SharePoint Widgets

 Hi Friends, Today I will be showing a simple dashboard, which displays the current status of the applications in development. This dashboard is mostly effective in quick review meetings or when presenting the application status to higher management. Below is how the dashboard will look like This is a very simple view but thought sometimes a simple view is much better to present rather than some complicated views. You can find the JSON here (on GitHub) Columns Needed: Title (Renamed as Application Name) Status    Hope this view will help you. Happy Coding..!! #Microsoft #SharePointWidgets #ListViewFormatting

  In SharePoint Online one of the most missed features from the legacy system is the ability to create discussion forums. Since we do not have the OOB functionality, but we still can achieve it using the OOB features. In this post, I will show you how you can create the discussion forums using OOB features and with a more attractive UI.  Let's start and set up the discussion Forum. STEP 1: Create necessary columns in Site Pages Library To Achieve the functionality, I have made use of the "Site Pages" Library as it gives you the OOB ability to comment and like on the page. In order to make it fully usable, we will create a column  PageType: This will tell us whether the page created is a discussion or the page Values: Page, Discussion STEP 2: Create Custom View Create a View (in my case I have created the view by the name Discussion), ...

Hi Friends, I have seen that in on-prem many of the users are using the discussion feature, but in SharePoint Online we do not have this feature. To give it a thought I have implemented somewhat similar functionality. Discussion board formatting gives the ability to showcase the discussion which is a page, under specific category which will make more sense to the discussion board. So, whatever category you want to create, create the folder for that and the corresponding pages beneath it. This discussion board formatted displays the banner image (not the thumbnail image) and showcases it in the front along with the title, description, Likes, Comments, Date of last edit, and the owner of the page(not the author). No new column needs to be created only the existing column needs to be added to the view. For that execute the below PnP code # If want to modify the existing view Set-PnPView   - List  " Site Pages "   - Identity  " ...

Hi friends, Microsoft has changed the SharePoint drastically and now we do not need to write the custom solution for every need and take a toll on the performance. List view formatted is very powerful and I think it solves a lot of problems where we need to write the custom code and there is the least performance hit as well. Today I have worked upon the "Issue Tracking List" - list view row formatted. You can find the JSON file here Features Simple view Large view dedicated to the comments section, so once can read all the comments against the issue in a single view without even opening the item A lot of filters, clicking on the below columns filters the list upon that value. So one not need to create multiple views Happy Coding !! #Microsoft #SharePointWidgets

Hi Friends, Today I will talk about the most useful VS Code extensions, that will help in the productivity of specifically SharePoint Framework projects. As a developer, we waste a lot of time in the tasks that could be done easily via extensions support or shortcut keys. In this blog post, I will discuss some of these extensions that will increase the productivity and the style of your code. With an increase in productivity, the styling also holds an important value as it makes the code more readable and understandable which increases the focus time. So let's dive then !!
