My daughter is in Primary 2, my son in Kindergarten 2. As they are part of Singapore’s education system, this also means for them that they learn Chinese (at varying levels) as their mother tongue, and also need to do some weekly reviews and practice spelling at home. For example, my son needs to practice the following spelling for this week: So basically, there are some words that they need Details
I am delighted to announce that a book I have co-written is getting published today! João Ferreira, a Microsoft MVP from Portugal, and myself have written “Hands-On Microsoft Lists“, edited and published by Packt Publishing. The target audience for our book are people who have used Office 365 and SharePoint before, and now want to learn more about how they can leverage Microsoft Lists. Microsoft Lists is an extremely flexible Details
I recently encountered a scenario at work where responses to a Microsoft Form should be sent to different people via email based on a value selected as part of one of the questions. Basically, if a person selects Option 1, send an email to a group of people, if he selects Option 2 send it to another group of people, etc. This can be easily achieved with Power Automate within Details
Let’s face it – when was the last time you heard someone say “Teams tastes great!”? I bet you can’t remember, or more likely, never heard anyone say that before. Most people would describe the taste of Teams as “mechanical”, “electrical”, or even “worse than my washing machine after it failed to drain the dirty water” – definitely huge adoption blockers. It’s no surprise that one of the most voted Details
Back in October 2019, Microsoft acquired mover.io, a cloud file migration company focusing on migrating content from other cloud sources (Dropbox, Box, Google, …) into the Microsoft cloud (Office 365, Azure). And while I was strongly involved in a lot of migrations over the past few years, I decided not to check this out in detail as I was working with too many other things (Teams/OneDrive adoption, PowerApps, …). But Details
Just a few days I wrote that ” it’s been MONTHS since I last ran a PowerShell script!” – and yesterday I not only had to run a script, but create it first. Luckily I still remembered how to use some of the PnP PowerShell cmdlets (though I have to confess, I forgot some syntax), and got the script working within a very short time. Not a surprise, really, as Details
Well, it’s been a while since I wrote something here. As I changed my job in April last year, I also had a change in job scope – away from daily operational work (it’s been MONTHS since I last ran a PowerShell script!), on to more project and strategy focused activities. A good amount of the content on my blog originated from this daily work (scripts, how to do xzy, Details
Update 22/7/2019: Loryan has published his article, where he explains in more detail what he wants to achieve, and which other things he tried. Check it out here: https://www.loryanstrant.com/2019/07/22/giving-yourself-a-clear-view-to-focus-on-your-day/ A couple of days ago, I saw the following question from fellow Office 365 MVP Loryan Strant: His goal was to have a combined view of his (Office 365) calendar’s entries and his To-Do items for the current day, so that Details
I just posted my first YouTube video in which I give a quick demo of the SharePoint Online site collection URL renaming functionality, which was made available just recently. Check it out:
Back in February I wrote a blog post on how to schedule Twitter content with Microsoft Flow and SharePoint. This was quite well received, and I’ve had a few discussions with various people, who tried it themselves. One of those is fellow MVP Luise Freese (Twitter, Medium) (extremely passionate & sketchnote artist extraordinaire), who used my instructions and replicated the setup. And as I saw recently and also discussed with Details
