Overview
This article is for employees and gives an overview of The Fountain, Minnesota State University, Mankato’s internal SharePoint landing page for employee news, info, and events.
Platform Summary
The Fountain is the internal landing page for faculty and staff at Minnesota State University, Mankato. It uses the Microsoft 365 modern Sharepoint service. The main page is the focal point of the platform, bringing in content from all the different divisional pages. The main page uses managed metadata and categories to pull in news and events to different sections of the page.
The system is a bunch of independently managed pages (division pages) that are all nested and connected to the main page using metadata. All employees automatically have access to all divisional pages. Users can choose to follow pages to ensure they get served content from and get alerts on content posted in those pages. Users are encouraged to check the main page and any divisional pages they are interested in or affiliated with daily.
