Extend Copilot for Microsoft 365 to get the most out of your investment!

Andrew Connell

I Help You Be the Best Microsoft 365 & Azure Full Stack Developer

You’ve rolled out copilot for Microsoft 365 and now your organization has entered the AI revolution. Mission accomplished… or is it? In this session, learn how you can unlock the power of copilot by customizing and extending it with your organization’s data. From populating the semantic index with Graph connectors to implementing the RAG pattern & injecting real-time data into copilot queries with plugins using Teams message extensions or OpenAPI endpoints, you can make copilot more “yours”! But that’s not all you’ll learn in this workshop for pro-code/full-stack developers… You’ll also learn how to create declarative copilots for specific scenarios and even bring copilot into your own apps with custom engine copilots.

Dataverse Virtual Tables - Build a Custom Provider

Jim Novak

Principal Technical PM at Microsoft

Dataverse Virtual Tables is a platform capability allowing Model Driven App developers to provide a unified experience for multiple sources of data. This means that some of your data may reside in the Dataverse database while some may reside in external data sources.

The Virtual Tables solution ships with out of the box providers, but what if these providers don't quite fit your current solution requirements? We can build our own custom data provider for Virtual Tables that surfaces data from an external data source.

This session will provide a quick walk through of requirements dive right into building our own custom data provider for Virtual Tables. We review code behind the plugin events for Retrieve and Retrieve Multiple, demonstrate how to transform your data, and see the plugin surface data live in our Model Driven App.

Building reusable code libraries for extending Microsoft 365

Julie Turner

Partner/CTO Sympraxis Consulting, MVP

The SharePoint framework introduced 'libraries' as a project type, and although useful for very small development projects not ideal for bigger enterprise solutions and ALM strategies. This session is going to cover end to end building a library with standard web-based building blocks, using Azure Dev Ops to create a private code artifact, and then consuming that library and others together within a SharePoint framework solution while hosting the artifacts in an Azure CDN (or bundling it in if that's more appropriate). This is powerful reusability that allow you to manage the lifecycle of different components in a way that mimics all the other packages you might consume when building your solution.
