How does the "Recommended for Current user" work inside the News Web Part
john john Here is what Microsoft says about recommended for the current user: posts for the current user from people the user works with; managers in the chain of people the user works with, mapped against the user's own chain of management and connections; the user's top 20 followed sites; and the user's frequently visited sites. See: Use the News web part on a SharePoint page (microsoft.com)
SusanHanleythanks a lot for your very helpful reply.. i were reading some old posts which mentioned that recommended sites will only show sites that you follow... but seems now the criteria have been expanded..
My question now is:- What does "people the user works with" exactly mean? do u have any idea?
- It's people in your management chain and peers - you can get an idea of who they are by looking at your Delve profile, all powered by the graph.
SusanHanleyok thanks.. so let say i am inside the Finance Dept and another user is inside the HR dept.. and we are working on a project together.. so we created a Teams site and worked on some documents together,,, we were editing the same document + we are inside the same Office 365 group... so does this mean that me and the other user work together? although inside the Organization chart we do not share any upper management ?
- I think if your interaction is frequent enough, that person could definitely show up in your "works with" - at least that is what I see in the multiple tenants that I am a part of. I just don't usually choose Recommended for the current user on SharePoint sites because I want the experience to be more predictable. You already have a feed that is always "recommended for the current user" in the news feed in the app bar - so on intranet sites, I almost never choose that option.
