Hi, on our intranet (modern sharepoint site) we'd like to have an employee directory. i showed delve to my management but they don't like the fact that there are all files and other infos showing up as well. is there a way to have a simple "who's who" ? i checked and found ways to create it with custom pages but not on modern pages... any advise ? :)Solved98KViews3likes39CommentsEmbed WebPart: display list view from another website
Hello, I am trying to display a certain list view from another website with the Embed WebPart in a modern page. The URL format for a dedicated list view is as usual: https://bayware.sharepoint.com/sites/REPortal/Lists/LegalEntities/30%20Items%20view.aspx?viewid=316ce30f%2Dc3af%2D4905%2D9ced%2D79aac6227bfd The issue is, that the Embed WebPart displays the list but ignores the parameter viewid in the URL. So the default view is shown in the Embed WebPart. Any suggestions to solve this? Thanks, André9.4KViews0likes3CommentsGet column position of webpart modern SharePoint page
Who could help me? For some good reason I have to get the column and section of an existing webpart that I want to use later in my Powershell script. Now I can easily get the section and use it again. But I cannot get the column as a variable. I already tried it as you see below with a substring or a split. But I noticed that different results came back at different sites. So again, who knows the solution for me?Solved2.5KViews0likes4CommentsModern list - Filters issue with more than 7 views
This may be a potential bug... Filtration pane doesn't apply filter to selected view instead it picks first view where user was landed when navigated to custom list. I have list with 7 or more views, the links for these views are added in quick launch, default view is allitems.aspx. Noticed that when user navigates to any of the custom views using links from left navigation and applies filter, the filter will switch view back to previous view(where user came first time when navigated to list). Elaborating with example: viewallitems.aspx View1.aspx view2.aspx view3.aspx view4.aspx view5.aspx view6.aspx view7.aspx User navigates to custom list with allitems.aspx, user chooses view6.aspx and applies filters, the list view selection changes back to allitems.aspx instead of retaining view6.aspx with *. However, at this point if I refresh page then results and selected view are shown correctly. Number of views can be less or more, I have observed issue with 7 views. List with 3 custom views works as expected. I'm guessing, it could be something to do with page refresh and partial post back when number of views are greater than x(7)!804Views0likes0CommentsHelp me adhere to best practices. Please!
I'm an Office 365 deployment engineer with 15 years of professional experience advocating and implementing Microsoft's cloud offerings. I've always seen the vision that the company had laid out, even when I didn't agree. But I am having difficulties with the modern SharePoint infornation architecture. I hope I just have blinders on and am missing something obvious. Here is a very common scenario for clients I work with. A law firm has 10 attorneys, each with specialized areas of practice: civil, criminal, litigaton, business law, family law etc. For each area of practice an attorney does work, they have a set of documents that they use for templates, research etc. The firm itself also has it's own IT department, HR department, and firm legal department. The firm has clients, lawyers have clients individually or sometimes a couple of attorneys will share a client. Some clients may have 1 case that has one attorney. However some cases might have 10 clients and 3 attorneys (class action for example). Also some clients may have 300 cases with 1 attorney and some may have 300 cases with 4 different attorneys. To make things more complicated, a firm may have a case where 1 attorney has a conflict of interest requiring a "Chinese Firewall". Also add in paralegals, secretaries and other support staff. I've had no issues creating this structure for years with the traditional site collection heirarchy. It's actually been a dream of a platform. However I am completely lost as to how I could possibly duplicate this in the modern flat site world. It's very common for a small firm as described above to have 3-5,000 active cases for 1000 clients. Add to this another 10-50,000 archived cases and 5,000 clients. Some of which have 5 documents others that have thousands spanning 10 years. How is this supposed to work? If it was a small one or two partner firm I could theoretically use the client as the hub site. And each case could be a site assigned to that hub, but that doesn't make sense because a case will never not be associated with that client. And we run into issues really fast as soon as the firm has 201 clients. As that's the ceiling for hub sites. So I think okay we'll make the attorney the hub site and a client site an associated site. But then how do I separate different cases for clients that have 500 active cases. Some of these cases have thousands of documents. Some require permission firewalls for some cases. I could create a document library for each case, but there is no way to link custom lists and libraries to individual document libraries that I am aware of without custom development that is beyond the scope of what I am comfortable doing for such a key business solution. Espescially when this was easily handled in the old setup. I thought about creating a hub for each legal specialty, but again I'm left with the situation where client sites would be a freaking disaster. I just do not see a way in which this can work in a cohesive understandable manner. This is the abridged version by the way. I haven't even talked about workflows, retention policies, disposition of records. If there was a way to nest hub sites, this could be viable if the hub site limit wasn't 200. I just feel like unless I'm missing something, I'm stuck with the classic SharePoint for the time being. I cannot be the only one who is facing this dilemma ? I don't see any focus on addressing this in the road map and I don't see any talk about this from my contacts at MS except for to say subsites are the devil. I have a reputation for providing clients solutions that are viable and will be supported into the future. And seeing things that were introduced in SharePoint 2013 already being classified as deprecated is a big red flag. Don't get me wrong. For other clients and business models I absolutely love the new modern design and implementation. And I'm selling it and hoping it wherever possible. I hope I'm just oblivious to something, I admit to sometimes being unable to look outside of my comfort zone and jumping to a "sky is falling" mentality.1.8KViews0likes3CommentsSharePoint "Modern" user interface experience for all sites
We want to convert all SharePoint Online sites from Classic to Modern interface and for that , we have already run "SharePoint.UIExperience.Scanner". Now, we see multiple issues with thousands of sites/lists/libraries. Is there any other tool available which can remediate those issue ?1.9KViews0likes3Comments
