What is the Microsoft Cloud? 

The Microsoft Cloud is a secure platform that includes:

• Pre-built solutions (e.g. Office 365 Exchange, SharePoint, Skype for Business, Azure IoT, Power BI, etc.),
• Infrastructure (e.g. Azure virtual machines, storage, etc.)
• Services (e.g. Azure web apps, mobile apps, SQL database, machine learning, etc.)

These offerings can be assembled to provide a scalable and complete collaboration suite with the potential to transform the way teams work. With the cloud, high-performance computing and agility help businesses expand their growth quickly.

What does it take to become Gold Cloud Productivity Certified?

To become a Microsoft Gold Cloud Productivity certified partner, DMC had to provide evidence of its expertise in this area, which includes deploying a minimum of 4,000 users of Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Skype for Business, Yammer, and Office ProPlus. 

Additionally, two DMC engineers passed rigorous Microsoft cloud and hybrid implementation exams focused on managing identities & authentication, as well as deploying Office 365 services. 

Finally, DMC had to provide references from a minimum of five customers within the previous 12 months from customers whom we provided solutions based on the products and technologies associated with Cloud Productivity.

There is one key difference, which if you do not complete, your color code icon will not display. The new step is to change the list web part to a style of Basic Table instead of Default.  Follow these simple updated steps and you will be color coding lists on Office 365 in no time!
Here is a list of available colors.

Watch the video tutorial:

• Step 1 – Create a “Status Indicator” column in your list. This column can either be calculated using other data within the list or selected manually upon creation.

Example:

=IF(OR(Status=”Not Started”,Status=”Deferred”),”Yellow”,IF(OR(Status=”In Progress”,Status=”Complete”),”Green”,IF(Status=”Waiting on Someone Else”,”Red”)))

• Step 2 – Create a “Status” column that is a calculated value. The output is a single line of text. Copy and paste this into the calculated field:

=”<DIV style=’font-weight:bold; font-size:50px;margin-top:-30px; color:”&[Status Indicator]&”;’>•</DIV>”

• Step 3 – Add the list to your web part or wiki page
• Step 4 – Edit the web part to show the Status column and change the Style to Basic Table
• Step 5 – Add a Content Editor Web Part directly underneath the List/Task Web Part
• Step 6 – In 2010 and 2013, you will need to load the below code to a location on your site in a text file and point the content editor to the location. In 2007, you can copy and paste the below code into the content editor settings box itself.

<script type="text/javascript">
  //
  // Text to HTML
  //
  var theTDs = document.getElementsByTagName("TD");
  var i = 0;
  var TDContent = " ";
  while (i < theTDs.length) {
    try {
      TDContent = theTDs[i].innerText || theTDs[i].textContent;
      if ((TDContent.indexOf("<DIV") == 0) && (TDContent.indexOf("</DIV>") >= 0)) {
        theTDs[i].innerHTML = TDContent;
      }
    } catch (err) {}
    i = i + 1;
  }
  //
  // ExpGroupRenderData overwrites the default SharePoint function
  // This part is needed for collapsed groupings
  //
  function ExpGroupRenderData(htmlToRender, groupName, isLoaded) {
    var tbody = document.getElementById("tbod" + groupName + "_");
    var wrapDiv = document.createElement("DIV");
    wrapDiv.innerHTML = "<TABLE><TBODY id=\"tbod" + groupName + "_\" isLoaded=\"" + isLoaded + "\">" + htmlToRender + "</TBODY></TABLE>";
    var theTBODYTDs = wrapDiv.getElementsByTagName("TD");
    var j = 0;
    var TDContent = " ";
    while (j < theTBODYTDs.length) {
      try {
        TDContent = theTBODYTDs[j].innerText || theTBODYTDs[j].textContent;
        if ((TDContent.indexOf("<DIV") == 0) && (TDContent.indexOf("</DIV>") >= 0)) {
          theTBODYTDs[j].innerHTML = TDContent;
        }
      } catch (err) {}
      j = j + 1;
    }
    tbody.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapDiv.firstChild.firstChild, tbody);
  }
</script>

    var theTBODYTDs = wrapDiv.getElementsByTagName("TD");
    var j = 0;
    var TDContent = " ";
    while (j < theTBODYTDs.length) {

          theTBODYTDs[j].innerHTML = TDContent;
        }
      } catch (err) {}
      j = j + 1;
    }
    tbody.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapDiv.firstChild.firstChild, tbody);
  }
