- Taking inspiration from the Get Onboard and Company Pulse PowerApps, this clip shows a way to build an app to help with onboarding new employees into your team or organisation.
I absolutely love the video. could you please make a video tutorial on how you made the app from scratch ? or did you use a particular template
Is this template available?
Great looking app! Do you have a template that we could use and modify?
One of the finest PowerApps I've ever seen from a UI perspective. With so many data feeds (managers, phone, email, news, etc.), how self sufficient is the app? Basically, how much manual intervention is required when someone moves positions, etc?
Thank you very much for sharing!
Hey Eric - thanks for the feedback - beauty of using the o365 connectors is that as long as your organisation is updating AD and its syncing to Azure AD, then if a new manager took a role, then on app load the app would refresh its datasource and the new manager would display- its as simple as that! Thats the cool thing about PowerApps and o365 connectors - we are just visualising data that is already there. All the other feeds are self sufficient - just needs a method to put an new employee in a SP list with their start date for this app - but again there is potential to make this even more autonomous. Hope that answers your question!
Sweet. You've touched a lot of apps there; Yammer, Sharepoint List, SP News Feed, AAD, etc. Way to go! I keep hearing MS Graph proclaim itself as the API for O365... wonder how that will change things in PowerApps if at all. Seems like the existing connectors are already API wrappers built for us!
Well in the app - the connectors to get the logged in user, their manager and their peers all use the office graph by default - so pretty much already there :)
I see. "Graph" in this case refers to the "O365 Users" connector in general, correct? I don't see "Graph" as listed as a connector type in PowerApps otherwise. Wondering if I'm missing it. Thanks again!
Eric Thomas - yep - check out this link for a summary of actions you can use - docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/office365users/
Do you have a template for this? I love it!
Hi Hallie - I built this app in a previous role, and it is owned by them - so I cant really share it. Sorry
How did you make the Incomplete to Complete Function?
Hi Jawad - I posted that clip about 3yrs back - so I might need to rewatch to jog my memory! can you give me a little more detail for what you are trying to do? Thanks!
@@Richie1902 Thank you so much for your response. If you notice at 3:25 you Clicked "Mark as Complete" and the item on the left changed from Not Started to Completed. I am aware that you can use the Patch function to update the item in Sharepoint List, but, how did you manage to update the items on the left to change the text from Not Started to Complete?
@@jawad172007 - thanks for referencing this a bit more. For this app I'm using a gallery of items on the left side of the screen - showing rows that match this employees' tasks, and on the left we have a form that is linked to the same data source as the gallery, but has an item property of gal_tasks.selected. When you click the gallery row the form updates to show the sharepoint item.
On clicking the marked as complete button in the form the patch of that item occurs, the data source is then updated and then the gallery will either auto update OR you could refresh it - just need to be careful with refresh as that can slow down your app.
PowerApps lets you mash up your screens to show all sorts of data views - so I hope this answer helps!
