Demos delivered in this session
Remote Event Receiver Manager solution in SPFx for managing list events –
A very simple web part that lets users view, add and delete remote event receivers in lists. Review what is a Remote Event Receiver, Strengths and Weaknesses, and when/not to consider using Power Automate to accomplish task. Use the sample to quickly identify Event Receivers in lists across a tenant without having to connect to PowerShell or go to a REST API.
Preview on list formatting demo site template – as an alternative to going to GitHub to pull samples, the Community team is experimenting with an additional layout option – List Formatting Sample Showcase pages that display fully functional samples Power Users can manipulate, drill in to view/customize data, and get additional details in GitHub – from within a browser! You may even adopt this formatting in your own tenant. Available soon.
Getting started on using Time Clock Microsoft Graph APIs to clock in and out of a shift – the time tracking component (Time Clock APIs) in the Teams Shifts Application provides clock in / out, timesheet edit and more capabilities that auto-syncs to Payroll / T&A apps like Cronos, Workday, ADP, Ceridian SAP. Call the APIs to integrate with your customer’s payroll and T&A systems using Time Clock APIs (beta). Supports CRUD operations and WebHooks. Request handling guidance in the documentation.
Thank you for your work. Samples are often showcased in Demos.
