12/7/2021 09:50 		Dear, I tried to pass the URL parameter from a AETiles Image (with the URL) to a new Page that includes the AETiles Single List Item, and I get a message « Item not found! ».
Can you help how to get the parameter in the Single List Item, in order to retrieve the parameter as described in your page?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Regards,
Sébastien

please enter the URL of the target Tiles web part that contains the dynamic „Single List Item” into the “Image” tile’s “URL” setting as eg:

https://somedomain/SitePages/SomePage.aspx?customer=1

This opens the target page, transmitting the “customer” URL parameter with a value of “1” in the above example.

The “Single List Item” tile now needs to point to the Sharepoint list that contains the data to be displayed as follows:

https://somedomain/Lists/Customers/AllItems.aspx?ID={customer}
