Hi Juerg,
wouldn't it be great to look some days back either?

Jürgen,
you can use the "past"parameter to specify the number of days to look back.

Hi Juerg,

1. Is there support for the Hebrew language?
2. Is there is an option to send a birthday greeting -and edit a greeting in more than one template.

Thanks,
Uriel

Hi,
yes, the web part supports Hebrew (right-to-left).
You also can automatically send out e-mail greetings to your recipients (see the above configuration parameters relating to these e-mails).

Hi, Is there a way to configure the Every N Years Anniversaries for the SP2019 Modern version? Also, I'm having troubel with the css working. Ideally, we would like to be able to color code by milestone or apply a logo using this functionaliy (ie 5 years = red with an image of the number 5, 10 years in blue with an image of the number 10, etc. Thank you!

Also, is it possible to change the column headers (ie Seniority date shows as DOH) and format (3/11/2024 12:00:00 AM as March 11 or 3/11/2024 without timestamp)? This column is marked as a date only column. Thanks again!

Lisa,
to select the „Every N Years Anniversaries“ option, please enter

type=Every_N_Years_Anniversaries

into the web part’s „Configuration“ setting.

The web part by default expects the “Hire Date” column to be named "HireDate”.
If you want to use a different column to contain the hire date, then please add the below line to the web part’s “Configuration” setting:

options=hiredatecolumn=DOH

assuming that your column is named “DOH” in the above example.
The web part then will select the correct employees and also correctly format the date.
