A class that provides methods for managing the SharePoint analytics signal store, inheriting from Entity base class.

Purpose

SignalStore is a specialized entity class designed to interact with Microsoft SharePoint's Search Analytics Signal Store. It serves as a client-side representation of the server-side SignalStore resource, enabling management and interaction with analytics signals in SharePoint. The class follows the Office365 REST API pattern for entity management, providing a typed interface to the underlying SharePoint analytics infrastructure.

Source Code

class SignalStore(Entity):
    """Provides methods for managing the analytics signal store."""

    def __init__(self, context, resource_path):
        if resource_path is None:
            resource_path = ResourcePath(
                "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Analytics.SignalStore"
            )
        super(SignalStore, self).__init__(context, resource_path)

    @property
    def entity_type_name(self):
        return "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Analytics.SignalStore"

Parameters

Parameter Details

context: The client context object that manages the connection to SharePoint and handles authentication, request execution, and response processing. This is typically an instance of ClientContext that maintains the session state and provides methods for communicating with the SharePoint server.

resource_path: Optional ResourcePath object that specifies the location of the SignalStore resource in the SharePoint API hierarchy. If None is provided, a default ResourcePath is created pointing to 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Analytics.SignalStore'. This path is used to construct API endpoints for operations on the signal store.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a SignalStore object that represents a connection to the SharePoint analytics signal store. The object inherits all methods and properties from the Entity base class, providing capabilities for CRUD operations, property management, and server communication. The entity_type_name property returns the string 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Analytics.SignalStore' which identifies the server-side type.

Required Imports

from office365.sharepoint.search.analytics.signal_store import SignalStore
from office365.runtime.paths.resource_path import ResourcePath
from office365.sharepoint.entity import Entity

Usage Example

from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.search.analytics.signal_store import SignalStore
from office365.runtime.paths.resource_path import ResourcePath

# Authenticate and create context
ctx = ClientContext('https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite').with_credentials(
    UserCredential('username@domain.com', 'password')
)

# Create SignalStore instance with default resource path
signal_store = SignalStore(ctx, None)

# Or create with custom resource path
custom_path = ResourcePath('Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Analytics.SignalStore')
signal_store = SignalStore(ctx, custom_path)

# Access entity type name
print(signal_store.entity_type_name)
# Output: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Analytics.SignalStore

# The SignalStore inherits Entity methods for server operations
# signal_store.execute_query() would execute pending requests

Best Practices

• Always provide a valid ClientContext instance that is properly authenticated before instantiating SignalStore
• Use the default resource_path (None) unless you have a specific need to customize the API endpoint path
• The SignalStore instance maintains state through its parent Entity class, so reuse the same instance for multiple operations within a session
• Call execute_query() on the context after performing operations to commit changes to the server
• Handle authentication errors and network exceptions when working with SharePoint resources
• Ensure the authenticated user has appropriate permissions for Search Analytics operations
• The entity_type_name property is primarily used internally by the Office365 library for type resolution and should not typically be modified
• SignalStore follows the lazy loading pattern common in Office365 entities - properties may not be populated until explicitly loaded or queried
