Demos delivered in this session

• Introduction to Timesheet Microsoft Teams app template – Preview the newest production ready template – Time Tally.  A simple timesheet submission, validation, aggregation, approval, activity reporting tool.   Super mobile friendly.   Managers can approve many time sheets at once, integrates with Planner and existing back-end time sheet collection tools.   Track time by people, projects, tasks, utilization, billable work, and sends reminders too.  This latest Microsoft Teams app template is scheduled to release on January 31^st.
• Configure list custom header, footer and the form body with JSON – Focuses on the new list form called Configure Layout for formatting list Header, Body and Footer.  Header and Footer formatting – draw what you want using familiar column formatting syntax.  Presenter shows ease of leveraging sample code.  Body section formatting has limitations at present.  Calls out things to keep in mind when using this new capability that is powerful, not polished.
