Today, there is another addition to the PowerApps Office Template Series: Onboarding Tasks. Setting up a powerful, versatile, and useful onboarding experience can be one of the most challenging scenarios an admin or team leader will encounter. The Onboarding Tasks app serves as a template starting point for those people looking to quickly streamline their team’s onboarding experience. It acts as a one stop shop for new team members to introduce themselves, fill out their Office 365 User profile and photo, track relevant onboarding tasks, and much more.
The main idea behind our app is to adapt maximum of Microsoft solutions related to Office 365. This app will create a Task in your Outlook task list with information you’ll provide and the message context you work with. Once it is done, you can check for task in Outlook app and in Microsoft To Do. View your tasks and shared plans across Microsoft To Do and Planner with the Tasks app in Microsoft Teams. Target, publish, and track tasks across your organization's frontline workforce with task publishing. Learn more about Teams Sync tasks so you don’t miss a thing. Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Team (Surface Hub).

In a web browser, sign in to Outlook Web App using the URL provided by the person who manages email for your organization. Enter your user name and password, and then select Sign in. At the top of the page, select the app launcher, and then select Tasks.
This app utilizes PowerApps connectors that use Microsoft Graph API operations. The Office 365 Outlook connector, Outlook Tasks connector and Office 365 Users connector are all used in this PowerApp template. For PowerApp makers, this means customization with the ability to leverage these productivity scenarios as inspiration for your own apps.

Onboarding Tasks: Admin screens
Everyone who has been new to the team knows that there are a lot of questions figuring out what needs to be done when you start. Built into the app are several admin-only screens which allow app makers to tailor the app to best suit their team’s onboarding experience. If you are the editor of the app for your team, you will see these extra screens in the list. They cannot be seen by the people just using the app. Use the first screen to add yourself to the table to allow you edit permissions to have buttons appear to allow you to add tasks, resources and edit company information.

Onboarding Tasks: Update your Office 365 profile

One of the most exciting things about the Office Template series is that as we release new apps, more Graph operations are becoming available in the PowerApps connectors. Our first two apps in the series, Out of Office & Shout-outs brought you the RelevantPeople endpoint which allowed you to retrieve your most relevant contacts. The “Onboarding Tasks” app brings you several new ways to bring your Office365 data to your apps. Through the Users connector, app makers/consumers can now edit certain pieces of information in their Office 365 User Profile, and even change their Office 365 Profile Picture. Not to mention being able to see information about other users in your organization. Take a peek at the team page for a good overview of your team members.
