Good afternoon, Mark

Not Mark?

Happy birthday

Priya, Sydney - 07:40 there

Good morning, Priya

Tobias, Berlin - 18:30 there

Good evening, Tobias

3 years today

Same page, same settings, nothing configured per person Each viewer's own clock, name and date format

The bit everyone else gets wrong

Your directory is not as tidy as you think.

Mark Berry - Glow Cloud Solutions → Mark

Berry, Mark → Mark

Dr Jane Smith-Jones (Contractor) → Jane

jsmith@contoso.com → no name, just the greeting

And when it still gets somebody wrong, they can fix it themselves in one click - kept in their own browser, never sent anywhere.

A home page that knows who is looking at it

Small on the page. Noticed every morning.

It knows what time it is for them

Good morning, afternoon or evening, worked out from the viewer's own clock - so Sydney gets its morning while London gets its afternoon, from one web part on one page. The wordings are yours and the boundary hours are sliders, because a shift pattern and an office do not agree on when evening starts.

Names that survive real tenants

Display names are messy: "Mark Berry - Glow Cloud Solutions", "Berry, Mark", "Dr Jane Smith-Jones (Contractor)". Greetings strips the employer suffix, the bracketed aside, the honorific and the post-nominals, and undoes lastname-first, before taking the given name.

It would rather say nothing than say it wrong

When a display name gives it nothing to work with - an account named after a mailbox, say - it drops the name and greets without one. A greeting that is quietly wrong is worse than a greeting that is short.

Each person can correct their own name

A quiet "Not Mark?" link lets the viewer set what they want to be called, stored in their own browser and never sent anywhere. A page property can only ever set one name for everybody, which is the opposite of what a personal greeting needs.

Birthdays and work anniversaries

Read from the same staff list the Directory provisions and Cheers reads - one row, only today, only the person looking. "Happy birthday, Mark" on the home page, from data your tenant already has.

A welcome for new starters

For their first few days a new starter gets a welcome instead of the usual line, using the same start date the anniversary uses once a year. You choose how many days and what it says.

Nine designed looks, no typography controls

Plain, solid, soft tint, gradient fade, two colours, side rule, underline, card with accent bar, and photo - each theme-aware, each working out its own text contrast. There is deliberately no font size, style, colour, alignment or CSS unit picker.

An optional second line

Off by default. Today's date in the viewer's own regional format, or a message that rotates daily - each with an optional start and end date so it appears and retires on its own, or read from a list when content authors should own the words.

Nothing to configure to be useful

Drop it on the page and it works: a time-aware greeting and the right name, with no list, no setup and no permissions. Everything else is opt-in.

Birthdays and anniversaries come from the same staff list the Directory provisions and Cheers reads, so a tenant already running either has nothing new to set up. Work anniversaries need a start date column, and the settings pane will add it for you.

No Graph permissions. No admin consent. No tracking.

Greetings asks for no Microsoft Graph permissions at all, so there is nothing for an administrator to approve. The name and regional format come from the page itself, and the birthdays list is read as the signed-in person - so everyone sees exactly what their own permissions already allow. Nothing about who views the page is recorded or sent anywhere, and a viewer's own name correction never leaves their device.

Questions

Greetings FAQ

Does the Greetings web part need Microsoft Graph permissions?

None at all. There is nothing for an administrator to approve. The person's name and regional format come from the page itself, and the birthdays list is read over SharePoint as the signed-in person, so everyone sees exactly what their own permissions already allow.

How does it get each person's time of day right?

It reads the viewer's own clock, so one web part on one page greets Sydney with its morning while London gets its afternoon. You set the three wordings and the two boundary hours, or turn the time off entirely for a single fixed greeting.

Our display names are messy. Will it get names wrong?

It strips employer suffixes, bracketed asides, honorifics and post-nominals, and undoes lastname-first, so "Mark Berry - Glow Cloud Solutions" and "Berry, Mark" both greet Mark. When a name gives it nothing to work with it drops the name rather than guessing, and each person can correct their own name in one click, stored only in their own browser.

Where do birthdays and work anniversaries come from?

The same staff list the Directory provisions and Cheers reads, so a tenant already running either has nothing new to set up. Only the person viewing the page is looked up, and only for today. Work anniversaries need a start date column, which the settings pane can add for you.
