I have read and followed this awesome post: Getting SPFx working in Visual Studio Online by SPDavid. I got my fingers and tried that guide out. This worked good, I spent some time, though, googling (binging) around to get rid of the SSL Warnings for the remote “localhost” on my Mac. I would like to share this simple instruction on how to trust a self signed certificate from gulp-connect on Mac OS.

Allowing custom script has its security implications. But what exactly does it mean? Is it dangerous? My colleauge Daniel and me have done a little experiment. There are two implications stated on MS Docs: Scripts have access to everything the user has access to. Scripts can access content across several Office 365 services and even beyond with Microsoft Graph integration. To summarize, we can look at that picture:

This post is my summary and my conclusions on the Path Length Limit in SharePoint Online and OneDrive. How the path length is calculated Path Length is not the same as the URL length. It is the relative Url. /sites/site-url/documenlibrary/folder1/folder2/filename.fileextension Calculations rules Only the server relative url part is counted. The “https://[tenant].sharepoin.com” has no impact on that. It starts from the foward slash: “/sites” (or /teams). An encoded value such as a blankspace (%20) is treated as one character, not three.

I saw a demo of it on the European SharePoint Conference in Copenhagen in 2018. Sebastian Fouillade, who showed this, compared this big change with brain surgery. All the urls, all the connections. But now it is possible. Today I have seen it even in my standard release tenant. It is really appreciated. Soon it will be possible to rename misspelled sites, like “devlepment” to “development” etc. To rename you need to go the SharePoint Admin, find your site among Active sites and click on “Edit” in the site url area.

A non-admin user can create no more than 250 resources in Azure AD. That is one of the many Azure AD service limits and restrictions. A “resource” can be an app registration, an Office 365 Group etc. But I would like to discuss Groups more in detail. Imagine the following scenario: Your organization has disabled Office 365 Group Creation. Only IT can create new groups. A service account has been set up for creation of team sites.

Ett nytt tips på svenska: det finns en webpart i SharePoint Online: snabbdiagram. När du har lagt till ett snabbdiagram, kan du skriva välja mellan stapel och cirkeldiagram Du kan bara välja mellan stapel- och cirkeldiagram. Data går att mata in direkt. Resultatet får du direkt: Använd data från en lista Det går att visualisera data från en SharePoint-lista. Det är inte så mycket mer komplicerat, men det öppnar nya möjligheter.

This is my personal list of links and thoughts on troubleshooting performance in SharePoint Online. Resources @MSFT365Status, a twitter flow on the incidents and resolutions connectivity service Service Status (open for all), Service Health (for admins) Health info in Response Headers Every response from SharePoint Online contains some health information: Diagnosing performance issues with SharePoint Online (MSDocs) Troubleshooting SharePoint Performance Issues with F12 (blog post) Following Response Headers could reveal the health:

Jag har precis börjat med kolumnformatering, bara testat. Det är annorlunda, jag är nöjd med första resultatet. Även om det påminner om jslink som jag har jobbat mycket med, så är det mycket lättare att sätta igång: Det är enklare att ändra, även för en icke-utvecklare. Man får en början: Med hjälp av dokumentation av List Formatting och Office UI Fabric Icons, har jag skapat en enkel formatering som jag är riktigt nöjd med:

Today I will share a short script for getting totals from a list view in SharePoint. Imagine this scenario: you have set up a list view with totals and you want get the totals every day for statistics or some other reasons. Instead of getting all items, and/or fiddling around with CamlQueries, there is a better and quicker way - List.RenderListData. This combined with a tip from Piyush K Singhs blog post Get Aggregate Values… I came up with an idea to read the ViewXml from an existing view and retrieve the totals (in my case Count and Sum).

This post is about the default language of a new site in SharePoint Online. There are some pros and cons of using English as the default language for Non-English sites. In my case I want to know what is better for Swedish users: A site with English as default and Swedish as an alternate language (among many other alternate languages)? A site with Swedish as default? Today, when you create a site, English is pre-selected in the form, you have to choose Swedish actively.
