SHAREPOINT SPFX SOLUTION

CV Intranet Installation Guide

Use this installation guide to complete the setup and configuration process for CV Intranet.

Overview

  • CV Intranet is a SharePoint SPFx solution that transforms Microsoft 365 into a fully branded, employee-first digital workplace — bringing company news, departments, people, policies, events, and quick links together in a single modern landing experience. It is designed to replace fragmented communication channels and legacy intranet portals with a unified hub built natively on SharePoint Online.
  • This guide walks through the installation tracks required for a complete deployment:
    1. SharePoint App Deployment — adding the CV Intranet web parts to your tenant and target site.
    2. Web Part Configuration — placing and configuring the CV Intranet experience on your intranet landing page.
    3. AppSource Subscription — activating a paid plan so the solution runs without restrictions.

Prerequisites

  • Before starting the deployment, confirm the following are in place:
    1. SharePoint environment: Microsoft 365 tenant with SharePoint Online and App Catalog enabled.
    2. App Catalog site: A tenant-level or site-collection App Catalog must be created and accessible.
    3. Admin access: Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator rights are required for tenant-level deployment and for approving API permissions.
    4. Target site: A modern communication site (recommended) designated as the intranet landing page for your organization.
    5. Content readiness: Basic assets such as company logo, banner images, department list, and initial announcements prepared for first-run configuration.
    6. Billing account: A valid payment method on the Microsoft account used to activate the AppSource subscription.

Part 1 — Deploy the CV Intranet SharePoint App

  • Follow these steps in order. Each step assumes the previous step completed successfully.
  • Step 1: Deploy the Solution (Admin)

  • Open the tenant or site-collection App Catalog using one of the following URLs:
  • https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/appcatalog/_layouts/15/tenantAppCatalog.aspx/manageApps
  • or
  • https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursitecollection/AppCatalog/Forms/AllItems.aspx
  • Click the settings (gear) icon in the top-right corner and choose Add an app.
  • In the search bar, type “CV Intranet” and locate the app under the SharePoint Store section.
  • Select CV Intranet and click Add to Apps site.
  • In the deployment dialog, choose either “Only enable this app” (to add it to specific sites later) or “Enable this app and add it to all sites”, then click Add.
  • A banner will appear requesting additional API permission approval. Proceed to Step 2 to grant these permissions.
  • Step 2: Grant API Access

  • CV Intranet requires delegated Microsoft Graph permissions to render people directories, department hubs, news feeds, and personalized content.
  • Open the SharePoint Admin Center: https://yourtenant-admin.sharepoint.com
  • From the left menu, navigate to Advanced → API access.
  • Under Pending requests, locate the following permission requests submitted by CV Intranet:
  • User.Read.All – read user profiles to power the employee directory, birthdays, anniversaries, and people web parts.
    1. People.Read
    2. User.Read
  • Select each permission and click Approve. Approval can take a few minutes to propagate across the tenant.
  • Step 3: Add the App to a SharePoint Site

  • Note: Skip this step if you selected “Enable this app and add it to all sites” in the previous step.
  • Navigate to the target SharePoint site collection (for example, your company intranet or communication site).
  • Open Site Contents from the site settings menu.
  • Click + New → App in the top ribbon.
  • Under Apps You Can Add, select CV Intranet and click Add.

Part 2 — Configure the CV Intranet Web Part

  • Once the app is installed, add the web part to a SharePoint page so employees can access company news, departments, people, and quick links from a single landing experience.
  • Step 1: Create the Intranet Landing Page

  • From the target site, go to Site Contents → New → Page.
  • Select a blank page template and give it a clear title such as “Home”, “Company Intranet”, or “Employee Hub”.
  • Add a full-width section (recommended) so the intranet dashboard renders with enough horizontal space for banners, announcements, employee directories, and quick links.
  • Optionally set this page as the site’s home page (Site Settings → Make homepage) so users land directly on the CV Intranet experience.
  • Step 2: Add the Web Part

  • Click the + icon inside the section to open the web-part picker.
  • Search for “CV” or below listed webpart name and click the result. Wait a few seconds for the web part to initialize.
  • List of webparts available:-
    1. CV Intranet Banner
    2. CV Quick Links
    3. CV Announcements
    4. CV Intranet Vendor Contacts
    5. CV Policy Procedure

  • Step 3: Add Configuration Setup from web part’s Property pane
