Use the Anniversaries web part to celebrate employees’ major milestones and anniversaries.

Click the Manage Anniversaries button which will open Anniversaries list.

In this list you need to provide a list of people and their anniversaries like this:

  • Title: This field is mandatory by SharePoint but is not used by the web part - so you can enter anything in it
  • Person: This is the AD username for each employee whose anniversaries you want to track
  • Anniversary Type: is a Choice field with “Birthday” and “Work Anniversary”. You can add your own choices by going to list settings.
  • Date: Is the initial date of event (for example hire date or birth date). The web part will list employees each year and month when their anniversary is due. For example, if my hire date is entered as February 1 2022, in February 2023 my name will show up in the list of anniversaries.

Save your list entries and the web part will pick them up on the next page load.
