SharePoint - Find the Right People

Find the right people

2 http://discoversharepoint.com/people

See what’s going on in your organization with the Newsfeed—share information, engage in conversations, and stay connected with people who share your interests.

Discover the newsfeed

3 http://discoversharepoint.com/people

Follow the people and topics you want, and your newsfeed will show you any posts they make as well as information related to those topics.

Follow what matters

4 http://discoversharepoint.com/people

Start a conversation, and choose whom you want to share it with. Only the people or groups you select will see the conversation in their newsfeed.

Spread the news

5 http://discoversharepoint.com/people

Use hash tags, like #Sales, to easily organize and label content related to that tag. Create new hash tags by posting them in a conversation, or let SharePoint make suggestions as you type.

Organize information with hash tags

Easily view the most used hash tags within your organization.

6 http://discoversharepoint.com/people

Tag someone with an “at mention,” like @Janet Schorr, in conversations to get their attention.

Connect with experts

As soon as you tag someone, SharePoint notifies them by email, as well as in their newsfeed under Mentions.

7 http://discoversharepoint.com/people

Community sites help organize conversations and identify people that can help.

Share your knowledge

8

Organize your communities even further by creating different categories for all the topics in a particular community.

The best-rated replies move to the top of a conversation, helping others find the most helpful answers quickly.

Get in on the discussion

10 http://discoversharepoint.com/people

Search for a particular topic, and then refine the results to find experts in that area with custom recommendations.

Hover over results to find out more about people—the skills they have or what projects and documents they’ve worked on.
