Demos delivered in this session

• Introduction to Intune APIs on Microsoft Graph – the Microsoft Graph API for Microsoft Intune enables programmatic access to Intune information for your tenant.  See what types of administrative device/compliance tasks can be done via the Graph API (add/delete permissions, update compliance policies, review devices, etc.).   Call Intune services from the Graph Explorer tool and through PowerShell scripts/cmdlets as an alternative to accessing the services from the Microsoft Endpoint Manager console UI.     

• Creating engaging and dynamic Viva Connections mobile experiences – building on the previous 2 ACE demos, Patrick combines the principles of State and Immediate/Personal to make dynamic (live tile like) experiences in cards.  Three ACE's (text updates, dynamically created SVG images, and rotating content) show simple ways to liven up the appearance of your ACE's.  Observe code similarities in all cards.  Essentially – set a state, use a timer, update state, render result.  

• Using the MGT Files Components in your solutions – handling files and folders stored in Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive with MGT is done with 2 components - Files and File list.  Files presentation options include layouts, custom file icon, related information – drive, site, user and group IDs, also properties and details.   Highlighted File list capabilities include display, upload, query for files/folders, get files by insight type, file extension and access through breadcrumb navigation.  

Thank you for your work. Samples are often showcased in Demos.
