Hi matthieu2906,

There is excellent people and organization information in Office 365, with Contact Cards, Delve, Teams etc., but nothing "out of the box" with SharePoint will meet your needs. A 3rd party web part or custom solution would be in order.

If you are going custom, I think the SharePoint list formatting samples on GitHub are interesting - especially the User Profile Card.

I hope this helps.

We have deployed the search and refiners PNP wwebpart to provide a custom directory with search. You need to create your own layout to show People information using the handlebars template but it's reasonable easy to follow based on the example. Alternatively look at using Hyperfish as they have an A-Z webpart for the directory.

Alan Marshall Thanks for the suggestions. I tried the Hyperfish approach and unfortunately its built in old classic site and we are using a modern communication site, so they layout is completely different but we'll have to live with it. The mega menu links for example don't translate at all to the old classic site so that's another challenge (links below headers aren't even displayed). I understand the functionality to create the search templates doesn't exist in a modern site yet, as the web parts are all different. Its been a journey understanding two separate platforms for classic and modern and how sometimes they are joined functionally and how sometimes they are not.
