Have you ever wondered to have a link on user name that navigates to their Delve page?
Well there's a solution. It works on SharePoint Online.
Requirement: A SharePoint page in SharePoint Online that displays lists users of the current site with their permission levels. End user should have the ability to view the user's Delve page.
Solution: Delve has several Query string properties.
https://delve.office.com/?<properties>
u = user id
v = delve sections (eg: v=work or v=profiledetails)
p = email id
By default, when you navigate to Delve page, it uses the parameter "u". I feel it is bit difficult to fetch user ID (guid) than email ID. Therefore we can use the parameter "p".
Note: You cannot use full email address. It should be user's login name.
Let us assume the user from xyz organization.
User: John doe
Login name: jdoe@xyz.com
Full email: John.Doe@xyz.com
Then the Delve url for John would be
https://delve.office.com/?p=jdoe@xyz.com&v=work
https://delve.office.com/?p=<user's login name>&v=work
Hope you find it useful ! :)

Strangely those links do not work (form me at least) when inserted in a Office Document (Work, Excel ...), launched from there and when default browser is not MSIE. One get redirected to https://delve.office.com/
ReplyDeleteBut the problem is the same with native dvelve urls, using UID instead of email
