Announcing PowerApps web part (preview) for SharePoint Online
We are pleased to announce the preview of the PowerApps web part for SharePoint Online. PowerApps is a service that lets you build business apps that run in a browser or on a phone or tablet, with no coding experience required. Once you have created or customized an app using the service, you can add it to your SharePoint page with the PowerApps web part. Getting started To get started, just add the PowerApps web part from the toolbox and then enter the app's URL or the ID in the property pane. You can grab the app's URL or the ID from your apps page in PowerApps. Web part features Below are some of the key benefits of using the PowerApps web part to embed your apps on a SharePoint page: The Web part automatically signs you into PowerApps. The Web part automatically scales the app to a best fit in the canvas. If you do not like the best fit, you can resize the app (up to the app's max size) using the resizer control. Yes, it works in your SharePoint mobile app. Release details We are releasing this web part as a preview, so we can gather feedback and monitor the app's performance. We expect the web part to start rolling out to our customers in Targeted Release in early May 2018. We are excited for you to start using the PowerApps web part and we would love to hear your feedback! Notes Adding the app on a page does not automatically give users permissions to use the app. Users must be granted access to view the app. To learn how to share apps with specific users or security groups, or with your entire organization, see Share an app in PowerApps. PowerApps are designed to work best with fixed sizes. For page layout purposes, apps that use a portrait orientation usually fit well in a one-third or three-column layout. Apps that use a landscape orientation usually fit well in a one-column layout. The PowerApps web part (preview) for SharePoint Online does not yet support screen readers or keyboard navigation.
Will Modern Pages ever allow "Web Part Connections" (to link related lists)? How about "Filters"?
One of the most powerful and, frankly, underused features in SharePoint (2010 and 2013) was the concept or practice of "connecting" related web parts. We used it ALL the time for things like: A list of Vendors connected to lists of Quotes or Invoices A list of Requests connected to a list of related Log Entries (each step in the request process generates a Log entry) Also, it was helpful for creating "template" pages. For example, we would have a Query String Filter that connected to a bunch of lists on the page, each of which had a common column (e.g.: "Term"). So, when creating a course catalog, we didn't have to build a new page for each term, just use that template page with the right query string in the URL. As slick as the Modern Page experience looks and feels, it seems like they're driving toward the model of creating tons of separate pages rather than a few reusable ones. While creating these pages is easier in the Modern Experience, enforcing consistency between them is pretty much impossible (that's where the idea of a template page really shone). So, since I can't find any chatter about these features/functions whatsoever, I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone else had seen or heard anything. Heck, maybe even someone from the mothership (calling Mark-Kashman or Jeff_Teper) could chime in and let me know if I should just give up hope on ever using Connections or Filter web parts on Modern Pages.Announcing PowerApps web part (preview) general availability
We are happy to announce that we will be starting to roll out the PowerApps web part (preview) to all tenants worldwide today! It has been a great journey so far with lots of learning along the way. We have just started the rollout, so your tenant should see it as we rollout gradually for all tenants. Please be aware that it might take few days for the web part to be available in your tenants. As a bonus, the web part now allows you to show a border around the app to make it more seamless on the page. Please let us know any feedback or suggestion you have. We did get a lot of feedback with the Targeted Release especially around the ability to embed custom forms and passing parameters to the app. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to work on our backlog. Meanwhile, let us know how you are using the web part, what you like and not like.
List Web Part Expand/Collapse View Broken on Modern Site Page
When attempting to display a list view on a SharePoint Online Modern Site Page for FAQ questions and answers the Answer field (multiple lines of text) is not displaying the values. In the examples below all question and answer fields have values and should display. In the actual list itself the same view shows both the Answer and Question values just as expected. Answer Field = Required (List Web Part) When I have the Answer field set as required (no matter if it is Plain, Rich, or Enhanced Rich text) it shows that required info is missing even though all the Answer fields have values in them. Using the List View Web Part I see the following: If I click the heading, "Question: Question #1 here? (1)" in the list view web part I then see the value for the Answer: Answer Field = Not Required (List Web Part) When I have the Answer field set as not required (no matter if it is Plain, Rich, or Enhanced Rich text) it shows no value even though all the Answer fields have values in them. Using the List View Web Part I see the following: If I click the heading, "Question: Question #1 here? (1)" in the list view web part I then see the value for the Answer:
How to disable Advanced web parts?
Hi all, in Teams I can disable all the apps I don't want my users to use. But is this possible in SharePoint as well? For example in the web part overview I find a lot of third party stuff I only found something for three of the web parts using powershell and the web part ID but this is not working for all of the 3rd party web parts. Thanks alot for some hints 🙂
Column Formatting in List View Web Part
I have created a Site Page, where I added a List View Web Part with reference to a list which has JSON-conditional formatting in it. For myself the conditional formatting works (doesn't exactly looks the same but hey, at least I see the colors.), but other coworkers don't see the formatting at all. Those coworkers have the same (or even higher) permissions to the site page and the lists themself, so rights should not be the issue. Does this feature for you guys work and if yes, whats your setup (rights) etc. If my coworkers go to the list them self they see the formatting.
Can't remove canceled meetings from group calendar
I have created a new group SP site via teams. On the home page, I have the group calendar web part displayed. I have entered a couple of meetings and cancelled them to test. In the calendar the meetings have been cancelled and are no longer showing. On the web part however, it shows all the cancelled meetings. How do I remove these from the web part?
