# A finance team intranet > A concept design for a SharePoint Online intranet homepage built for a corporate finance team: close checklist, reporting, controls and a Copilot rail, all from out-of-the-box web parts. [← The Studio](https://tenantcraft.ca/work) Scenario · Communication site The page a finance team opens every morning: where the close stands, what changed in policy, and the handful of links they use through every reporting cycle.

[hello@tenantcraft.ca](mailto:hello@tenantcraft.ca) No code, out of the box ## What you’re looking at Nothing on that page is custom-built. Every block is a standard SharePoint web part, set up by an editor with permission to the site. **Click a card** to see the exact steps for building it. 01 Hero + Quick Links The banner is the Hero web part; the six tiles overlapping it are a Quick Links web part. An editor sets each image and link, nothing more. How it is built 1. Edit the page, then click the circled + to add a section. 2. Choose the Hero web part, pick a layout, set each tile’s image and link. 3. Below it, add a second web part: Quick Links. 4. Switch Quick Links to the Grid layout; add each link with an icon and label. 02 News web part The list layout. Anyone with edit rights publishes a News post on the site and it surfaces here, newest first, with the author pulled from their profile. How it is built 1. Add a web part and choose News. 2. Set the news source to This site. 3. Pick the List layout and how many posts to show. 4. Staff use + New, then News post; new posts appear here, newest first. 03 Bing Maps web part “Our Branches” is the native maps web part. Add an address and SharePoint drops the pin. No embed code. How it is built 1. Add a web part and choose Bing Maps. 2. Type a branch address into the search box. 3. SharePoint drops the pin and centres the map. 4. Set the zoom level and pin label, then save. 04 Coloured sections The four resource panels are Quick Links web parts sitting on a section with a brand-colour background. Section backgrounds are a built-in setting. How it is built 1. Hover the section’s pencil handle on the left edge. 2. Pick a section background colour from the site theme. 3. Drop a Quick Links web part into each column. 4. Reuse the colour on other sections for rhythm. 05 Quick Chart + Power BI Bar and progress visuals are the Quick Chart web part. The gauge is a Power BI tile, embedded with the Power BI web part. How it is built 1. For a bar or pie, add the Quick Chart web part and type the values. 2. For richer visuals, build the report in Power BI first. 3. Add the Power BI web part and paste the report link. 4. Choose which page or tile of the report to show. 06 Copilot Agents web part The right rail is a dark vertical section. The agent cards are the SharePoint Copilot Agents web part: current, supported, no code. How it is built 1. Create or pick an agent in Copilot, scoped to this site’s files. 2. Edit the page and add the Copilot Agents web part. 3. Select the agent, or agents, to display. 4. Publish; staff can chat with it without leaving the page. ## More from the Studio [All scenarios →](https://tenantcraft.ca/work) [Accounting CPA firm intranet Hawthorne & Pierce CPAs A didone-led firm site for a fictional CPA practice: tax deadlines, IRS compliance updates, a notice tracker, time and billing tools, and a firm metrics dashboard.](https://tenantcraft.ca/studio/cpa-intranet) [Insurance · IT IT department intranet Algonquin Mutual Insurance, IT Hub A helpdesk-first hub for an in-house IT team at a mid-size insurer: ticket and software-request tiles, a maintenance countdown, after-hours line, common-task pills and a praise card.](https://tenantcraft.ca/studio/it-department-intranet) [Construction Construction project hub Redrock Construction A hub for a commercial builder: active job sites, safety resources, crew news and KPI dashboards, so the field and the office read the same numbers.](https://tenantcraft.ca/studio/construction-intranet) [Construction Construction firm intranet Cedarworks Construction A slate-blue and amber take on a builder’s homepage: projects, KPIs, safety hub and a featured Employee of the Month, all from out-of-the-box web parts.](https://tenantcraft.ca/studio/cedarworks-intranet) [Grocery retail Supermarket chain intranet Maple & Crate Market A team hub for a multi-store grocer: shift notices, retail tools, company news and a countdown to the next store opening.](https://tenantcraft.ca/studio/grocery-intranet) [K-12 education School-district intranet Evergreen Meadows School District A district-wide homepage for an 18-school public board: school directory, district highlights, announcements, staff quick links and a superintendent’s weekly update.](https://tenantcraft.ca/studio/school-intranet) TWENTY MINUTES, NO PITCH ## Tell me what is stuck.
