How to return furloughed staff to work

By ClearPeople on April 27, 2020

I know that we’re only just getting used to working in an environment where we’re all working remotely and some of our colleagues are furloughed or working reduced hours, but for those of us in an operations planning role, we have to try and look beyond the present to a time when those missing colleagues return to the workplace.

Private Groups not appearing in SharePoint Search

By Luis Mañez on April 21, 2020 in SharePoint, Microsoft Office 365

One of the main steps when provision Teams, is calling Microsoft Graph API, to, well, provision the Team. Although the Team was provisioned correctly, we realised that the Team (and therefore all the content related to the Team, like files in the SharePoint library) was not surfaced in the Office 365 search (or SharePoint search if you will).
