- 34. How we built Cards4.Pro Narasima Perumal Co-founder
- 35. What is Cards4.Pro? • Collaborative and Productivity solution on top of Office 365 • Helps you in Project management and Process Management
- 38. Architecture
- 39. API Used • Graph API • Planner • Calendar Events • Users • Groups • OneDrive • SharePoint REST API Toolset Used • Angular • Js library • @microsoft/microsoft-graph-client(SDK for graph api) • @microsoft/microsoft-graph- types(Typings lib) • @microsoft/office-js (for Office addin) • Msal(used for authentication) • azure-storage table • sp-pnp-js(SDK for SP rest api)
- 40. Graph API SDK - Pros • New team members adopted to Graph API SDK within a day and they started contributing to the team from Day 1 itself. • Playing around in Graph Explorer with various permissions helped the developers for exploration. • @microsoft-graph-types is very helpful in avoid writing the schema interface. • SDK is easily adaptable with angular framework due to TypeScript support • Permission required each resource and resource schema in Graph API is well documented.
- 41. Graph API SDK – Pros (cont…) • Upgrading the Graph API version in SDK is easily done from one place • Project never broke when we update the SDK through npm • Use Batch Requests to run multiple queries in one run • Use Paging to handle large return data from Graph API • Concepts like Batching, Paging reduces the development time and it is well documented in the Graph API docs • Use Schema Extensions to store your custom data in Graph resource
- 42. Graph API - Group Conversations - Challenges • Only 300 group post can be created in a thread, when we exceed a new thread is created • Returns last 100 conversation post alone • When we use @mention, a new thread is created with same subject • Filter and Top queries are not supported • When we create group post by replying to a thread, id is not returned for group conversations Solution: We moved all our conversations to SharePoint discussion board
- 43. Graph API – Group Conversations • Can't get the member of groups with group read/write permission Solution: If we used some filter with query it will work /me/memberOf/$/microsoft.graph.group?$filter=groupTypes/any(a:a% 20eq%20'unified'))
- 44. Group.ReadWriteAll To perform any Planner related activity, we need to provide Group.ReadWriteAll permission to the application. We are looking for simpler form of Group permission.
- 45. Graph API - Planner • While we add a new task to plan, the task gets created, but when get the task, status is returned as 404 in the response. Solution: Require some delay. Repeatedly call the get task api. Note: This behaviour is observed when we create a new Group Conversation Thread.

Editor's Notes
- #21: Time: 3 min (MAX) Our customers are starting to think about problems they can solve analyzing their own data. To give you a few examples: Effectiveness of Diversity & Inclusion training – Organizations are embracing a diverse and inclusive culture to expand and reach customers across the globe. Imagine you running diversity and inclusion trainings in your organizations and want to measure their effectiveness. The rich Microsoft 365 data captures communication and collaboration data and signals in your organization. Customers are asking how they can analyze their data to understand the trends in communication patterns and collaborative behaviors have changed with their Diversity & Inclusion trainings. They are trying to understand if the organization as a whole is becoming more inclusive. Find an expert to help individuals' network within organizations and break information silos – Imagine you want to create a repository of experts based on topics/projects to help your users expand networks and break the information silos that grow up in large organizations. Microsoft 365 data captures the projects and topics are people are actively working on and have expertise in. Emails, meetings, files, etc. all capture the expertise that users have within your organization and democratizing this information can help organizations break silos of information and knowledge.
- #22: Time: < 1 min With that in mind, I would to introduce the Microsoft 365 Analytics and Insights Solutions space. You are aware of our Workplace Analytics and MyAnalytics offerings, which provide out of the box turn insights about organizations and individuals to help drive cultural transformation in their businesses. You are also aware of PowerBI that provides Business Analysts flexible capabilities to build custom dashboards to analyze M365 data. Today, we are announcing Microsoft Graph Data Connect, the developer focused data platform to build custom analytics and insights applications over Microsoft 365 data in a secure and governed manner.
- #24: Time: <15 sec. As we showcased earlier, there are several challenges that are inhibiting our customers ability to build Analytics and Insights applications using their own Organizational Data.
- #25: Time: 5 min As you heard Satya mention in his keynote, data is at the center of your digital transformation journey. Today’s data-driven applications require reasoning and analysis over massive datasets. Data Connect changes the paradigm of your data access model to a data set based model rather than real time interactive API based model. With data set based interaction model, Microsoft 365 data is accessible as datasets, or table which can then easily enable customers to write SQL like queries and analysis over the Microsoft 365 data. With Data Connect, we are also bringing forward a new consent model that helps bring organizational and individual data privacy at the center of development. Imagine you are trying to build a communication network graph in your organizations, effectively what teams are communicating with whom. The application And lastly, we have been hard at work thinking about the Application hosting and security story.
