
These allow you to manage web parts at the Web Application/Site Collection level. You will need to pick the
SharePoint Web Application first, and then pick a site collection. The display will show you what the current
available web parts are based on your license type and bundle. The checked web parts are the ones available to
the site designer.
To manage Web Parts by Single Site Collection or Multiple Site Collections
NOTE: Managing Web Parts by single site collection will display currently available web parts when you
display the page. This is because at the Web Application level or multiple site collections level, each site
collection may have different available and active web parts.

NOTE: If you are working from a server where QuickApps for SharePoint is not installed, the Configuration
Editor will not be available. You can copy the ConfigurationEditor.exe and its related files from the server
on which it was installed to your server to run the Configuration Editor.
NOTE: Many of the required modifications can be done automatically through the “QuickApps for
SharePoint - Configuration” feature accessible from the SharePoint Central Administration page. The
required web.config changes happen automatically during feature activation and the changes are
removed upon feature de-activation. This method does not support System Integration metadata
configuration and other advanced features available in the Configuration Editor tool. For more
information on the Configuration Editor, see the Configuration Editor User Guide.
NOTE: If the product is going to be installed in a server farm or web without using sticky session,
out-of-process state management will be needed. You must modify the <sessionState> element in
the Web.Config file to use either a StateServer or Microsoft® SQL Server.

Upgrading Custom Skins
This product uses web controls, which support the capability of "skinning". SharePoint 2010 uses the .NET
Framework version 3.5 of the DLL. SharePoint 2013 uses the .NET Framework version 4.0 of the DLL. SharePoint
2016 uses the .NET Framework version 4.5 of the DLL. If you are creating custom skins, you can add them to the
following folders:
•For SharePoint 2010:
•Telerik skins are located at %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\Telerik\Q32013SP1\Skins
•DevExpress skins are located at %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\DevExpress\9.3\Themes
•For SharePoint 2013:
•Telerik skins are located at %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\Telerik\Q32013SP1\Skins
•DevExpress skins are located at %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\DevExpress\9.3\Themes
•For SharePoint 2016:
•Telerik skins are located at %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\16\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\Telerik\Q32013SP1\Skins
•DevExpress skins are located at %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\16\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\DevExpress\9.3\Themes
With these skin files, you can change the appearance of the Web Controls used by the QuickApps for SharePoint
product.
If your custom skin files are not compatible with the skin files for the Telerik® ASP.NET AJAX Controls version Q3
2013SP1, you must do the following before upgrading.
To upgrade custom skins
1 Backup your custom skin files manually. Your custom skins can be under one of the following folders:
•$TELERIK_FOLDER\Q22007SP1\NET2\RadControls
•$TELERIK_FOLDER\Q22009\Skins
•$TELERIK_FOLDER\Q22010\Skins
2 After installing QuickApps for SharePoint 6.9, add your custom skins manually to
$TELERIK_FOLDER\Q32013SP1\Skins.
3 Test your custom skins. If they are not applied properly, you must recreate your custom skin files and
make them compatible with the Telerik controls installed in this version.
NOTE: For SharePoint 2010, your folders are located here: C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\Telerik. For
SharePoint 2013, your folders are located here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\Telerik. For SharePoint 2016,
your folders are located here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\16\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\Telerik.
NOTE: To create a new custom skin for Telerik RadControls, see
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/introduction-create-custom-skin.html. You can also
use the Sample Skin folder in the install directory as an example. For examples on creating custom
skin for RadEditor, see http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/editor-css-classes-and-their-
use.html. For changes and backward compatibility reference from Telerik, see
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/button-changes-and-back-compatibility.htm.

Viewing Log Files
If errors occur when using QuickApps for SharePoint, the details are logged to the SharePoint ULS log. The
easiest way to view these details is with a ULS log viewer.
To view log files
1 If not already done so, start SharePoint Tracing Service.
2 From SharePoint Central Administration, select Monitoring | Configure diagnostic logging.
3 In the Trace Log Levels section, select High.
4 Open your log viewer and filter your view by product (that is QuickApps for SharePoint).
You can view any error messages from QuickApps for SharePoint only.
Step-by-Step Walkthroughs
This section gives some step-by-step scenarios to help you use QuickApps for SharePoint effectively. You can
refer to our Knowledge Base at http://quickapps.agreeya.com/support.
NOTE: The Install-SPSolution cmdlet begins a timer job. Allow the timer job to finish before
executing any other steps. To see the status of the timer job, use the following cmdlet: Get-
SPTimerJob | ?{ $_.Name -like "*solution-deployment*Quick.Apps*" }
CAUTION: If you want to use the Microsoft ULS Log Viewer tool, it is available here. The ULSViewer
tool is an unsupported application, and Microsoft does not provide support for this tool. Use this
tool at your own risk. Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) cannot answer questions about the
ULSViewer tool.

Using the app created above, you will aggregate two lists into one view.
