# Create a Microsoft SharePoint Unstructured (Documents) Data Lake Object

Create an Unstructured Data Lake Object (UDLO) in Data 360 to ingest your organization’s content from Microsoft SharePoint into Data 360.

The data stream ingests data from your selected repositories into a UDLO and maps it to an Unstructured Data Map Object (UDMO). Data 360 uses the UDMO to create a search index and uses it to ground AI-generated responses.

See the [Unstructured Data File Formats and Connectors](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_unstructured_data_connect.htm&type=5) for a list of supported file formats.

| User Permissions Needed       |                      |
| :---------------------------- | :------------------- |
| To connect unstructured data: | Data Cloud Architect |

Before you begin:

- Set up a [Microsoft SharePoint Unstructured connection](/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-set-up-microsoftsharepoint-unstructured-connection.html).
- Verify you have the Microsoft SharePoint [Site ID](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-microsoftsharepoint-unstructured-cred.html#locate-your-sharepoint-site-id).

1. From the **App Launcher**, select **Data Cloud**.
2. Click **Data Lake Objects** and then click **New**.
3. Select the **From External Files** tile, and click **Next**.
4. From the New Data Lake Object screen, select the **Microsoft SharePoint Unstructured Data (Documents)** tile and click **Next**.
5. From the **Select connection** dropdown list, choose available connections. Data 360 auto-populates the source based on the connection that you select.
6. Add the [SharePoint Site ID](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-microsoftsharepoint-unstructured-cred.html#locate-your-sharepoint-site-id) that you collected earlier.
7. Click **Next**.
8. Add an **Object Name** and an **Object API Name** for the UDLO. See [Data Lake Object Naming Standards](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_lake_object_naming.htm&type=5). The object API name must be unique, and the field autopopulates based on the object name.
9. From the Data Space dropdown list, select a data space in which to create the new unstructured data model object (UDMO) or a data space from which to select an existing UDMO.
10. Map the UDLO to a UDMO.
    - To create a new UDMO, click **New**.
    - To use an existing UDMO, click **Existing**, and select a UDMO from the list.
11. Add an **Object Name** and an **Object API Name** for the UDMO Mapping. See [Data Lake Object Naming Standards](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_lake_object_naming.htm&type=5). The object API name must be unique, and the field autopopulates based on the object name.
12. Click **Next**.
13. In the Search Index Configuration section, leave the checkbox selected to **Enable Semantic Search with System Defaults**. The system default settings automatically select text fields and apply a chunking strategy for each field. Deselect the checkbox to create a search index configuration later.
14. Select the checkbox to enable [Content Harmonization](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_harmonize_content_for_consistent_viewing.htm) for the UDLO. Leave it deselected to enable content harmonization later.

    **note:** If you enable content harmonization now, AI Enrichments (Summary and Q&A) are disabled by default. To enable AI Enrichments, create a [Harmonization Configuration](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_unstructured_content_harmonization.htm) **and** enable [Einstein](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_enable.htm).

    **note:** When you enable content harmonization, you enable collection of [Content Viewer engagement data](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_content_viewer_user_engagement_insights.htm&type=5).

15. Click **Next**, or if you created a search index configuration, review the details.
16. Leave the remaining fields as-is to use the default settings, or rename and change the Search Configuration details and objects to make changes.
17. **Save** your work.

The connector begins to ingest your content. The ingestion process takes several minutes and the length of time depends on the size and number of the Microsoft SharePoint assets you’re ingesting. See the [Monitoring](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_monitor_the_status_of_unstructured_connectors_data_ingestion.htm&type=5) guide for checking the ingestion progress.
