Hi, everyone. Welcome back to C MP Show. I'm your host, Stephen Simon and we are back
I I always love that event because this is a, this is a live show where I get to host the uh the
the guests from RC Sha on our community. Uh I always follow them on platform and I
I read their blogs, I, I see the answers on forum. So when I get an opportunity to go ahead and actually interact with them
it is like, yes, they are a real person. So welcome back everyone
This is the MP show. We do it every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Indian time zone
Actually, in fact, 10 a.m. Eastern time zone. Uh the Indian time zone changes after this is summer as the daylight change
So I believe after 15th November, uh the show will be streamed at 8:30 p.m. but we will still remain 10 a.m. Eastern time
Having said that we have many shows on C# corner. We have a show as this one
We have good mindset. We have work in the Code world. We have A I photo
we have a bit of A I these two are run by Microsoft. Then we have uh seven minutes of better sitting podcast
There is a lot of content. I always say that we string eight days in a week until now
we have been about 500 live shows and 29 virtual conferences. The recent one that we did was global A I student conference that was
in partnership with Microsoft. All the recordings are available on our youtube channel
Before that we did I use service conference again, that was a partnership event by with Microsoft
And before that, only less than almost a month back, the cloud summit 2021 it was the world's largest cloud event with 150 speakers
136 sessions streaming for 11 days, almost 10 to 12 hours each day and reaching more than 297,000
unique people. That was the numbers. And yeah, this is the award
They are actually, we are actually sending to speakers for the cloud. So this is the one we start shipping after the wa I little
bit delayed, but never mind having said. And in today's episode of C Sharper MP show
we have someone joining us. Uh She's actually primal, uh primal is uh C A MP
Definitely that is why she is in this show. Uh She's a SharePoint developer with good experience and sharepoint online
Power apps and Power Automate. And yeah, today she's going to talk about use sharepoint online web pad
So without any further ado, let's bring pre to the live show
Hi, Tim. Welcome to the CRP show. How are you doing today
All good. I'm doing good. Thank you. How are you doing? I'm doing absolutely great
Uh As we are talking behind the scenes, I'm based out of Delhi. So the weather is very different
It's raining here. Usually it, it won't rain in the month of October
especially the third week. Uh Where are you actually joining us today from
I'm joining from KU uh which is a part of Karnataka. So here also it's raining continuously from past 23 weeks and it's a very
cold place. I think the climate has been changing. So primal before we go and do all those technical
stuff, right? I did see you are a very recent member of C# corner
right? But my very first question to all the members are, how did you come to know about the C# corner at the very first
place? Ok. Uh So I started my career at 2019. Uh So I got into a SharePoint
So I was clueless what is sharepoint? So I was going through Google and browsing around
Then I got C# corner where there were multiple blocks. Then I got interest like I have to start this
but then I should know something before that to do. So, maybe one year I went to uh sharepoint and then now I'm in a
position to just write an article of blogs to the beginners who want to learn sharepoint
Yeah, that is absolutely great. And I also see it. Uh you, you work around power apps
which is absolutely great. Once again, I remember uh in the month of March
this year, we did a five days power platform virtual conference. And I and I see this
this product has as a great demand in the enterprise that people have been building some really great products using this power apps
Um Having having said that from all the articles that you have written on which is one of your favorite article or
or the best article, you think that this was a good one? OK. I think uh the power ups where I had developed uh tabs
and power ups, how to navigate among top. OK. That, that, that
that's cool. My only challenge with the power apps, I have explode the cameras apps and all that
The only challenge it doesn't look that good is the one where we can do much of customization
So I like to work on canvas app. But, but yeah, I think I see people are doing some great
I see some people also had the CSS and all that and people make it really good
So people today going to talk about share point online, we part for people who are joining us
Can you give a very quick brief on what would be what they would learn in the next 25 to 30 minutes
OK. This session will be entirely for the beginners who want to learn what sharepoint provides by default called web parts
So how how we can develop like each part has its own configuration and features
So there are around 40 to 50 web parts which sharepoint provides by default
So we'll be learning in depth for around 20 to 25 parts. I'll be explaining today
OK. That sounds really exciting to please feel free to go ahead and share the screen and then we can get started and everyone who's
watching. Uh If you have any questions around uh this session or if you have any queries
please feel free to drop your questions in the comment and we'll make sure that we take it towards the end of the session
Uh Yeah, I think I see your screen. I'm gonna add it to the stream
Everybody else can see it. And next 2025 30 35 minutes is all yours
Yeah. Uh Firstly, I would like to thank Shisha Corner community for giving me such a great opportunity
So today I'll be taking around 30 minutes uh to explain on usage of sharepoint online parts
So I have two years of experience in SharePoint online moving forward
Uh uh This is agenda like I'll be explaining in depth uh like briefly what is each part and what are the functionalities
Also? I'll be giving a short demo. So uh firstly, I would uh like to tell what is sharepoint for a beginner
they have to start with what is sharepoint, right? So sharepoint is a cloud based service provided by Microsoft where we can uh store the
data manage and collaborate, collaborate with different Microsoft technologies as well. And uh the SharePoint online
it provides some SharePoint online web parts which are known as out of the box web part
So this out of the box keyword is very important. So out of the box
when I first figured it out, uh figured it out what is out of the box
I was just wondering what is this out of the box? I was just thinking it is something beyond something that I have to figure
it out. But later I realized that out of the box is something that sharepoint is providing by default
So SharePoint provides by default, some of the web parts. So those are called out of the box web parts in lay terms
we can call it as widgets. So why we have to use this SharePoint web part
So this SharePoint web part, it is used to represent some contents in sharepoint page
even appearance, look and feel and each part has its own features and uh its own specifications
So next few slides I have uh on, I'm just changing my slide
Yeah. So this is just a demo. I'll be explaining the around 20 parts in this site
So these are, this is my development site. So I have added some multiple parts here
So I'll be explaining each of those. So this is a sharepoint site where we can see this is a top youth bar and this
is office 365 all multiple Microsoft apps are here. And uh I'm just editing this page and
I'll just show how to add and web part now. So I'm having this plus icon
So here is what I'm getting a feature to add one column, two column or three column
Let me just add three columns. So I can add three different web parts here
So for example, if I want to add a text part, this is most commonly used web parts
So this is just the part. So this is test part C if you can see
I have multiple options here, this is one of the very big benefit that I found in sharepoint
Like we have e every features here like font size color highlights
even I can insert a table, you can change the color of the web part
font size, font family, like all different multiple features we are getting here
This is a text part and I have used it very frequently
And next coming up, I'm coming up to this image part. So when will we have a requirement
Like we want an image, we part. So instead of billing and custom web part
we can just go for share point out of the box part. So I'm just adding an image
So I have an option to change whichever image I want. I'm just choosing one insert
So I got an image so I can add and caption, I can add a link like on clicking this image where it has to
navigate right and an alternate text. Also, I have a flexibility to preside the image fit it
whether it should be aligned center or it should be to the right left
So all features are there for this one. And the second part is the part which I already explained
And next, it is a button we part if you can see here
it's a button like structure. So in this, this pencil icon is edited for all the parts
So here I have a label, I'm just adding test here. So it is dynamic
This window is called as property pay. And the top this label is represents the web part name
So this is the button, web part and I've given the label and this link is where this button has to navigate
And we also have a feature to align it. This is also an important part and
next comes a quick but these quick links part is whichever links we frequently use right to those parts
we can have it on our site. So for now, I am
I frequently access these 31 sh shop corner and the linkedin I have given in my gmail
So if I edit this, I also have feature like how I how the layout has to be displayed
So whether it has to be compact F strip, all different layouts are there button structure
tile structure, how the icon has to display small, medium large show only the icon of the image
all along with this text. And this enabled the target audience like which target audience has to visit
Whether like in sharepoint, we have by default out of the box permissions like member owners and visitor by default
Oh, this part should be visible to us. So that is enable target audience coming next
This is called to action web part which is very similar to the button web part
But only thing is we have a background here image and uh this label
So learn new is a button name and we have button here link where it has to navigate
And the same feature as the button where like where it has to be aligned in the center
And next I'll come to this part which is an image gallery part like uh if we have a requirement
we want a carousel or a banner on the top or in our site
So we can go with this image gallery part. Uh We can have this structure like carousel structure
We can, if you see we can have a text on the image, we can have a great structure each website
you can edit in such a way and add a title, give a caption or an alternate text too
This is a list we part and similarly panel. I'll be explaining document library part
list and document library, web part A list in sharepoint is a row column structure where we store the data and library is where
we add different files like PPT image or different kinds of documents here
So these two parts are like to fetch the data and display it on the site uh sharepoint page
So I'm just editing this part. I'm getting this property pain where I can choose which from which list I want to get the data
So I have taken employee list and which view I want to display even this can have folder like structure and how many items I
want to display. So I'm having only two items here and I'm just doing apply
So these are all dynamic. Whenever we change in property paint, everything gets reflected here
Same in the case of this document library part two. And next this location
we part, this is also an important part. I'm just, I'll just take one example here
California. So it just gives me based on that location name, which I typed
it gives me what is the time? What is the day? What's the time? Everything
So this is also an important part that we have to use which Airpoint provides
And here comes uh another part. I'm thinking it's a link, web part similar to button web part in button web part
we had a button structure here we have an hyperlink based on this hyperlink we get
what is the data present in that. So for example, here it's Google
For example, let me take my site and I'll just leave it here in this part
So it takes some time and it loads, it gives the data of my site
So this is also an important web part, we can use it. And there's another part called site
web part. This site, we part uh it gives like which are the frequently accessed sites
Uh we can have subsites right in sharepoint. So my site is technology
So this is the frequently used site and how do I want to show this
So these are the recent activities that I performed? OK. So
we have another part called a code snippet part. So I've not used it till now for this session
I got it here and I found it very interesting. So this is the part here
This is like uh for a layman or for a beginner, we want to display some code on our site so that they will understand
So here we have multiple languages, whichever we want have taken html
And we also have a feature to give a theme here. Light theme or dark theme
And one more functionality of this part is it auto corrects if there are any errors
it autocorrect it coming up to next one. The Hero web part
I have taken the zero, we part I just edit it but I can see some text here
some message that is because this part I have divided this section into three here
Now I'm just changing it to one column. OK? You can see the chain
So in one column, you see this view, if it is three column
then it comes in the form of carousel, right? So for each web
each image we can edit and we can provide the caption the title
what should be the background image and all different features for each of the web part call to
So here there is one more click on some advanced web part where we can add call to action
That was another web part. So on click where it has to navigate. So this is the link that we have to provide here
OK. The next is organization chart and this people profile. So these two parts are somewhat similar organization
structure part is like we provide a manager name and we get the entire Iraqi that is their report
So this is also an important part which I have used. And uh this part
I just gave this name the top one and then I got the report
So on over we'll get entire details, their email, their contact everything
So we need not build and separate team contacts some team related web parts
we can go with sharepoint online default web part people profile is like individually
we want to add some names. So I have another user called test user
So individually we have to add the user. It's not an hierarchy
So but the functionality on over is same, we get the entire details of the user
And here comes another part, it's a bing map part. So we'll have to just provide the location
and then we'll get the entire address. The one nice feature here is we can just zoom out and zoom in and we can find
the location. Uh This is very interesting part. OK. Moving on to the weather report part
So I'm just giving the middle bangalore. So I get the weather report
here and this is also an interesting part, right, similar to the location
but we'll have to just give a location, the place name and we will get the location and we have an
events part. So here I have a SharePoint default events list. So there I have given my events and then that will getting those
are popping up here. So this is, I can see here the different layouts and how many items I want to show up
So this is an event, that part and next coming up to activity
This is what is my, what are my uh frequent and recent activities in my sharepoint site
So I'm just editing this part. So here we just have only one functionality like how many items that I
I have to show up, right? So dynamically, it's getting reflected here
So I just selected five and there are five recent activities in my site
OK. Then I have a Twitter part. So in this part, I'll have to just provide here
I'm just, instead of Microsoft, I'll just change it to Google and we'll be getting the tweets from Google
And uh here also we can change like how many tweets we want to display here
And finally, I'm taking up this video part. Oh This is also similar to Twitter like we have to if you want
to display any video from youtube. So we just need the URL from there
We just need the link and then we paste it here. And if you want to play this video from in like somewhere in between
you have to provide the time. That's it, the video gets displayed
So I have explained majority of frequently used parts. So one more is here
Uh which is very m yeah. So this part is called a divider part
And this part we can, it is two had between two parts as a divider
So we have a property like length and the width. So you can see the difference here
So this is a divider we part. So two more parts which I would like to explain uh are in my sh shop corner yeah
one is this embed web part and the other one is Microsoft Power Up part
So this MBD web part is to embed some uh video or a power of application or a form or
the image. So we just have a part of code I frame where we can specify width and height and provide the source
So I have given you the APP ID of Power up and then this is uh a snippet we can use
we have to just change the source here and heighten width. So this is one of the important part to embed different of image or
video or power up. And the other part is Microsoft Power Up part
So in order to get the canvas of or any other Power app form into a sharepoint page
we can either use embed we part as I explained or there is a Microsoft Power Ups part itself where we have to add just
an app ID. So we get an app ID. Once the power apps is uh built
we get an app ID. So web link, this link, either this link or we can also add this app ID and we have to
just put it in. Sure. This is an we at Microsoft power up and uh in property pay
we get it as a app, web link or ID. So either web link or app ID
we have to add, then we'll get our power up as shown in the output
So this is all I wanted to explain today. So I have covered
around 20 to 25 parts here. All
right, that was great. Uh You covered a lot in about 25 minutes
right? So here's my quick question. Uh Is it, is it like all no good
Uh And is it like a website that is built only for a certain organization
Uh Yeah, this is like no code like sharepoint has already created for us
So we have to just use and just we should have a SharePoint site
That is OK. Yeah. So we should have a SharePoint site and we should be familiar with the each of the web parts and based
on the requirements we can use like we can either use SharePoint web part or
and customized part using SP FX. So what I prefer is whenever there is a requirement
first, we have to go and look into SharePoint web parts because SharePoint provides by default
responsive web parts. OK? So here's one quick question. If I create a SharePoint website
can anyone outside my organization access it? No, no. But if you provide
if you provide like you have a share option external by that we can do but it's your credential
right? I'm just wondering that if it, if it's so easy to build
right? I would like to go in and everyone to access it. That would have been really great
Uh But yeah, until then we'll just rely on wordpress uh uh pre I was just looking at your provider and CF and then I
just saw these certifications, right? So you added two of the certifications
Uh uh The first one is the digital marketing and I did it long time back
But what, what I'm really interested to talk about is your uh uh certification in the automation anywhere
Are you an RP developer? I, I had an interest in automation initially before getting into share point
So that time I took a course and I did that certification. So yeah
but you still work around power automate, right? So it still makes sense
So I did the certifications on, on Q I path, I I work on U I PA tool
Uh So I was just really excited. So here's my quick question, right? And I asked this even from people who come from Microsoft uh
automation. Anyway, blue Prism, U A part, these are the companies who have really excelled when it comes to automation
right? But when, when we think of the power automate, all the
all those options are available, but they do use the power automate if you compared with the other platforms
Uh I'm very beginner. I don't know if I'm the right person to answer this one
Like I recently started Power Automate. So I'm not sure on this question
Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's good. I mean, it's backed by Microsoft. So definitely it has many different uh tools said that people are
already using it. It gets pretty easy for them to go over and get using power automate
Whereas the automation anyway, blue prisons, but they just stand alone tools
No one has to buy it. So yeah, so that, that's great. I think you are very young and you are learning all these great
technologies which are very much in demand now. So that is great
So pretty. That is a great session. Any anything you want to plug in uh before we move
before we end the show, any final thing you want to plug in? Like I feel like still I'm a beginner in chef
She shop corner too. So I have a very long way to go
Yeah. Uh Yeah, this is always day one, right? That's how everyone started it
I have a final question for you. Right. I have a final apart from all this day to day work
Life apart from this doing sharepoint Power automate power ups. What do you do in your free time
And what are some of your hobbies? Uh My ho I play keyboard and Ukulele
Like I'm very interested in music. You do? I have, I have a violin and a guitar next to me
but violin is so tough to play. I took certain classes and I
and I, and I left it too. Yeah, it's, it's very tough. Ukulele is not bad
The only challenge that I feel with Ukulele is like, ok, here's my
this is apart from my vision, if I have a ukulele, right
Can I, can I really play an entire song, for instance, in violin
you can play an entire song, right? And if someone would hear it, they recognize this is a song that he's playing on keyboard you
can play and song people recognize. Does that also happen with Ukulele in Ukulele
We just have gods and strumming patterns. So entire song, we'll have to just change the sting patterns
So that's all that's I know some people do it but they also sing at the same time
It sounds but I cannot sing it. So, never mind. That's great
I think I'll, I'll go ahead and try to get to you because violin is not my cup of tea
So pretty much that was absolutely great. Thank you so much for accepting notation. I know it's
it's late night here in India from 8 p.m. Thank you so much for accepting the invite and for all that you do for the
community, we really appreciate it. And as always, we would love to have you back when you are available
