Discover How to Streamline Your Company's Employee Directory with Power Apps 

This was a great video - just wondering how you can also retrieve an employees photo in the flow so that it is available in the App. Thanks!

hello Laura, i have a little issue here, i'm building a birthday app and i have a sharepoint list hooked up to the app, but i want to use the Office 365 connector for the Image alone, but it gives a "This formula uses scope, which is not presently supported for evaluation." error. Any help on that?

Hi Laura, I did not get the "value" Field in the Filter array. And every Time I test ist I get the Message: "The value of the from property in the inputs for the query action is of type "String". The value must be an array." That I have to do? Thanks for your answer.

hi laura... very good video. i am new to powerapp... kindly let me know how you created the grouping control

Hi Laura, thank you for the video. Very helpful. Have you found a way to include the current "Status" of an employee somehow? E.G. Available, Busy, Away, etc. like in MS Teams? Thanks again!

Can we run powerapps in Android studio?

Hi Laura. That's a great idea. But I can allow the user to add information to their profile. Because the fields JobTitle, phone, manager, department... are not filled. Would it be possible for the user to do this?

Hi Laura, great show as usual. Learned a lot of new things. A question though - Can we not use others Office 365 resources for People search and for user profiles, eg. Delve? or People Search in SharePoint Online?

Laura, Great video, thank you for spending the time putting it together. My tenant has over 10,000 users and we would like to include filters in our Employee Directory where you can select a CompanyName from a drop down and return all the users with that CompanyName. I'm hitting the 999 limit within PowerAPps and even upped it to 2000 and still have issues getting all the users returned. Is there a solution for this so PowerApps can be our Employee Directory with filtering options or are we just too big of an organization to use this solution?

Hi Laura, I've been following you for a few years now. First and foremost, you are very helpful and a lifesaver! Especially for this particular topic. I have been wrecking my brain all week trying to accomplish a secondary "employee directory" for a client that wants a SP list for displaying an employee directory that updates automatically. So thank you for sharing these tips. My only question is, how do you create a trigger, deletion, and restart the flow process based on a daily trigger? My client is requesting to refresh the list daily. Although, that seems like overkill. I'm thinking weekly is more efficient. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Laura, this an amazing video, thanks for the full step-by-step. I’ve built my own following this and everything works and looks great - the only issue I have is sharing this app for the rest of our users to use. The main goal is to add this to our Sharepoint site as an app, but they get permission errors when attempting to access this app and then view the user info/data. How to I extend the permissions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

HI Laura I need to ask you that how do I select a particular employee and change its infomation ?

Hi Laura! I love your channel! I learn so much every time I visit! I know this Power Hour video (Discover How to Streamline Your Company's Employee Directory with Power Apps) is older, but it's very relevant to a task I've been handed at work. I need to create an employee directory with the basic functions as shown in this video (but more like a switchboard); however, I want to show the user's Teams status (e.g. Available, Away, Out of Office etc.), preferably with a dynamically updated icon like in Teams. Is this possible in Power Apps? Also, have there been any improvements to Power Apps since this video streamed that makes this whole process easier? Thanks in advance!

how would you make this iterate over direct reports until there were none? This example only lists employees who are direct report to the CEO, how would you loop through to then get the next level down, and the next, essentially listing out a full org chart of all those with a line manager

The content is really good, I confess that at some point I got lost and said: Wait a minute we are talking about a form and suddenly we jump to a workflow? I have a few questions: What is the advantage of generating a list instead of using active directory information? Once the form is ready, how do you convert it into a webpart and import it into SharePoint? I have a list of people where the birthday and anniversary are, is it possible to use something similar to create two webparts and post them on the SharePoint homepage? Would I have to create a flow to filter for birthdays and anniversaries or can I do it from the same form? Actually, it occurs to me that I can use a single form and by parameter tell it if I want to see the anniversary or the birthday. Could you help me with that? Thank in advance.

I can’t get photos to come

Hi, i was just wondering how I would get the directory to show all the people's on the front page sorted on department. Is there any way to do this?

Literally came here for a way to have 365 users on a list. 30 mins in we’ve got a canvas app with a search field and email to user functionality. It can’t be this hard to make a list.
