Allowing staff to create brand new Teams "on-demand" can quickly lead to sprawl and security issues. So how do we solve the problem of staff asking for new teams without burdening the IT Team with hundreds of requests? In this session, Dawid will teach you how to develop a Teams provisioning process that manages "new Team" requests, approvals and the provisioning of new Teams.

This session was presented by Nick Brattoli MVP.
If your company needs to manage the process of staff vacations then this session is for you. With not too much effort you can create a simple staff vacation request system on top of existing Microsoft 365 E3 & Power BI Pro licenses.

SharePoint Lists are one of the simplest and most popular ways to store your organizational data. However, one of the challenges they present is quickly visualizing the data because a "View" only takes us so far.
This session will teach someone with no previous Power BI knowledge to transform their SharePoint list data into a beautiful, interactive dashboard. We'll start at square one, cover all the steps and requirements to create and publish a report, and end on some beginner-level Power BI basics so you can take your list visualizations to the next level.

Solutions Day 2 continues to inspire with advanced applications of SharePoint and Power Automate, showcasing efficient strategies for common workplace scenarios. These sessions are tailored to provide you with actionable insights and creative solutions for complex tasks.
This session was presented by Nate Chamberlain MVP.
When old procedures, policies, or drafts are no longer needed and shouldn't appear in search results anymore (potentially confusing users seeking the most current, accurate information), we are sometimes tempted to delete them. However, some documents need to be kept longer or may need to be referenced in a year or more even if we don't actively use them anymore (or if we don't want others to).
You will learn:
This session was presented by Jon Manderville.
During this session, we will show you the steps to plan and conceptualise the solution and create a prototype. We will also explain how we leverage Power Automate and Power Apps to remind and schedule inventory checks based on a list of information stored in SharePoint.
You'll find out how you could structure the data for entry-level Microsoft 365 licences—proving that a fully-functional solution like this can be achieved without Premium connectors.

Whether your lists are helping track upcoming events, due dates, expirations, or deadlines, your team could probably use some help staying informed and on track as items are added and updated. We can use Power Automate to create a weekly digest or reminder of upcoming dates and share that via a Teams channel conversation post or an email. In this session, you'll learn how to create a reminder solution that filters a list of items to those due in the current week and shares them consistently and automatically.

Heavily influenced by our 5-Day Challenge, you'll take a seat on a condensed journey through multiple Microsoft 365 services to build a vacation booking solution. Through the eyes of one of our support coaches, we'll dive more into the decision-making process, creating a data infrastructure, and utilizing the Power Platform to solve a real problem we experienced as a team.

This session was presented by Ben Stegink, Intelligink.
A new hire starts, and who has all the information about the new employee? I bet it's usually HR. What about when a user quits? Goes on leave? Most of the time, the IT department isn't the first to know. When they find out, it's usually through a ticket that may or may not have all the information.
What if you could give HR (or, frankly, anyone else) the ability to manage users in Azure AD without giving them access to Azure AD? You could also put specific controls around what they can update when approval is needed and even the formatting of updates. In this session, we'll walk you through the structure and process for creating a solution using the Power Platform to do just that!

This session was co-presented by Connor Deasey.

This workshop was presented by Daniel Christian MVP.
Imagine this: You're in the thick of it, hustling away in Teams, when all of a sudden you gotta log some crucial info or ping another team with a request. In the olden days, this meant you had to ditch Teams and scramble over to another app like Microsoft Forms, email, or SharePoint. Not only does this throw a wrench in your workflow, it also chews up precious time you could spend on the big stuff.
But what if I told you there's a smarter way?
What if you could tick off these tasks without ever leaving the comfy confines of Teams or hopping onto another app? Say hello to Power Virtual Agents - the chatbot whiz kids that let you swap mundane tasks for a simple chit-chat. With these little helpers, you can keep your head in the game and still get things done.

Armed with these skills, you'll be churning out chatbots that do your bidding, delivering top-notch customer service, and streamlining your workflow. You can mesh these into Teams or let them fly solo. Whichever way you roll, don't let this golden opportunity to level up your chatbot game pass you by.

"I just earned my Credly certificate for the Power Platform!"
I just earned my Credly certificate for the Power Platform. I had to say the five-day challenge was a fantastic journey for me. I looked at each one of the Power Platform modules separately. So one of my learning goals was to see how they would work together. This challenge did just that, but not just by talking about it instead, the week was spent building a usable application and enhancing it to see how each of those interactions.
Even though the course was great. The main difference was in the approach to learning, having that daily start time with cohorts and coaches that held me accountable and engaged for the week. And by participating in those discussion groups and earning badges, I was motivated to Excel at each day's assignment.
So congratulations on building this excellent platform. I know I'll certainly be signing up for other challenges in the future.

"Enlightened. Had a blast and I love the app! Keeper!"
I needed to understand Power Apps formulas and have an idea of the why's and order. The coach explained it clearly and put it in terms that made it easy to understand and now I get to show off my skills at work. Not only that, if asked I can explain why I did something instead of saying, "This is what I found online and this should work.", without being able to explain the why it would work.
The pace of the course was great. I was able to complete it between leaving work and before my next call.
The detailed explanations and the short challenges along the way for me to try first before being shown how to successfully complete were fantastic. It was a moment to show that I understood and was comfortable enough with what I had learned.
Don't take our word for it, hear from other 365ers:
When you attend the Challenge you can expect a next-generation training experience. We know it's really hard to complete a course when you're left alone. Our challenges are fun, cleverly-paced and also give you a degree of accountability ... so you succeed!

"I loved the idea that I would build something real-world"
I took the 5-day Challenge to explore the Power Platform's full potential quickly. In addition, I loved the idea that I would build something real-world that taught me all of the significant services. The Challenge was nicely paced, with tasks to do each day, and I loved the idea that Collab365 were on hand to support me.
What is a Collab365 Challenge?
In many cases, our Challenges are built so that you can "learn by doing". To achieve this we follow our B.L.U.E. Framework. Learn why BLUE is a superior way to learn. Here's a summary of the 4 phases.
BUILD IT
Learners conceptualise and start creating the app during the ‘Build It’ phase. They tap into the Power Platform’s capabilities to design an intuitive and user-friendly interface while meeting the task’s business requirements. This hands-on experience, right from the start, deepens their understanding of the platform and its functionalities.
LEARN IT
As they move into the ‘Learn It’ stage, learners realise the platform’s intricacies, discovering functionalities they were previously unaware of. This phase provides an immediate feedback loop, allowing learners to correct misconceptions, deepen their understanding, and improve their skills.
USE IT
In the ‘Use It’ phase, learners experience their creations from a user’s perspective. They test the app, identifying any flaws or usability issues. This hands-on testing and usage phase provides invaluable insights into user experience, an essential aspect of any app development process.
ENHANCE IT
Finally, during the ‘Enhance It’ stage, learners refine their app based on the feedback and insights gained during testing. This iterative process simulates a real-world development cycle, reinforcing the importance of continual learning and improvement in the technology industry.
