Daily update on SharePoint intranet
I am currently upgrading from a wordpress intranet to SharePoint. A feature we currently have on intranet is a daily update of who is on leave (shown in image below). The receptionist currently posts...
Definitively with a Microsoft Forms form + Powr automate you could implement this
- Can you give me any idea how I can do it? None of the information i can find online does what I need it to do. Everything tries to make a Sharepoint list but this is not what i need as each day it needs to be a completely new list, not add to one.
tlw010779 are you absolutely sure it needs to be a new list? You'll end up with a huge number of lists, one for every day, each with just one item. Then you'll have to edit the page every day to point the list web part to the new list. It would be more efficient to add the items to a single list, filtered by today's date, and have a view of the list formatted with JSON so it looks the same as your image. A bit like what we do with the message of the day on our intranet which is submitted by one of the team from a Microsoft Forms form, picked up by a flow and saved into a list.
Come back with questions or if you need a detailed how-to.

Intranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)- Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply. I don't know how to do what I need but everything I saw online pointed to lists but I didn't think that was quite right. I like what you have in your image. Is that submitted through a form and then displayed on the intranet? If so, that seems perfect for what I need. I would appreciate it if you could help me with how you do it.
Thanks
Natasha
