In the latest version of the component, it is possible to set the entire hub as the source for documents, pages, and news. By enabling the corresponding option, the component can search for documents, pages, and news across all sites connected to the hub.
Two web part properties have been added to link a URL to the button.
Button url: here you can copy and paste an internal or external link. Users will simply need to click the button to access the link and explore content.
Open on a new tab: thanks to this option, you can choose whether to open the link on the same tab or a new tab.
It is still possible to insert a hyperlink into the text of the back button.
It is now possible to choose between two layouts: Default and List.
The new List layout has been added as an alternative to the already existing Default layout. It displays apps in the form of a list:
If the List view is selected in the View settings, the following specific fields are included in the General settings:
You can set the height of the web part. If you enable this option, an additional field will allow you to enter the height of the web part in pixels.
You can choose whether the Favorites section will be expanded by default. If you don't enable this setting, the section will be collapsed by default.
You can choose whether the Personal apps section will be expanded by default. If you don't enable this setting, the section will be collapsed by default.
You can choose whether all other categories will be expanded by default. If you don't enable this setting, all sections will be collapsed by default.
The following fields have been added to the General settings:
Now, you can choose the number of documents to load.
You can also decide whether to display the search bar at the top or on the side. If you choose to display it on the side, all filters will be hidden. This feature allows for a cleaner layout if the web part is used in a narrow section:
Then, you can customize the text of the Load more button. If you leave this field blank, the default text ("Load more") will be displayed.
You can also decide whether the Load more button should simply load more documents or take you to a different page. If you choose the latter option, two additional fields will be activated: use them to enter the page URL and decide whether to open the link on a new page or the current page.
Finally, you can choose audiences by selecting one or more AD groups from a drop-down menu.
The default value of the label introducing upcoming events has been changed to "Next events". This label is now displayed in the Compact layout as well.
Thanks to a newly added web part property, the Next events label can be customized. This applies to all layouts.
Now, Event Calendar can display events from multiple Events lists. The Source Settings section in the property pane has been updated as follows:
You need to click on Configure to configure one or more Events lists.
Then, you need to complete the configuration pane as follows: - Enter the URL of the site where the Events list is located. - Enter the list URL in the required format (/sites/site/Lists/list, e.g., /sites/iai-demo-saas/Lists/Events). The Events list of the current site is added by default. - To add more lists, click the + symbol on the right and repeat the same steps. - When the configuration is complete, click Save.
Do you want to show the site name?: you can decide whether the web part will display the source site name. The screenshot below offers an example.
Do you want to show the list name?: you can decide whether the web part will display the source list name. The screenshot below offers an example.
Thanks to a newly added section, you can customize the label of the buttons used to add information.
Two properties have been added to the General settings:
Invert title and content: thanks to this property, you can invert the position of the news title and content. The default option is No: in this case, you have the news content on the first line of the preview and the news title on the second line. If you select Yes, the position of these two elements will be inverted, with the title on the first line and the content underneath.
Hide date: this property allows you to hide the news publication date from the web part.
Thanks to a newly added property in the News source settings, you can choose to display the name of the source site in the web part.
Thanks to a new option in the General settings, you can filter the news archive by selecting a specific time range. Enable this setting and choose the desired time frame.
It is now possible to exclude specific users from the synchronization by using a custom field in the SharePoint list. The field must be of the Yes/No type (default value: No) and have the internal name "IAIPDDisableSync".
This feature is useful for a SharePoint list synchronized with Active Directory (AD) that also allows manually added users. These manually added users will not be removed during the synchronization process.
Manually added users might not exist in Entra ID and therefore won’t have a User Principal Name. The User Principal Name field is a key for managing detail links, such as opening a specific user’s profile through the search component. Therefore, when manually adding a user to the People directory list, it is important to provide a value for this field, such as name.surname.
For example, if you add Marco Rossi to the list and he does not exist in Entra ID, you can type marco.rossi in the User Principal Name field. This ensures the user's detail page is opened correctly.
It is now possible to choose between two layouts:
The Default layout consists of a list of articles.
The Carousel layout consists of a slider characterized by a graphic style similar to that of Highlights. If you select this layout, you can choose whether to set up automatic sliding.
Thanks to a recent update, it is now possible to customize the message users receive in the Teams chat when a news post or an event is published. The default text is "[Bot Name] sent a card". Instead of "Sent a card", you can have a custom message.
Thanks to a new section in the property pane, you can customize the text of the welcome message. Three placeholders are supported:
{givenName}: the web part replaces this placeholder with the user's name;
{surname}: the web part replaces this placeholder with the user's surname;
{welcomeText}: the web part replaces this placeholder with a localized text which changes according to the current time: - From 6 AM to 1PM: "Good morning" - From 1PM to 6PM: "Good afternoon" - From 6PM to 6AM: "Good evening"
The placeholder {welcomeText} starts with an uppercase letter if it is placed at the beginning of the text or after a period; otherwise, it is all lowercase.
You can choose whether to include all placeholders or select just one or two. If you leave this field blank, Welcome Box will only show the user's name and surname, which is the default behaviour of the web part.
