What are the prerequisites? How does it work?
The weather web part can be configured to automatically retrieve and display real-time weather updates from a SharePoint list that contains a list of locations. It can also be personalized to send email or Teams alerts to your colleagues in the event of severe weather forecasts.
What are the specific features of the weather webpart?
1. Automatic Location Detection
- When a user accesses the webpart, it prompts them to enable location services.
- If the user agrees, the webpart automatically retrieves and displays weather information based on their current geographic location.
- Email or Teams alerts can be configured in the event of severe weather forecasts.
2. Manual Location Selection with Searchable Input
- If the user declines the location request, the webpart offers an alternative.
- It provides a searchable input field where users can type and select a specific location from an extensive database, making it easy to find any place without scrolling through a long dropdown list.
3. User Preference Memory
- The webpart remembers the user's location preferences for future visits.
- This means users don't have to reselect their preferred location each time they access the webpart.
4. Default Location Setting
- Users have the option to set a default location.
- This feature is particularly useful for those who consistently want weather updates from a specific area, regardless of their current geographic location.
5. Responsive Design
- The webpart is optimized for various devices, ensuring a seamless user experience on desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
- It adapts to different screen sizes and orientations, maintaining functionality and aesthetics across platforms.
- Customizable according to your branding and theme colors.
