  • ACE with a card view and multiple quick views to display the M365 (Unified) groups in a tenant – get inside view on building an ACE component with card view and multiple quick views to display M365 (Unified) groups in a tenant of which user is owner or member.  Card view button allows user to browse to groups.  Quick view shows group details with buttons to visit associated SharePoint/Teams site.  Used Basic, Image and Primary card templates.  Developed on SPFx v1.13.1

  • Viva Connections ACE as an input form for data and actions – use Quick View in an ACE to collect data. Using the Adaptive Cards JSON syntax/schema, you can request data, define rules to validate collected data, and define actions to submit data.  In the Quick View class, you handle the onAction method with custom actions, i.e., view, edit, save, submit, close.   Systematically create complex forms in Quick View with the Adaptive Card syntax.
