Simple configuration
Choose how each celebration appears
The Anniversaries web part can show today's anniversaries, those coming in the next week, and those due in the next six months, with each section active by default and individually renamable. For every colleague you can display their Microsoft 365 photo, name and surname, the date, and a milestone line such as "Celebrates 27 years." Toggles let you hide the card background, adjust shadow style, switch the years span on or off, and set a custom "no items" message.
Automatic data sources for birthdays and anniversaries
Work anniversaries sync automatically from the Azure AD "Hire Date" field, with configurable recurrence such as every year, every 5 or 10 years, or custom intervals. Birthdays come either from a bulk import of dates or from synchronization with the My Profile component, where colleagues enter their own date and mark it visible. A "Hide person" option in the Birthdays list lets anyone opt out, keeping the section accurate and respectful of privacy.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the Anniversaries web part get its dates from?
Work anniversaries are synced automatically from the Azure AD "Hire Date" field, so they stay current without manual upkeep. Birthdays come either from a bulk import of dates or from synchronization with the My Profile component, where each colleague enters their own birth date and chooses whether to make it visible to others.
Can colleagues choose not to appear in the birthdays section?
Yes. The Birthdays SharePoint list includes a "Hide person" feature that lets individuals opt out of being displayed. In addition, birthdays sourced through the My Profile component are only shown when the person has manually marked their date as visible to colleagues.
Which time periods can the web part display?
The component includes three sections, all active by default: today's anniversaries, those occurring in the next week, and those due within the next six months. Each section can be renamed with a custom title, and you can adjust the number of cards shown, toggle the full date, and set a custom message for when there are no items to display.
Can users interact with the people being celebrated?
Yes. Colleague photos are clickable and can be configured to open the person's personal profile, either in the current or a new tab, or to start a Microsoft Teams chat. The Teams chat link can include a pre-set message, making it easy for colleagues to send congratulations directly from the intranet.
