Full house today.  Clearly we've outgrow this venue.   Great to see everybody.  See you again soon.   

 

Actions:

 

 

Demos:

  • At a Glance Web Part and Viva Adaptive Card Extension – this sample shows a web part and an ACE, that displays the first few sentences of a news article in a carousel on a SharePoint page (desktop or mobile) or in cards in a Viva Connections Dashboard (Card view with deep link to full article).  Control number sentences displayed and display actual, or curator summarized sentences.  Clean code to get articles, to extract sentences, to render.     

  • Share to Teams – SPFx Command Set Extension – from within SharePoint, this extension allows user to 1-click share site pages, files, folders, and list items directly to selected (from dropdown) channels or groups in Microsoft Teams.  A concise 6-step CodeTour familiarizes the viewer with the inner workings of this extension.  Use available scripts to create the Share-to-Teams button.     

  • SPFx Design Patterns - Property Panes – are web parts designed specifically to configure affiliated web parts.  Types of property panes and code reviewed in this demo include Single, Accordion (collapsible sections), and Steps (options presented shaped by previous selectins).  Ease of use is a primary design criterion.  When to use/not use a property panes is predicated on directness.  See property pane samples in the SPFx samples repository.
