Our component is a digital resume integrated with Microsoft Viva, the platform dedicated to employee experience and sharing corporate information.
Our feature allows you to get to know your colleagues and showcase your education, skills, and interests to support the intranet's .
If your page is not already in edit mode, click Edit at the top right of the page.
Hover your mouse above or below an existing web part and you'll see a line with a circled +, like this:
Click on it and, in the web part search box, enter Profile to quickly find and select the My Profile web part, which is named "IAI - My Profile".
The layout settings allow you to customize the appearance of your application by adjusting various layout settings.
By opening this first configuration, you will see the following options:
Do you want to hide the background? You can choose to hide or display the webpart background The default setting is “No”. This means that, by default, the webpart is characterized by a white background. If you enable this option, the white card background will be completely removed, allowing the content appear directly on the page. As a result, the webpart will be transparent, showing either the selected background image or the chosen SharePoint page color.
Do you want to hide the background shadow? You can choose whether to show or hide the background shadow. The default setting is “No”. This means that, by default, the webpart is characterized by a subtle depth effect that can make the webpart stand out more against the rest of the page. If you enable this option, the shadow behind the background will be removed, giving the web part a flatter, cleaner look without any depth.
Select the type of background shadow: if you decide to set the background shadow, a further configuration will appear and you can select the style from High Contrast, Light, or Dark options.
If you select High contrast, this option creates a strong, bold shadow effect that provides a high level of contrast between the background and the content.
By choosing the Light background shadow, it will create a soft and subtle effect, giving a more delicate and gentle depth to the background.
Finally, the Dark background shadow style provides a darker, more intense effect, adding depth and emphasizing the background even more.
Do you want to hide the title? Here you can select whether to show the webpart title or hide it. If set to visible, the web part title will appear on the left side.
Enter the title of the application: thanks to this configuration, you can customize the application title. If you keep it blank, SharePoint will show the default title “My Profile” at the top left angle of the webpart.
Data source: select the People Directory data source, which can be either SharePoint or Graph. Since a SharePoint list can contain a maximum of 5,000 items, companies with more than 5,000 employees will be required to use Graph as the data source. For companies with fewer than 5,000 employees, the choice will be the SharePoint list of the people directory, which is synchronized daily with Azure AD contacts.
Choose the People Directory list.
Choose the badge categories list: select the Badge categories list.
Choose the people badge list: select the People badges list.
In this section, you should configure general options, such as selecting the fields to be displayed when clicking on a person's card, as well as other options related to the aesthetic aspects.
Open field configurator: you must configure the fields you want to display on the person’s card by clicking on Configure Fields.
By clicking on Configure Fields, the Collection data panel header will be opened, where you have to choose the fields you want to display.
Choose fields: you choose the field from your Azure AD you want to show on the page.
Insert field custom name: you type the name you want to be displayed for that section.
Click on the + button to add another line.
Here’s an example of that panel already configurated.
Always remember to click Save at the bottom of the page.
Then, if you want to add tags to appear in the skills, you can add them having previously set metadata: on this field you must insert the main taxonomy id (scores included). Alternatively, if you do not fill them in, the default ones are set up if you want to create tags to fill the skills and projects boxes.
Select the option where the profile picture is stored: Title.
Select the option where the user login name is stored: User Principal Name.
As the final configuration step, you can choose which boxes you want to display on the My Profile page. You can choose as many boxes as you like, and if there are some you are not interested in, you can simply uncheck them, so they will not appear on the page.
In this section, you need to choose whether or not to allow the person to change their image options.
Show presence: the first option allows you to show the user's Teams status next to his or her name. To activate this option, select Yes.
Disable profile picture editing: by putting a flag on this option, you can choose to allow the person to change his profile picture or not.
Disable editing of the cover: you can choose to allow the person to change his cover picture or not.
Disable tag editing: you can choose to allow the person to change his tag or not (tags are frames that surround the user's photo and allow the insertion of an inscription such as “hiring” or “open to work”).
Enter the URL of the cover that will be inserted by default: if you want to set up a single cover image for everyone, just upload the image to SharePoint and paste the link into this field. A preview image will be shown if you choose this option.
Show tag name: you can decide to show the name of the tag in the selection of tags to be applied to the profile picture.
Here you can customize the label of the buttons used to add information:

Insert the term store's unique id with the projects list inside (scores included).
Here you can choose the order of the information shown on the My Profile page. You can just drag and drop the tiles based on your choice.
You can personalize your image by adding a tag. Tags are frames that surround the user's photo and allow the insertion of an inscription such as “hiring” or “open to work”. To do this, you need to upload the images associated with the tag to the document library titled My profile tags. These images should have only the tag, with the rest of the image being transparent. This way, the tag can be overlaid onto your existing profile picture seamlessly.
With that option, the user can choose his own tag to his profile photo by clicking on:
Once everything has been filled in, the My Profile page looks as follows:
Each user can fill in all the chosen fields by clicking on each of them and entering personal information. By default, the information is flagged as visible; if the user does not wish to make certain fields visible, the flag has to be removed.
