Searching for Skills and Interests
We have been working with Microsoft Support on a number of Delve questions and queries relating to searching accross SharePoint, Office365 Video and People Info. We understand better what is indexed and when and how you can get around the current limitations within the product.
We now have a good way forward for our use of Delve but to address some specific People Search Limitations we have developed a simple PowerBI Dashboard that provides a simple method of searching and filtering People via skills.
This allows us a way to "show all First Aiders, Health and Safety or Union Reps" or filter users by departament and directorate. By going down the Power BI route we have been able to bring together AD, SharePoint and Yammer details and add options to send email messages and text messages direct from the dashboard. We are using this to develop a simple touch screen experience for our Reception Areas.
Is there a method of extracting URLS for User Profile pages in Delve?
This sounds fantastic Craig Stanley. Would there be any way to see a screenshot/snapshot of the dashboard without infringing any Privacy or IP? Did you develop this yourselves or outsource?

Just as a follow up to previous discussions we have used the following to present up a People / Skills type search experience.
The elements we have used are
- Power BI Report pulling in People data and Hierarchy from AD and O365
- A https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104381236?tab=Overviewwithin our Power BI Reports
- PowerApps to provide a home page and a locked down navigation and kiosk style experience navigating through a number of tiles.
This is allowing us to navigate and find People via teams, skills and also elements such as Union Rep, First Aider.
