Foundation Employee Spotlight Widget

Purpose

Recognize and engage employees with profile cards that highlight their success, anniversaries, achievements, and more.  

Features

  • Displays a profile image, user name, title and message. 
  • Selection of the items to display is determined by a predefined selectable value for filtering in the list 
  • Display order is determined by the sequence specified in the list 
  • Unlimited number of items to display with chevrons for cycling through 
  • Number of items to display per page can be selected in the widget instance 
  • Item is hyperlinked to the dynamic display page for the full user profile 
  • The Employee Spotlight widget displays a profile image, user name, and message.  The widget pulls items from the DeptEmployeeSpotlight_AK list OOTB (the supported list is defined on the widget property). The SharePoint list column “SpolightType” which is set to “SPOTLIGHT 1, SPOTLIGHT 2 and SPOTLIGHT 3 OOTB, can be updated on the list definition to reflect the type of spotlight desired.  For example, update the list settings, on DeptEmployeeSpotlight_AK, column “SpotlightType” and set the choice too “Management Team” and “Anniversaries” then add the users, setting their SpotlightType to the new choices. A simple update to the widget property “Spotlight Type”, changing:  {“Spotlight1″:”Spotlight1″,”Spotlight2″:”Spotlight2″,”Spotlight3″:”Spotlight3”} to {“Management Team”:”Management Team”,”Anniversaries”:”Anniversaries”}, allows for the desired labels to display on the dropdown selector.  For multilingual site a language version of the widget instance is created via the “Widget Manager” and the “Spotlight Type” (widget property) is update to reflect the new desired language.  Example, in the Spanish version of the widget instance the property “Spotlight Type” is set to: {“Management Team”:”Equipo de gestión”,”Anniversaries”:”Aniversarios”}, the SpotlightType choices option in the SharePoint list e.g. “Management Team” is mapped to a displayed label on the widget in this case “Equipo de gestión”.  The order in which the users appear, are based upon the order users appear in the supporting AppManager slider app e.g. “Employee Spotlight”.  Click on a user in the “People Updates” and the user will navigate to the employee detail page for the selected user. Left and right chevrons appear and allow the end user to scroll through all users in the “People Update”, for the selected SpotlightType.
