SharePoint Search Health Check
Documents not showing up in search results? The problem could stem from your search index. Our app identifies and rectifies these issues, and delivers a report to prevent future discrepancies. This is crucial for optimal functionality in Navigator 365, Microsoft Search, and Copilot, ensuring all documents are fully searchable and accessible.
Folder Search Document Library App
The Folder Search App enables seamless navigation through folders and document libraries within a site. Easily access the app from the document library toolbar by clicking the "Folder Search" button. Open the Folder Search panel to quickly locate and navigate to the desired folder with just one click.
Microsoft Teams
In Microsoft Teams, end-users typically work within channel contexts, which can create silos. This setup works well for a few teams and channels but becomes unwieldy as users gain access to more channels and teams. Accessing documents poses additional challenges, as it requires switching to the Files tab within a channel.
Navigator 365 enhances the document-centric experience in Microsoft Teams by offering:
- A unified workspace to view and navigate documents across channels, teams, and SharePoint sites.
- Display of new and updated documents from teams, channels, and SharePoint.
- Customizable dashboards that aggregate content from selected teams, channels, and sites.
- Improved data and document discoverability.
- Taxonomy-driven navigation for documents.
Personal App / Dashboards
Navigator 365 Personal App empowers organization to create shared dashboards for target users and groups, and allows users to create personalized private dashboards, offering the ability to:
- Shared "Common" boards help users to quickly access important document (i.e. Human Resources, Safety, Policies & Procedures, etc.) both on desktop and mobile.
- Efficiently aggregate documents from chosen teams, channels, and sites, enabling custom "themed" dashboards (e.g., IT, HR, Project X).
- Organize data by teams, channels, folders, sites, contributors, managed metadata, enterprise keywords, and more.
- Instantly view new or updated documents and team contributions.
- Consolidate data from various Microsoft Teams and SharePoint sites on a single screen.
- Effortlessly discover and navigate through documents across multiple repositories.
- Search and refine aggregated data for a tailored experience.
