In any user profile management system, profile completeness is very important. As Vlad Catrinescu mentioned in this article, the following are some of the scenarios:
- To quickly identify people in a company, a profile picture is very important.
- Internal requests such as leave request cannot be approved if the manager property is not set.
- Birthday add-in can be developed using Birthday property.
- Department is an important property that people filter on when searching for other employees.
- Country can be very useful for an international company with more advanced people directories.
- The Skills field can be very useful in an expertise finder directory when people try to find other colleagues who have knowledge in a certain area or in certain products.
- About Me is not usually a required property but can increase the value and efficiency of a User Profile Directory inside your organization.
- The Past Projects field can be very useful in an expertise finder directory when people try to find other colleagues that have experience in a certain type of project. Without the project info being set, the expertise finder in your organization will be way less valuable
- Users’ location and phone numbers are important when you schedule a meeting based on time zone.
Thank Vlad for explaining these scenarios and useful PowerShell scripts.
