### General

**What is Anniversaries?**

Anniversaries is a SharePoint web part that helps you celebrate employee birthdays and work anniversaries directly on your intranet. It surfaces upcoming milestones in a clear, engaging format, helping teams stay connected and making recognition part of the everyday experience.

**Where can I use it?**

The web part can be added to any modern SharePoint Online page and is compatible with Viva Connections, allowing it to be accessed within Microsoft Teams.

**What types of events can be displayed?**

Anniversaries supports:

- **Birthdays**
- **Work anniversaries**

 You can display these together or separately, depending on your configuration.

**Is Anniversaries mobile-friendly?**

Yes. Anniversaries is fully responsive and works across desktop browsers, tablets and mobile devices.

---

### Configuration

**How do I set it up?**

The setup process follows the same simple logic as other Accelerator 365 apps.  
Ensure the API permissions are approved by a Global Administrator, then add the Anniversaries to your SharePoint page. See the full [Getting Started](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/anniversaries-getting-started?hsLang=en) guide for detailed instructions.

**What permissions are required for the app to function properly?**

To see which specific permissions are required for the app to be fully functional, visit the [Technical Details](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/anniversaries-technical-details?hsLang=en) page.

**Can I control which users are included?**

Yes. You can apply filters to ensure only relevant users are shown, such as:

- Active users only
- Excluding leavers or disabled accounts
- Filtering by user attributes

This helps maintain accurate and appropriate results.

**Can I use multiple web parts on the same page?**

Yes. You can add multiple instances of Anniversaries, each with its own independent configuration.

---

### Editing

**Can I control how many anniversaries are shown?**

Yes. You can define how many items appear in each section (e.g. Today, Next 7 days, Later this month), helping keep the layout clean and relevant.

**Can users filter for separate event types?**

Yes. Users can filter to:

- Show only birthdays
- Show only work anniversaries
- Display both together

**Can I highlight milestone anniversaries?**

Yes. You can configure how work anniversaries are displayed:

- Show every year
- Show milestone years only (using the default milestones or you can configure)

This allows recognition to align with company policies.

---

### Appearance

**Can I customize card appearance?**

Yes. You can:

- Choose card styles (Full or Compact)
- Select or customize background themes
- Enable or disable visual markers for event types
- Upload custom backgrounds

**Can I control what information appears on cards?**

Yes. You can map profile fields to card subtitles, such as:

- Job title
- Department

If data is missing, the layout remains stable and uses fallbacks where needed.

**Can I control which actions are available?**

Yes, you can define what kind of quick actions are available. You can enable or disable:

- Reactions
- Teams chat
- Email

This allows you to tailor the experience to your organization.

---

### Technical

**Where does the data come from?**

Anniversaries retrieves data from either, or a combination of:

- **Microsoft Entra ID**
- **Imported data sources**

This ensures information is always current and automatically maintained.

**How to import anniversaries using a CSV?**

You can import anniversaries into the Anniversaries app using a CSV file. This allows you to quickly upload multiple birthdays and work anniversaries in one go using a structured template. See [our guide](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/anniversaries-import-using-csv?hsLang=en) for detailed instructions.

---

### Licensing & Trial

**Is there a free trial available?**

Yes. A 60-day full-featured trial is available ([learn more here](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/getting-started/claim-a-free-trial?hsLang=en)).

**What happens when the trial ends?**

Once the trial expires, the app stops functioning until a valid license is applied; your configuration and data remain intact.
