Today I want to share just a quick tip for custom formatting views in SharePoint lists. My goal was to show a picture of a text field that contains an URL and to use conditional formatting with a traffic light system to visualize the sentiment of tweets that are written to a SharePoint Online custom list from a Flow. See the formatting options here. The articles Use column formatting to customize SharePoint and Use view formatting to customize SharePoint basically explain how to work with the JSON object that describes the elements that are displayed, which is a good start. So, the ready formatted list shall look as here. Some fields in that list are rendered with custom formatting, you will spot them easily… ...
Do you want to change the design of your SharePoint site easily? This is just a quick introduction how to customize a SharePoint 2013 Site (SP on premises or Office 365) with custom CSS. With custom branding you can completely change the design of a SharePoint site, like in this sample of a Contoso SPO site. The steps to accomplish custom branding with CSS are: You need to be a site administrator (to activate the features and have full access to the site) The default site settings show not many options for *Look and Feel. *My demo site starts with the URL https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/design1 so the URL for the Site Settings is similar like here: https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/design1/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/_layouts/15/settings.aspx So first open Site Collection Administration / Site collection features. The page Site Settings : Site Collection Features follows, the URL goes like here: https://[tenant]sharepoint.com/sites/design1/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/_layouts/15/ManageFeatures.aspx?Scope=Site Active the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature: This usually can take some minutes… When this is done the feature looks like here: No go back to Site Settings and open *Site Actions / Manage site features. (Alternatively you can simply delete the ?Scope=Site parameter from the Site Collection feature URL) 6. Now active the SharePoint Server Publishing feature in the Site: After the activation the feature looks like here: 7. When going back to the Site Settings the result is that the Look and Feel group includes more options. 8. We are almost done. Now it´s possible to open the *Master page *settings. https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/design1/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx In here the Master Page for this site can be selected. The important part is the *Alternate CSS URL *below. 9. When opening the Alternate CSS URL group you can specify your own customized CSS file. 10. When clicking Browse you can upload your own CSS file and then select it (as shown above). In this sample the path to the CSS file goes like /sites/design1/Style Library/mystyle.css ...
Obwohl es das Microsoft Band derzeit nur in den USA zu kaufen gibt (wenn es nicht gerade ausverkauft ist) und es bereits etliche Erfahrungsberichte rund um das Band gibt, möchte ich meine persönlichen Erfahrungen mit dem Microsoft Band schildern und ein paar Tipps geben. Wie alles begann Begonnen hat alles mit der TechEd Europe in Barcelona. Wie ja viele der TechNet Team Blog Leser wissen, hatten wir eine Nerd-WG in der Nähe der Konferenz. Gemeinsam mit meinen Lieblings-Nerds haben wir uns ein Appartement geteilt und hatten in der Woche TechEd neben tollen Konferenzinhalt auch jede Menge Spaß. Morgens, bevor es losging zur Konferenz saßen wir beim gemeinsamen Frühstück und informierten uns gegenseitig über die neuesten Technologieneuigkeiten. Das hat in etwa so ausgesehen: ...
