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,
S�bastien

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}
