Office Locations

The Locations view lets you find colleagues by their physical office or work location. This is particularly useful in multi-office organisations when you want to know who else is based at a particular site. Click the Locations tab at the top of the web part to switch to this view.


Location cards

The locations view shows all offices/sites as cards. Each card displays:

  • Office name
  • City or country (if configured)
  • Number of people based there
  • Photo thumbnails of some members

Cards are sorted alphabetically, or by member count if your administrator has configured that preference.


Browsing a location

Click any location card to see all colleagues assigned to that office. From the location detail view you can:

  • Search for a person within that office
  • Select people for bulk actions
  • Open any person’s profile panel
  • Navigate back to the full locations list

How locations are determined

A person’s location comes from their Office attribute in Microsoft Entra ID (the officeLocation Graph property). If your administrator has configured a custom Locations SharePoint list, location names may be enriched with additional details like address, map links, or a location photo.

Admin note: Administrators can enrich location data — adding addresses, photos, and floor maps — using a SharePoint list. See Managing Locations.

Tips

  • If an employee does not appear under any location, their Office field in Entra ID is likely empty.
  • For remote or home-based workers, you may want to create a “Remote” location entry in Entra ID.
  • Location data refreshes live from Graph — no manual sync needed.
