Overview
Search People within User Profiles and Azure AD
With Vitextra Employee Directory, you can use the SharePoint Search service and Azure AD as a data source for the App.
Searching users within User Profiles via Search Service makes it possible to use information from such particular fields as Interests, Skills, Office Location, and others
to search people not limited to just their name, email, or job title.
On the other hand, Azure AD as a data source for the employee directory allows you to hide employees from the search results if their accounts are disabled.
Microsoft Teams Integration
Employee Directory App can be placed right in Teams Channel to boost productivity by eliminating context switching.
Using Employee Directory in Microsoft Teams allows users to search for people with their mobile devices.
User Presence
Anyone in your organization with Employee Directory App can see (in nearly real-time) other users' presence status. Employee Directory uses Microsoft Graph to get this information regardless of the data source (User Profiles or Azure AD).
