How it works?
The Corporate Directory in SharePoint Online, powered by SharePoint Framework (SPFx), seamlessly integrates essential features to optimize user navigation and information retrieval. Users interact with an intuitive web interface, utilizing a robust search box that taps into the SharePoint Search API or Microsoft Graph API for comprehensive searches across Azure AD and SharePoint user profiles. The directory enhances accessibility with alphabetical navigation, allowing users to quickly filter results. Dynamic filters based on department, job title, and location offer further refinement. Results are presented in a visually appealing tile-based structure, showcasing key user details such as profile pictures, names, titles, cell numbers, and locations. Advanced logic filters out external users and service accounts, maintaining relevancy. Pagination ensures a manageable display of results, and a reset function enables users to seamlessly clear searches and filters. With adaptability at its core, the solution caters to organizational needs, providing a flexible and extensible platform for efficient user directory management.
