In this part we will setup a workflow for the Office 365 and Microsoft Teams provisioning. Workflows help to follow specific processes for a successful collaboration. Offering self-services for users is a key to reduce workloads on the IT department and to allow users to cover their requirements quickly while the organizations policies are enforced during the process. A frequently asked request is how to provision a new Microsoft Team in Office 365 in a secure and monitored way. See how this can be implemented here. To allow an app to create a Microsoft group or team programmatically in a workflow, we will use the Microsoft Graph API, Azure Functions and Flow or Logic Apps. With these technologies, we can create powerful workflows to offer a self-service for users to create a team when needed, approved by the manager and being provisioned with all the necessary properties and permissions.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2018/spc19-discount/Thu, 27 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2018/spc19-discount/We from atwork will are looking forward to see you at SharePoint Conference North America 2019 that will take place in May 2019 in Fabulous Las Vegas.

My goal was to show a picture of a text field with 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.

Amongst many other features, you can work with OneDrive and SharePoint files with the Graph REST API. Additionally, you can directly work with Excel files through the Graph Excel API. Since all samples I found just use the personal OneDrive for Business OFB file storage, I wanted to document how to access files that are stored in a SharePoint Online site SPO as well.

By default, every user can create an Office 365 group. While self-service is a good thing and many businesses adopted into that direction, some companies still prefer the controlled approach. In real world environments, organizations usually want to restrict the group provisioning so that IT can control the wild growth of groups. This article series shows how to create an Office 365 group with an attached approval process with SharePoint Online, Flow and Azure functions.

Since it often is not clear, if end users who want to use and not create a PowerApps app need a license or how licensing works with data sources, I want to inform about licenses, show some samples and clarify that topic here.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2017/tips-for-powerapps-a-drivers-logbook/Wed, 04 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2017/tips-for-powerapps-a-drivers-logbook/PowerApps are a great way to accomplish simple tasks by end users.
