Demos

• List Formatting magic - Tab and Percentage Chart – simple examples of formatting we can implement on a SharePoint page. Create tabs with associated content. Tabs sample allows you to add an icon or url to image displayed on each Tab. Percentage chart displays formatted chart row based on icon/emoji/svg and associated calculated numbers. Add new items to list in Property Pane on page. Edit dates and values alternatively on page or in list.
• Keep track of your activities with Microsoft Lists and Power Automate – create a custom list that captures notes and automatically highlights, groups and sorts by date, is flexible and easy to use, tracks information about activities as well as operations, and is Microsoft Teams ready. Keeps track of attachments (Power Automate) and can be customized further. Each list record has Title, writing box and a tool bar. Edit content in list or on page.
• Build your own Microsoft Teams using Microsoft Graph Toolkit and .NET Core API and Integrate using Web Components – why build your own version of Teams? Step through one business case and architecture. Uses a Graph Toolkit provider, mgt-get components, back-end implementation (.NET 5), Graph change subscription, SignalR implementation, client-side changes to get latest messages from Teams, and respond to all Graph calls (Proxy Provider). See demo of near instantaneous chat and notifications in the non-Teams app and Teams App side-by-side.
