Version 1.7
Here you can find the changes included in this release.
Advanced Search
The hand lens has been moved inside the search bar.
Bulletin Boards
Our latest release includes the possibility of adding an approval flow whereby advertisements are published on the notice board only after an approver has checked and approved them. In order to add this flow, two actions are required:
Implement the flow manually with Power Automate;
Activate the Enabling approval? option while configuring the web part, so that it supports the approval flow.
When the Enabling approval? option is activated, the following fields appear:
Select users or approver group: the Azure AD group including the approvers must be entered in this field.
Enter the text to be shown as a disclaimer: thanks to this field, it is possible to customize the text shown as a disclaimer. This text informs the user that the post will be published after being approved. If this field is left blank, the default text will be used, which is "The announcement will be visible after the approval".
Besides, four fields have been added to the Notice Board Posts list to save information on the approval flow:
Approval date;
Approver;
Approvers emails;
Status.
Thanks to a new web part property, it is now possible to set the maximum number of pictures the user can upload when creating a post. The minimum value is 0, while the maximum value is 5.
NB: Selecting 0 means deactivating this feature. In this case, users won't have the possibility of uploading photos. If you change the maximum number of photos from 1-5 to 0, any pictures users may have attached to posts published previously will be hidden.
If this functionality is active, users can upload photos from the Add a post panel by clicking the Load images button.
The following screenshot shows an example of a post with pictures.
Company Documents and Company Documents with Folders
By default, the tags in the filter drop-down menu are ordered alphabetically. Now, while configuring filters, it is possible to flag the Stop reordering box, thanks to which tags will not be ordered alphabetically, but will keep the same order they have in the term set.
Company Documents with Folder
Thanks to a recent update of this component, it is possible to customize the name of root label of the breadcrumb. You just need to type the name you would like to use in the Custom root label box. If you don't write anything in this field, the name of the document library will be used.
You can also choose to hide the root label of the breadcrumb when you are viewing the root folder. You just need to activate the Hide root label option shown in the screenshot above.
Highlights
The latest version of Highlights includes a graphic improvement which concerns the background of the web part. Now, when the component is used in a section of a color other than white, its background is white rather than transparent, so that it stands out more.
News Archive
By default, the tags in the filter drop-down menu are ordered alphabetically. Now, while configuring filters, it is possible to flag the Stop reordering box, thanks to which tags will not be ordered alphabetically, but will keep the same order they have in the term set. For example, this is useful when tags with month names are used.
The possibility of disabling the favorites functionality has been added. This can be done by activating the Disable favorites option.
Organizational Chart
A new option has been added to the General settings. It is called Choose the scroll type and it consists of a flag through which you can decide how the organigram behaves when you use the mouse wheel. There are two scroll types: if you select Zoom, when using the mouse wheel you will zoom in and out, making the organigram bigger or smaller. If you select Scroll, you will enable a vertical scrolling: if the expanded nodes take up more space than the height of the web part, you will be able to scroll up and down with the mouse wheel.
People Directory
When SharePoint is selected as data source, it is now possible to choose one or more fields to use for searches. This new web part property consists of a drop-down menu showing all the texts fields contained in the People directory list.
If no option is selected, searches will be performed on the standard fields: Title, Business Phone, Mobile Phone, Email and User Login Name. If one or more fields are selected from the drop-down menu, these will replace the standard fields (they will not be added to them).
Resource Reservation
It is now possible to add a description while booking a resource. This feature must be enabled in the web part property pane, by activating the Description field. If you activate only the Description field, the description will be optional. If you also activate the Mandatory description field, the description will be mandatory.
This way, when the user clicks on Book, the following description box will appear:
The description can be modified by administrators.
