The Lightning Conductor is a powerful and versatile content aggregation tool designed for SharePoint and Microsoft 365. It allows users to effortlessly consolidate and display content from multiple SharePoint sites, lists, libraries, Microsoft 365 sources (including Planner via Microsoft Graph), search results, and even external data (like SQL through External Graph Connectors) into a single, unified view. With its intuitive interface and flexible configuration options, the Lightning Conductor enables users to build dynamic, customized reports and dashboards that provide a comprehensive overview of their data. It supports advanced filtering, sorting, grouping, and conditional formatting capabilities to present information exactly as needed, without requiring complex coding or technical skills. This no-code solution enhances productivity by reducing the need to navigate between different sites and lists, improves visibility across projects, and facilitates informed decision-making by providing quick access to critical information. It also supports seamless aggregation of document libraries from various sources like sites, site collections, hubs, Microsoft 365 Groups, Teams, or OneDrive, streamlining content discovery. Furthermore, Lightning Conductor web parts can be linked for interactive experiences, such as displaying document previews or dynamically filtering content based on user selections. It also offers a modern side panel for in-context viewing and editing, allowing users to stay engaged with their work without navigating away from the current page. Various display options, including customizable grid views, JSON/Adaptive Card support, and responsive calendar views, ensure content is presented effectively. The tool integrates seamlessly with Viva Connections and Hub Sites for unified news aggregation and provides granular control over aggregation methods, including Client-Side Object Model for real-time data and search-based aggregation for performance.
