This is a little script that works on classic SharePoint lists (modern lists, you should really use PowerApps to customize it). It'll allow you to format a field row, label or the cell the value is in. Similar to: Yes, it's ugly, but I wanted to highlight it plainly: formatRow - allows you to format... Continue Reading →
I jumped to Microsoft To-Do, and you should too
I was hesitant to make the jump, as I was in love with Wunderlist. I had Flows, IFTTT, iPhone, Outlook calendar and more, all integrated and working together. I've been eyeballing To-Do for quite some time but never could commit since my stupid-large complex needs across all the aforementioned services. Then I decided to take... Continue Reading →
Office 365 is more than just SharePoint
Check out my latest post on Slalom Technology's site. Microsoft describes Office 365 (O365) as a collaborate anywhere, on any device, solution. O365 is all about collaboration — and it’s true.

The diverse collection of data connectors in PowerApps is impressive. There are over 250 different connectors available, not only from the Microsoft ecosystem but across the entire internet.

Breaking Bad: Culture and Collaboration
Excerpt from my post on Slalom Technology: Your employees are collaborating today And they’re doing it without specific software. It happens during meetings, phone calls, at the water cooler, at their desks, in the hallways. Is it efficient? Maybe not. Is it breaking silos? Doubtful.

Squeezing a little more formatting out of Microsoft Forms
As it stands today, Microsoft Forms is quite limited in its customization capabilities: with changing the background to a custom image only being released in recent weeks, you can select a theme or create your own.
