We are happy to announce we have shipped v3 of the Property Manager Hero Demo to the OfficeDev repository on Github.com. We’ve had a lot of success with previous versions of this Hero Demo. This was demonstrated in our Office 365 kick off sessions at both the Build 2015 session and Ignite 2015 session. The demo was also showcased in the Integrating web apps with Office 365 and iOS, Cordova, and Android Apps with Office 365 sessions at Build 2015.
In Version 3, we updated the Property Manager Hero Demo to work with the GA version of the Microsoft Graph and fixed any associated breaking changes. We also enhanced the Property Manager Hero Demo to use the new functionality in the Microsoft Graph including the ability to create, read and update tasks in the plans for an Office 365 Group associated with a property/incident.
Here you can see the tasks displayed in the web app:
And here’s what the tasks look like in the out-of-the-box Plan page in Office 365:
We also incorporated Office UI Fabric components into the web application. We created persona cards for people in the members list and bound the persona cards to data obtained via the Microsoft Graph.
We also created and pop out cards for files in the OneDrive lists. The pop out cards showcase the new file thumbnail capabilities.
Here you can see a thumbnail for a .jpg image:
Here you can see a thumbnail for a Word document:
Version 3 also include updates to all of the mobile apps to ensure they work with the Microsoft Graph GA release. Other updates include fine-tuning the user interface of the web app and mobile apps, streamlining the installation process by automatically provisioning several components that previously were not able to be provisioned automatically, and updating all screenshots, .md installation instruction files, and the demo walk through slide deck.
Finally, we fixed the issue where installation could fail in certain versions of Internet Explorer and we refactored the provisioning code to make it easier to understand, simpler, and quicker by running on separate threads.
This cutting edge code sample continues to evolve and demonstrate the latest and greatest Office 365 technologies. So what are you waiting for? Check out the Property Manager the code samples directory.
We work hard to provide as many code samples as possible to help you develop your own apps. Please check out dev.office.com/code-samples for more!

In this episode, Jeremy Thake talks to Brendon Ford from Provoke Solutions on the Clause Library Word add-in that integrates with SharePoint Online.
The Clause Library app is a cloud-based information repository that can be accessed, searched, edited and retrieved directly from Microsoft Word. Whether you’re working on legal contracts, RFP/RFQ responses or sales proposal, your organization probably has certain phrases or clauses that are used repeatedly across multiple documents. After a painstaking review to get the perfect wording, it is difficult to ensure that information is always up-to-date and available for others.
Clause Library solves this problem, using the power of Office 365 and SharePoint Online:
Robust search functionality makes it easy to find the needed clause; with one click it can be added to the Word document you’re currently working in.
New clauses can be added and existing clauses can be edited in the central cloud-based library—all from within Word.
The library can easily be shared with approved people internal and external to the organization.
Professional service organizations such as law firms, management consultants, agencies and architects can benefit from Clause Library:
Attorneys can access the most current version of legal clauses while writing the contracts within Word.
Salespeople can develop formal proposals and statements of work utilizing corporate approved messaging.
Businesses can respond to Requests for Information (RFPs) quickly utilizing phrasing that helped win prior projects.
