1. Introduction

Together portal is composed of multiple sites. When you deploy it, you will immediately have a portal provisioned with several pre-configured pages and a few department sites. You will then be able to fill these pages with your own content.

If you want to add a new department, you can use the gear to create a new department and then add it to your global navigation. When creating a department, you can choose its name and modify it if needed. To do that, you need to be a site owner.

When you create a department page, it will be already pre-configured with several web parts by default, but it will be empty. So you will have to build the content by yourself. 

 

2. Add a department page

1) I create the page

Important: To add new departments, you need to be a Site Owner in the Home of the Intranet site, and you need to be located on the "Home" page of our "Together" Portal.

 

Step 1:

Click on the wheel at the top of the Home page.

Step 2:

Click "Create site." It opens a section on the left.

Step 3:

Fill the fields in the section "Create site."

In the "Site template" field, select "Together Portal - department."

Then, fill in the "title" (name of the department), the description, the URLe logo, and the "manage rights."

Step 4 : 

Finally, click on the "Confirm" button.

 

After the confirm button, you will need to wait a few minutes before the new department will be available.

Important: do not forget to copy the URL of your department to add it to your global navigation after the creation. If you miss it, the URL of the site will be available in the "Site contents" section.

Then, click "Subsites."

Click the name of the department you have just created. It will open a department page. Copy the URL. 

 

2) I add it into the nav

Step 1:

Click the wheel on the top of the page :

Step 2:

Click "Manage navigation."

In the navigation panel, you can manage all your navigation nodes and organize the navigation in the way you want. The navigation supports two levels of nodes, and you can add any url links (it can be external links to your company apps or other content in your Microsoft 365 environment).

 

Step 3:

To add a department page in the navigation, scroll down and click "Add a link." 

A panel on the right just opened: "Create navigation node." Fill the fields.

Give a title to your navigation node - that will be the title that will appear in the navigation. 

In the address box, you have to paste the page URL. 

Then, click "Save."

Step 4:

As you click the "Save" button, the new node will be added to the navigation on the left, but you need to click on it and put it wherever you want it to appear in the navigation. 

As it is a department page, click the sign close to the department name you have just created, and keep your finger on your mouse to slide the department under the "Departments" section.

Finally, click "Save."

 

Note that:

You can always edit or delete your page by clicking the three-dot icon next to each page title. 

Also, to add a sub-page, you can bring the mouse under each page, and you will see a "+" sign. Click this plus sign to add a sub-page.

You can also manage the audience for your department page. On 'Together," you can define the group of people who will access your page. Click here to see how.

 

3) I add the tab into Teams if needed

Together also offers the capability to access the company portal through dedicated Teams to bring daily interactions, social features, and more employee engagement in the hybrid work. It requires you to deploy the associated Powell Teams team template during the deployment step.  

When you have already deployed your Together portal and the associated Together team, you will be able to add the necessary pages and tabs to your teams. Read more about it through our article on how to deploy your Together portal and the associated team.

When you create your first "Together" Team, it will be already ready with predefined channels and pages. However, if you create a new department page or any other new page on the portal, you will always be able to add these new pages as tabs in your Team.

To do this:

Step 1:

In Teams, go to the "Teams" section.

Step 2:

Then, go to the "Together" channel by clicking the name.

Step 3:

Add a new tab in a channel through the "+" sign.

Step 4:

Select "SharePoint" as a tab.

Step 5:

Select "Any SharePoint site," insert the page URL you want to add as a tab, and click "Save."

Your page will be added to your team channel as a new tab.
