DESCRIPTION
Many think that the User Profile service is simply used for connecting SharePoint to Active Directory so that the attributes can be synced into their user profiles in SharePoint. They also know they can add really cool pictures to their profile along with some additional information that the others can see if you give them the ability to. User profiles are so much more than that and I could talk for hours about all the great things that it can do. Many don't realize it but you can increase user adoption by implementing some of cool features and connections to other service applications such as Managed Metadata and Search. In this session we go through the configuration of the user profile service application and the integration with the other service applications to build your one stop shop for company information. Areas that will be covered in this session: • Custom User Properties • Deeper Active Directory Integration • Social • Relevant Searching • Company Directory • Deep Dive into a Profile • Audiences • MySites

Metadata SharePoint 2010 & 2013
• A user profile is a visual display of personal data associated with a specific user, or a customized desktop environment.
• A profile refers therefore to the explicit digital representation of a person's identity.
User Profile
vs. MySites
• Can you have one without the other?
• Why would you not have MySites?
• Any reason you would not use User Profiles?
Moral of the Story…
User Profiles and MySites may seem like the same thing and look like they are the same thing but in reality…. Are two totally different creatures.

Example (First Name, Last Name & Social Distance):
[{"name":"First name (A-Z)","sorts":[{"p":"FirstName","d":0}]},{"name":"First name (Z-A)","sorts":[{"p":"FirstName","d":1}]}, {"name":"Last name (A-Z)","sorts":[{"p":"LastName","d":0}]},{"name":"Last name (Z-A)","sorts":[{"p":"LastName","d":1}]}, {"name":"Social distance","sorts":[]}]
Note: Ensure that the managed property you want to sort by has the Sortable option enabled in the search schema. Search Service Application, Search Schema, Select the LastName managed property and select the Sortable: ‘Yes – active’ option (do the same for all properties you want to sort). Note you will need a full crawl for this to take effect.
