employee directory
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.

ChrisWebbTech Here is my template for the app. It's super simple really. Just import it in, then under App, put in your company name, assuming you use that attribute in AD, otherwise you'll have to go strip it from the gallery filters on the first screen on both galleries. Anyway, once Company Name is set on the Apps OnStart, make sure to run it after so it sets the variable. Then you can save and link to this App in your intranet. Append the &hidenavbar=true at the end of the App URL to strip the bar etc.
Anyway, you can easily tweak this, but you can get the idea how to do it from the App template and make it your own if you want to tweak the looks!
Anyway, hope this helps some of you, but I think it's a simple easy approach to a quick "Dynamic Employee Directory" with search and minimal information.
Thank you for a good advice using power app for this.
One question, does this require all users of the employee search to have a power app license?
Our users have E3 and F1 licenses
- Those licenses work just fine for PowerApps. This is just a built in O365 connector, nothing premium about it.
Thank you, ChrisWebbTech. I appreciate your work on this and your willingness to share it. I will likely end up just taking what you've made here.
That said, I have a simple bunch who prefer the least amount of info needed in the least amount of clicks so was hoping to stay right on the intranet (which I will look into doing) and forgo (or minimize) the images. So, visually like what is above, but continuously updating like the one you've got there.
That said, there is no perfect solution and yours comes the closest from what I can tell.
