Ever felt like the world of Microsoft 365 is a maze? You’re not alone! In this session, we’ll take a journey together through real-life examples where we’ve turned the complexity of Microsoft 365 into simple, automated solutions. We’ll start from the basics, exploring out-of-the-box and low-code options, and gradually move towards creating custom self-hosted solutions. Extending Microsoft 365 is not limited to just creating web parts and by the end of this session, you’ll be inspired to see how you can make Microsoft 365 work for you in ways you’ve never imagined before. So, whether you’re a beginner or have some experience under your belt, join me as I unravel the exciting possibilities of extending Microsoft 365!

When programming with ReactJS, which is a common choice when developing using the SharePoint Framework, how you architect your components can often be confusing. This introductory session will walk through designing your components to mirror a common design principle called "Atomic Design" which was invented by web designer Brad Frost. This design pattern breaks web design into small chunks that when combined build beautiful solutions with reusability at its core. We'll go into how to translate that design principle into component development which can help reduce code size, improve reliability and quality, and just make your life easier. As part of our examples, we'll be leveraging the HTWOO community built Fluent UI framework.

Your intranet is the entry point to all your company tools and resources. This can be anything from an external website or solution, a custom application, etc. How to centralize all these different tools and applications is one of the most common questions Sympraxis Consulting gets from clients. Typically, organizations will manually add links to these resources using various web parts across many sites. There is no way out of the box to search your environment for these links. This introduces individual management of enterprise resources, which can cause challenges when there are company changes. For example, if your company uses Workday for their finances but then decides to switch to Oracle, you’ll have to manually adjust all the different links to Workday within your intranet. If all those links are centralized it is scalable and much easier to manage as the owner of that link can instead edit in one place and have it reflected everywhere.   In this session, we'll take a holistic view of the technology through the lens of the Maturity Model for Microsoft 365 and gain an understanding of current state vs. desired state can help organizations in these important ways:   - Define current state and limitations with out of the box web parts - Understand and compare options for solving your organizations quick links issues through extension - Identify the pros and cons of each approach

Mature organizations that use the Microsoft 365 often need to run custom workflows when users update files and list items in SharePoint Online. When there's only a single list or library, it makes sense to use a tool like Power Automate or an Azure Logic Apps. However, these tools require connecting a workflow to each list or library, making these solutions difficult to manage when there are many lists and libraries in many sites. Enter stage left: SharePoint Webhooks. To be clear, webhooks are not a power user tool; they require the ability to architect and manage cloud resources and write enterprise level code. But the benefits and scalability make it well worth the time investment! In this session you'll learn about: • What webhooks are and what are some of the common use cases they can help solve • What common architectural pattern for managing your subscriptions and events looks like • What cloud services are commonly used to support the common architecture • What boilerplate code looks like to establish and manage subscriptions and react to event notifications • Where and how you might implement custom handlers for establishing what subscriptions are needed and what happens when an event is fired. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to manage file and list workflows at scale to reduce risk and simplify management!

This session will delve into the integration of the SharePoint Framework with web standard packages to create robust, reusable components. Attendees will see how to build end to end solution, starting with building a library with standard web-based building blocks. We'll use Azure Dev Ops (but you could use GitHub, NPMJS, Jfrog, etc) to provide a private code artifacts (aka packages). We'll then consume that library and others together within a SharePoint framework solution while hosting the artifacts in an Azure CDN (or bundling it in if that's more appropriate). This is powerful reusability that allow you to manage the lifecycle of different components in a way that mimics all the other packages you might consume when building your solution.
