SharePoint search not working
We have had Delve off in our environment. Yesterday we noticed that our SharePoint search wasn't working. Empty not suggestions and didn't do anything. It also wouldn't work searching within sites. However in other applications such as Teams, Outlook the search would work. We turned on Delve to see if it fixed issue and today the SharePoint search is working again. Was a change made with Graph and search? Has anyone else had similar behavior. When Delve was off, this search box was blank. It had worked previously until we pushed out a Microsoft Update yesterday. Then turning on Delve allowed the search in SharePoint to work again.
User photo showing up everywhere but SharePoint user profle
Hello. I'm aware there're many threads about SharePoint user profile pictures not showing in different ways. We've been facing an issue which I couldn't find a solution nor fix it myself. We're using Exchange Online and set user profile photos with a scheduled PowerShell script via Set-UserPhoto. This works as intended and the photo is showing everywhere, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, Delve etc. The only place where it doesn't show is in the SharePoint user profile service's user profile. You know, the /_layouts/15/tenantprofileadmin/ProfAdminEdit.aspx in the SharePoint admin center. The mysite collection where these pictures are supposed to be hosted contain the LThumb, MThumb and SThumb thumbnail placeholders but not the actual photos. As far as I understand the logic is that when using EXO a user has to browse his Delve profile page which will trigger a sync to the SharePoint user profile - not so for us. I've experimented with the two settings that should have an effect on this sync mechanism: - SPS-PictureExchangeSyncState - SPS-PicturePlaceholderState As far as I interpret those settings SPS-PictureExchangeSyncState means that unless this is enabled not photos can be pulled from EXO and an admin has to manually upload a photo in the user profile service. SPS-PicturePlaceholderState I think indicates whether or not a picture has been set if it's 0 and set if it's 1 but I'm not sure if it's the other way around. Anyway, apart from manually setting the picture here it's not pulling from EXO. If anyone knows anything I'd appreciate your comments. Thanks.Delete Boards in Delve
Is there any way to delete a Delve Board that I've created, or modify its name? I know I can "unfollow" it and remove its contents, but what if I want it to just be deleted, or made a typo in its name? Example: Employee A creates a "Clients" Board and puts their client stuff in it. Now Employee B wants a "Clients" Board, but now that name is taken and it looks like we can't rename Employee A's Board. Example: HR named a board "Payrole". Are we just stuck with this? We can't fix the spelling? Should I be proactive and create "common" Board names to avoid this situation?How redirect clicking on user to Delve
Hi everyone, I have an issue with SP Online, where clicking on User name will redirect me to the old mysite page (https://{tenantname}-my.sharepoint.com/PersonImmersive.aspx?accountname={accountname}) In all the other tenants I will be redirected to Delve profile page. How can I accomplish redirecting user links to Delve not MySite? Any help is much appriciated MihkelSharePoint Employee Directory Links to Delve Not Working Correctly
Hello, One of my clients has a simple classic SharePoint online employee directory using SharePoint people search results. When you click on a user's name in the search results, it should take you to their delve profile. However, when I click on users that have not been opened in the browser before, the frame of the delve page loads, but the content for that user does not load - it only presents a white screen where the profile should be displayed. This is also the result for the OOTB SharePoint people search results page with no customization. What's really weird: when I refresh that same delve page, the profile loads perfectly - no change in URL - just a refresh. Then, if I were to open that same users from the search results page, the delve profile loads fine, which make me think there is some weird caching behavior going on behind the scenes. The link to the user's profile on the search result page is generated as: https://tenantname-my.sharepoint.com/Person.aspx?accountname=i%3A0%23%2Ef%7Cmembership%7Cjdoe%40companyemail%2Enet The above link then opens the delve profile link, automatically formatted as: https://nam.delve.office.com/?u=6dfce679-0101-4d32-9828-f40139d1fb15&v=work This is the exact same link format that the OOTB people search results page uses, and the result is exactly the same. I've had multiple users experience the same results across multiple browsers, and I have experienced the same behavior across multiple tenants. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, or is a bug? Thanks! Joe
Third party Apps which can allow us to create an Org chart which have multiple roots
I am working on sharepoint online site and we need to show our org chart inside a modern page, which reads the data from sharepoint User Profile service. but in our case our customer have multiple roots (3 CEOs) , as those 3 users own the company, and they do not have direct manager. now i found a great app named https://plumsail.com/sharepoint-orgchart/ but the only issue is that it does not support having more than one root, they offer a workaround by creating a fake manager and dynamically hide it inside the org chart, but our customer did not accept to create a fake manager inside AD and hence inside SP user profile. now i know that SP does not provide out of the box Org chart capabilities to show the full org chart inside a modern page,, so my question if anyone know a 3rd party app which can allow us to build an Org chart which have 3 roots (3 CEOs)? ThanksMetadata-driven navigation and Synonyms
I'm working on a metadata-driven, non-hierarchical model for intranet pages & architecture, rather than a rigid hierarchical structure. We will be using search to surface the right list of pages on a section Intro page, etc. To accomplish this we will be building some strong metadata fields for the pages. In the past life of MS Search and SharePoint, synonym support was provided by 3rd party solutions. Will the move to Bing solve this issue natively within the Office 365 ecosystem?? If the contributor populates the metadata fields with good, solid tags, without the synonyms--will the synonym functionality be resolved by Bing??
Getting a user's photo correctly in SharePoint Online
In a client-side solution, we often like to use our users photos in rollups, search results etc. and we were used to use this endpoint: /_layouts/15/userphoto.aspx?size=M&accountname=<accountName> This requires the user to have a photo in their User Profile - and it works like a charm. But after Delve arrived, we also have this new endpoint: /_vti_bin/DelveApi.ashx/people/profileimage?userId=<username/email> Our tests shows us, that even though the user has a picture in Delve, that last endpoint just shows a silhuet (eg. no available picture) for some users - not all. Our customer uses Delve and most of the users has a picture in Delve and not nessecary in the User Profile store as well. Does anyone have any experience and/or advice when using the DelveApi.ashx endpoint?
