Orchestry's 'Workspace Directory' is a tool for both admins and end-users to discover, view and access workspaces across your tenant.

Where is the Directory Data Stored?

The Directory data is stored in the 'Workspace Directory' list found in the 'Orchestry' SharePoint site. Anytime a new workspace is created, Orchestry adds the new workspace to the list, which is synced back to the directory in Orchestry.

Supported Workspaces

As part of the automatic crawl that updates the Orchestry Directory with your current workspaces, it is important to note that not all workspaces are currently supported, especially those relating to classic infrastructure.

1. Microsoft Teams

2. Modern Group-connected Team sites

3. Modern non-Group-connected Team sites

The User Experience

Both Orchestry admins and end-users can access and leverage the Orchestry directory to access workspaces

All Users can:

• Search and filter for private and/or public workspaces by name

• Visit workspaces via URL (access is NOT automatically granted to unauthorized users)

• View supplemental properties about workspaces (based on columns set by admin)

• View workspace membership

• Add workspaces to their 'Favorites' list

Orchestry Admins can also:

• view hidden workspaces

• modify workspace metadata

• modify workspace visibility in the directory

• force-sync workspaces

How to Access the Directory

All users can access the directory via:

• the Orchestry web app

• the Orchestry Teams app

• the Orchestry SharePoint 'Directory' web part

How to Configure the Directory

Admins can configure the directory to control what workspaces and properties are visible to end users. Admins can do this from the directory UI and/or the SharePoint list

How Orchestry Syncs Workspaces to the Directory

Orchestry can automatically add newly provisioned workspaces to the directory, including:

• Site title/name changes

• Permission updates

• Group membership changes

• Site metadata modifications

• Template type changes

How to Use Orchestry Metadata in the Directory

Admins can add Orchestry metadata as directory columns and filterable properties, allowing end users to locate workspaces faster.
