About People view

The People view helps you connect with anyone in your organization—whether you're looking for someone on a specific team or trying to remember a new person's name.

At first glance, it might look like a digital photo wall. but it’s much more than that. People is a flexible, searchable directory that can be adapted to a user’s needs.

At a glance

Find people: Use filters to quickly narrow the view by department, role, location, project team, and more. The sort or layout can also be changed to get the view just right.

You can also apply Smart Lists to save and return to frequently used filters (more on that below). Learn more about how to use Search and Filters to find people here.

Connect with people: Click on someone’s profile picture to:

• Direct message them (if your organization has Discussions enabled)
• Send a Shout-Out to recognize a coworker’s great work in the Activity feed
• View in Teams (if enabled) to see their place in your org chart

Smart Lists in People view

Smart Lists allow users to save commonly used filter and sort preferences in the People view.

When you open People, Smart Lists will be shown in the left panel in two sections:

• Default system-managed lists are in the top section, and
• My Smart Lists will show all personally saved Smart Lists.
