How to: show events on multiple SharePoint websites (e.g. your intranet, company news, etc.)

This article explains how to use the List view or Events web part from the SharePoint|sapiens Modern User Interface to show events on multiple SharePoint websites, such as your intranet, department sites, or hub sites.

The main focus of this article is sharing events across sites. However, the same web part can also be used to display other types of information managed by our apps, such as enrollments, courses, or achievements. This is explained in more detail later in the article.

Why is this useful?

Showing events across multiple SharePoint sites is especially useful in the following scenarios:

• You want to show events you manage on a separate SharePoint site on your central intranet.

• You manage all events in one central SharePoint site and display only relevant events on department‑specific sites.

• You use the Event Management or Employee Training Management app on multiple SharePoint sites and want to show all events from all sites on one central intranet or hub site.

• Different departments manage their own events, but employees should see all upcoming events in one place.

• Regional or local sites manage events independently, while a global intranet aggregates all events.

• You want to avoid duplicating events, update information only once, and ensure changes are reflected everywhere automatically.

Important: This web part is not limited to events

While this article focuses on showing events on other SharePoint sites, the List view web part is much more powerful. You can also use it to display entries from other lists managed by our apps, for example:

Enrollments

• My enrollments

• My enrollments into health and safety events

• Enrollments filtered by course type, category, or audience

Typical use case:

• Show “My upcoming enrollments” on a personal dashboard, intranet homepage, or learning portal.

Courses

• All self‑paced trainings

• Courses filtered by topic, department, or mandatory status

Typical use case:

• Display a central training catalog on the intranet, even if courses are managed on a dedicated training site.

Achievements

• My completed courses

• My completed safety courses

• Achievements filtered by category or certification type

Typical use case:

• Show employees their learning progress or completed trainings on a personal or departmental site.

The configuration principles described in this article (selecting a source site, list, and view) apply in the same way to these lists.

Prerequisites

To use the List view or Events web part on other SharePoint sites, make sure to add the SharePoint|sapiens Modern User Interface app to each site.

Add the web part to your SharePoint page

Once the app is installed:

1. Open the page where you want to show events.

2. Click Edit in the top‑right corner.

3. Select the section where the web part should appear.

4. Click the + icon.

5. Add the List view or Events web part (use the search bar if needed).

Configure the web part

After adding the web part, configure it as follows:

1. Select the source
   Choose Enter site.
2. Enter the site URL
   Enter the URL of the SharePoint site where your events (or other list entries) are managed.

7. Set the maximum number of items
   Define how many items should be shown.
   Users can load more by clicking Next.

Click Republish once you are done.

Result

• Better visibility of events, trainings, and learning progress
