Actions:

 

Demos:

  • Building Emoji Rating Web Part with SharePoint Framework – a simple way for employees to give feedback on internal communications (news/article/post) and for managers to view sentiment in report.  Web part uses star-based rating system, captures text comments, stores ratings in SharePoint list, and aligns data to page name.  Configurations – link to list, background colors, ratings text, emoji images, enable/disable comments and count.  Use flow to add web part to page at creation.    

  • Introduction to Adaptive Card Extensions (ACEs) for Microsoft Viva Connections – working with State and Properties in ACEs – includes managing interfaces for Properties (Property pane or code) and State (code) used by CardView and QuickViews.  The basic property pane is generated by the SPFx scaffolding tool.  Learn about building functions into ACE component and exposing the functions to your ACEs cards.   See how State is updated only for the active component, if 2 components displayed. 

  • SharePoint Framework Design Patterns – Custom Web Part Properties (Part 3) – regarding web part properties and property panes, having a configurable property pane allows you to go from a single-use to a multi-use component with many variations while using same code!  The Quick links web part for example can look very different by changing layout properties - just rendering differences.   Demo focuses on modifications to the getPropertyPaneConfiguration( ) method that contains pages, groups and fields.
