Introduction

In "Together", under the departments section, in the navigation bar, there are several examples of department pages: IT, Sales, Marketing, and Finance. The department pages are completely configurable to be in line with a company or specific department needs. 

When you deploy the "Together" portal, you will have only a few department pages but site owners will be able to create new department pages depending on the company needs. 

Let’s have a look at an example of a department page. 

Department Page 

The page that you can see on the image below, is an example of a department page you will have in "Together".  The department pages are already configured with several web parts.  "Together" contributors will just need to create content on each page. 

On the department page of "Together", employees will have access to important content/ documentation depending on the department.  

What you will find on  department pages

On department pages, you will find several sections: 

"Welcome to the department": a small section that displays information on the department itself - a small description of a department and its space. For example, if it is a communications department, the comms can publish a welcoming message, introducing the main goals and objectives of the team.

"Contacts": Here contributors can add people who will represent this specific department, and who should be contacted in case of need. Contacts can be added directly from the page.

"Quick access": Here you can see the list of applications that help increase the productivity of employees on a daily basis. For example, if it is a finance department, contributors can add quick links to annual reports - a crucial document for employees in the finance department. By providing these quick links/applications, a company can improve the professional skills of its employees and ameliorate their overall experience in the organization.  

Check the article "how to create quick access"  if you want to know how to create these quick links. 

"Recent News": WIth this web part, contributors can display the recent news circulating in the department. It will make sure that everyone in the department is up to date on important news and events.
