Integrating Outlook into SharePoint site
Is it possible to integrate a users Outlook into a SharePoint site? Instead of having to have Outlook open in a separate window?
- Fairly certain this isn't possible Tim. There are no Outlook webparts for instance available for SharePoint pages. Only possible solution I can think of would be a Flow that took emails to a mailbox and created them as list items, that you then displayed on a SharePoint page. But they wouldn't be 'emails', they'd just be text messges, you'd still need to open Outlook to actually do anything with them. Is there a specific reason someone at your place wants to do this?
Wow! That's a great looking homepage. Are those custom icons you used for the Quick Links or are they included in SharePoint?
So is the top menu bar (IT Support, HR Portal, etc) for Hub Sites?
and the bottom menu bar (Social, Trust Info, etc) the Sharepoint Site Menu?
Thanks! Those are standard built-in icons that SharePoint makes available. You can control the size and the layout (we've used Large Tiles), and the colour comes from the theme.
Re navigation that's right. The smaller top nav bar comes as soon as you designate a Hub site. We found that gave us the flexibility to move quite a few links (that were for completely other site collections, like IT, HR etc) that were cluttering up our site specific nav bar up to the hub site nav bar and then keep the standard larger nav bar as just for stuff that was Intranet specific. Really handy.

- Sounds good Tim. I'm on a course today but I'll message you and we can share screenshots and App ideas :)
Hey Paul, I really like what you have done with your intranet. I would love to see more screenshots of your work if you want to share. Also, if you are interested in seeing some PowerApps that I have created, I could send you some screenshots as well.
