Novartis is excited to explore the new Home site capabilities, especially the improvements to search, cross-site navigation, organizational news and the mobile front page.” – Philip Martucci, Director Content & Channels, Novartis The solution, built with Microsoft certified partner Wizdom, intends to use SharePoint Online and will embrace all relevant functions of Office 365 to fuel its digital ambitions. As part of its focused data and digital transformation, Novartis will launch a new global corporate intranet for its 100,000+ employees. “ Novartis is a leading global healthcare company committed to reimagining medicine. Home sites are built on top of familiar communication sites. SharePoint home sites are the landing sites for your organization that bring together news, events, content, conversations and video to deliver an engaging experience that reflects your voice, your priorities, and your brand. Today at the SharePoint Conference, we announced SharePoint home sites, the latest innovation for the intelligent intranet, powered by Microsoft 365. The intelligent intranet delivers experiences that provide shared content and solutions for collaboration, drives employee engagement and communications, and harnesses collective knowledge by connecting people and content. The other old menus can be edited in the navigation section of the site settings all all items removed.Visionaries driving digital transformation and creating the modern workplace know the intelligent intranet is the heart of a digital workplace. It does not automatically add menu items so it has to be done manually - but only once as it replicates through all sites links to the collection. This opens a vertical editor pane to the left of your screen. The Hub menu can be edited from the Hub Site (top level main site) using the edit link on the right end of the bar. Once these two are off and once your cache has cleared you should fine all the menus can be edited correctly. Then go to the site collection features and ensure that the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure is Deactivated
ensure in the site feature of each site in the collection that SharePoint server Publishing is Deactivated.I found that if you have the old classic SharePoint Publishing Infrastructure turned on and a site is using SharePoint server Publishing feature then this causes the new Manu system to fail.
Problemīeware however when you add this - in some circumstances it does not work! I could not work out why this didn't work - although the menu appeared, the main existing menu was also there at the same time and there was no way to edit or manage either.Īfter many support calls to Microsoft, who to be honest, although they did get to us very quickly, but were useless, I managed to resolve the issue by trial and error. Once a site has been designated as the Main Hub Site then you can add other sites under it and they can all share a single new navigation bar, and theme, which sits above the existing title section and below the office 365 bar. So, to help us find a way round this Microsoft has introduced the Hub Site Navigation. The only slight complication is that Hub Sites are created in their own site collection, which although this is great from a data protection security perspective, makes inter-site navigation a pain to construct and maintain. One of the best new features of the modern SharePoint infrastructure is the introduction of hub sites.
