New employees bulletin - another "People" webpart?

Copper Contributor

Hi

 

I would like to create a news post, to inform about the entry of new employees.

This should include: picture, name, jobtitle and a text description

 

Like the included "People" webpart in the descriptive view:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/show-people-profiles-on-your-page-with-the-people-web-part-...

--> The problem here, the descriptive view is not supportet on mobile,

--> On mobile browser nor in the SharePoint App (iOS)

--> It alway shows me the Compact view without the description

--> I cannot print the page because the description is cut off after 120 characters.

 

So i started experementing and formating with a SP list:

https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-list-formatting/tree/master/view-samples/contact-card-format

--> The problem here, if there are more than 10 entries in a list, they are displayed in a frame with a scrollbar.

--> it's terrible to use it on the desktop and on the phone.

 

Do you have an other idea or a better solition for this usecase?

@nubotronic  One easy way of doing this in order to get a great experience both on desktop and mobile is to simply create a News page.

Next time there comes one or more new employees it is easy to use the existing "New employee page" as a template for the new page.
