The Staff Directory Web Part is the ultimate employee directory for SharePoint. Just drop it on a page and it'll connect to your SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2013, or SharePoint 2016 user profile store automatically. It's super fast (ask us how we did it ;) and it's used by many of the world's leading companies. Try the 30-day free trial, you'll love it!
SharePoint profile quick-view
When you need someone's contact number, you want it instantly.
That's why we built a SharePoint employee directory that's lightning fast and dead simple to use, so you can find who you're looking for quickly.
Employee profiles are displayed directly within the web part, instantly, so no more waiting for profile pages to load!
A choice of display modes
Keep it simple with the intuitive profile card display mode, or choose a traditional column-based display for your SharePoint employee directory, with configurable columns, sorting, field formatting and image preview.
More than just an employee directory
Now you can browse and search for offices, departments, locations, skills and job titles too! All of this is automatically pulled from the latest info in your colleagues user profiles.
Configurable profile display
Profile display fields are fully configurable, and as a SharePoint web part administrator you can choose from the more than 60 fields that are available in your employee directory. You can even display your own custom fields, mapped to SharePoint's user profiles via Active Directory.

Browse offices and departments
We've made it easy for you to find people by office or department. Simply select a business unit from the sidebar to show the people who work there.
The list is automatically constructed from your employee user profile data so there's no configuration involved in setting this up. It just works!
Employee quick-search
An alphabetical index helps you find people by name, but if you're quick on the keyboard you might want to use the search box instead.
It's super-fast, and exact or partial matches are highlighted. Offices, departments, locations, skills and job titles are also searchable.
Find people who know about?
We've built contextual filtering directly into the profile interface to help you find people based on what they know.
Want to see who worked on a certain project or who has knowledge
about a specific customer? Simply click that topic to find out.
Employee locations
Looking for colleagues in New York, Cape Town or Cottonshopeburnfoot?
Type a location into the search box and you'll find them.
TONS of display options
Your SharePoint intranet is unique, so we've given you numerous display options to tailor your SharePoint employee directory to your company's specifications.
Other key features
Super-easy to use
Beautiful, easy to use interface that anyone can understand.

Brilliantly quick
Search hundreds of thousands of user profiles instantly.
|
No configuration
Works straight out the box. Just drop it on a page!
