Roll Call Solution for SharePoint and Mobile
The solution described in the video below is a roll call
app that makes it easy to see at what location all team
members work each day.
Each team member has a schedule for the locations, but it
is often changed, so the customer requested a mobile friendly
app that is easy to view and update.
We decided to build the solution on two SharePoint lists:
- A Templates list that shows the Monday to
Friday schedule for each team member
- An Exceptions list for changes in the schedule
The app reads the lists and populates a SharePoint page
that shows the current schedule and any comments. The page
also has an 'Update' buttom for schedule changes. This page
is a custom .aspx page, built with TypeScript to display
the interface in different screen sizes.
One of the major benefit of this solution is that it is
part of the SharePoint and Microsoft 365 framework. That
means that it will be the same username, the same login
as with all other systems, such as the e-mail. A single
sign-on (SSO) will let team members access their e-mail,
the RollCall application and more.
