Making ESPC as Easy as 1.2.3

This November I will be speaking at the European SharePoint Conference (Also known as ESPC)  in Dublin! I have a session on How to design a SharePoint 2016 Infrastructure, as well as a Full Day Workshop with my good friend Gokan Ozcifci. Here are a few tips from the conference organizers at how to get the best out of the conference!

Europe’s Largest SharePoint, Office 365 & Azure Conference is approaching fast. Here’s a few handy tips on how to make the most of your time at the conference.

1. Find out who’s going  

   Check out Twitter #ESPC17 to find out who’s going or visit the ESPC17 delegates page. If you would like to be added to this page, email your image and details to sarah@sharepointeurope.com There’s no better time to network with your peers, connect with new prospects, or touch base with customers than ESPC17. Don’t bank on running into them at the conference, reach out to them before and arrange a meeting.

2. Plan Ahead
   Take a look at the conference schedule and decide the sessions and tutorials you would like to attend. Take note of their time so you can plan your meetings accordingly. If you are travelling with co-workers, split up and attend different sessions. You can swap notes after, allowing your company to get the most out of the conference.
   
3. Learn
   Before the session, think of some questions you would like the answers to. Don’t be afraid to ask them during the Q&A, or alternatively go up and have a chat with the speaker afterwards. It is also important to take notes. A good practice is to write down the 3 most important takeaways from each session.
   
4. Socialise
   With 2,000 people from the SharePoint, Office 365 & Azure community estimated to attend ESPC17, it is worth going to the after parties (The Black & White Party at the Guinness Storehouse on Wednesday 15^th) and the many other great side-line and networking sessions, you never know who you’ll meet. Swap ideas, get advice and make those all-important contacts. Don’t be afraid to go up to a speaker or blogger and introduce yourself – they expect this at a conference.
   
5. Share what you learn
   To capture maximum value for you and your company, schedule time to share what you’ve learned and even better, to go ahead and implement, as soon as you get back to the office. Organise an informal meeting with your colleagues and managers and share important takeaways from the conference.
   

Still haven’t made up your mind? Then visit 10 reasons to attend ESPC17 to see why you should be there. Then book your ticket today. Use coupon code ESPC17Speak on checkout to avail of a further 10% discount.

SPJS Charts – automatic dashboard builder

In the previous article in this “series” I showed how you can create your own dashboards by manually writing the HTML code and store it in a custom list.

This proved to be a bit to complicated and I have now created a dashboard builder where you can specify a layout from one to four columns and as many rows as you like (please note that adding multiple charts to one page will make the page slower to load).

To use this tool, you must have the SPJS Charts solution already installed, and you must have set up the custom list as described in the previous article – linked in the top of this article.

Create a web part page and add the main SPJS Charts v6 loader web part to the page like described here. Then get the file “DashboardSelectorAndBuilder.zip” from here, and add it to a script editor web part (unzip first)  in the same web part page.

Alternatively you can store this code (after you unzip it) in a document library and link to the file in a ContentEditorWebPart (CEWP).

 Your page should then look like this:

Click “Add new” to name your new dashboard and select the number of columns:

Then add the charts from the collection of charts you have already created in this site:

Build your dashboard by adding charts and optionally inserting a header text / HTML:

Hit “Save” and reload the page. Select your new dash from the dropdown:

SPJS Charts – create dashboards that can be selected from a dropdown

By request I have created an example code snippet that can read a list of pre-configured dashboards that are stored in a custom list.

I first thought about letting the user save a dashboards based on the charts selected from the dropdown select in the example file “loadAllChartsFromDropdown.html” that I added to the download package on August 22. I changed my mind and chose to let a super-user add this as HTML in a custom list. The reason for this is that you can put the charts in a table layout to have them side-by-side and possibly add some text / HTML in between the charts.

Step one

First add the main SPJS Charts v6 loader web part to the page like described here.

Then add a custom list named “SPJSChartDasboards” (this name is hard-coded in the example html file so don’t get creative and change the name).

Add one additional field named “HTML”. This field should be of type “Multiple lines of text – Plain text”.

Add your first example dashboard like this:

Add the ID of your chart where I have highlighted in yellow. You find this ID in the chart you have configured in another page in this site like this:

Step two

Create a web part page and add a script editor web part with the code snippet from the file “DashBoardSelector” downloaded here.

Alternatively you can store this code(after you unzip it) in a document library and link to the file in a ContentEditorWebPart (CEWP).

Your page will look like this after you have added the script:

Select your dashboard, and watch the charts being drawn in the page.

Another example dashboard

If you like to have for example four charts in a table, use this format (normal HTML table):

Here is the HTML – replace “ID_CHART_X” with your actual chart ID.

<table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" style="width:1000px;">
 <tr>
 <td valign="top">
 <div class="spjs_chartPlaceholder" id="ID_CHART_1">
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
 <div class="spjs_chartPlaceholder" id="ID_CHART_2">
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td valign="top">
 <div class="spjs_chartPlaceholder" id="ID_CHART_3">
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
 <div class="spjs_chartPlaceholder" id="ID_CHART_4">
 </td>
 </tr>
</table>
