Requirements

The Anniversary widget uses information from your Entra ID to display a list of new arrivals. It calculates professional anniversary dates based on the "Employee hire date" property filled in the Entra ID for all your employees.

Employee Hire Date in the Entra ID portal

For the automatic display of professional anniversaries, it is essential that the Entra ID administrator responsible for creating new accounts in your company accurately fills in this property for each created account.

This property can be updated either manually or automatically through the processes you establish to manage the onboarding of new team members.
