A people directory from the workforce data you already have

People Directory turns workforce data from the HR systems you already use into a searchable employee directory inside SharePoint. Feed it from a SharePoint list or CSV, map the fields you need, and give employees one place to find colleagues across departments, locations and roles.

Because the directory is driven by data you control, you are not limited to Microsoft Graph or Entra profile completeness. Employees, contractors and other external people can all be represented from the workforce data your organization actually maintains.

Search, filters and an A–Z directory over workforce data your organization controls.
Find

Find the right person quickly

Search across names, titles, departments and locations as you type, so employees can move from “who handles this?” to the right colleague without hunting through disconnected directories.

Explore

Browse the organization your way

Filter by department and location, move through the A–Z index, and narrow large directories without forcing employees to know exactly who they are looking for before they start.

Connect

Turn a profile into the next action

Open a colleague’s details, see their role and reporting context, then continue by email or Teams without leaving the directory experience.

People data

Show useful context without oversharing

Surface the workforce details employees need while keeping sensitive fields out of the experience. Tenure can appear as a range, external people can be clearly identified, and the source data remains under your control.

Map the workforce data you already have

People Directory maps familiar roles such as name, photo, job title, department, location, email and manager to whatever columns your source already uses. Leave a role unbound and it simply stays out of the experience. No prescribed schema, no special content type and no migration into a Zenpo data model.

Employees are not always the whole workforce. Contractors, consultants, vendors and other external people can appear alongside employees in the same source data, so the directory can represent the workforce your organization actually maintains instead of assuming every person is a traditional employee.

Mapped workforce fields become a useful profile with contact and reporting actions built in.
Point People Directory at a workforce CSV in SharePoint and map the fields your source already provides.

Bring your HR export straight into People Directory

Many HR systems can export workforce data as CSV. Store that file in a SharePoint document library, point People Directory at it, and map the fields you need. Person and manager identifiers can preserve reporting relationships without requiring the directory to depend on Microsoft Graph or Entra manager data.

One workforce export can power more than one employee experience. People Directory turns it into a searchable directory, while Org Chart can visualize the reporting structure from the same underlying data.

What to know before you choose

People Directory is designed to sit on top of workforce data your organization already controls. Setup and configuration guides are available at help.zenpo.com.

Can People Directory use data from our HR system?

Yes. Many HR systems can export workforce data as CSV. Store the file in a SharePoint document library, point People Directory at it, and map the fields you want to use. You can also use a SharePoint list as the source.

Does People Directory require Microsoft Graph or Entra ID?

No. People Directory reads the SharePoint list or CSV in the current site using the signed-in user’s existing SharePoint access. It does not require Microsoft Graph calls, additional Graph permissions, admin consent, or Entra profile data as the directory source.

Do we have to change our workforce-data schema?

No. People Directory maps familiar roles such as name, job title, department, location, email and manager to the columns your source already provides. Unused roles can remain unbound, so you do not have to migrate your workforce data into a Zenpo-specific schema.

Can it include contractors, consultants and other external people?

Yes. People Directory is not limited to traditional employees. Contractors, consultants, vendors and other external people can appear alongside employees in the same directory. When the External role is mapped and a person is classified as external in the source data, Zenpo gives them a distinct EXTERNAL treatment.

Can employees search and filter a large directory?

Yes. People Directory supports search across names, titles, departments and locations, along with department and location filters and an A–Z index. The directory uses paged reads so it can work with organization-scale workforce lists rather than requiring the entire dataset to load at once.

Does Zenpo copy our workforce data into its own database?

No. Your workforce data remains in the SharePoint list or CSV stored in your Microsoft 365 tenant. People Directory renders the information inside SharePoint rather than creating a separate Zenpo-hosted employee database.

What happens to our data if we stop using Zenpo?

Nothing. The underlying SharePoint list or CSV remains yours and stays where it is. Removing People Directory does not delete, migrate or take ownership of the workforce data.

Does People Directory expose sensitive dates such as hire dates or ages?

People Directory can display tenure as a range rather than exposing the underlying hire date, and it does not display a person’s age. You control which workforce fields are mapped into the directory experience.
