Viva Engage Community search options

Viva Engage Community search shows all communities, is there any way to show only region specific communities to user.

Eg: If user is from North America region, then user should be able to search/see only North America region Communities and communities from other region should not be visible/searchable.

Hi @Shrivastav, Amit Kumar (Cognizant)

Thanks for posting.

Currently, Viva Engage doesn't directly show only region-specific communities. However, admins can encourage using region tags for communities, allowing users to refine searches. Users can also craft custom search queries with community keywords and desired regions. Admins may create separate networks for regions or explore Microsoft Flow customization to filter communities based on user location data. These steps enhance region-specific community discovery. Stay updated on Viva Engage for potential native region-specific search features.

Please provide an article/blog on how to add region tags to communities. While creating communities we are not seeing tagging options:

Viva Engage doesn't currently allow adding region tags during community creation. But there are ways to achieve a similar outcome. Admins can encourage adding region names to community titles or descriptions. Users can then search for communities by combining keywords with their desired region (e.g., "marketing North America"). For more advanced options, admins can explore creating separate regional networks or leverage Microsoft Flow (with some technical expertise) to filter communities based on user location data. Keep an eye on future Viva Engage updates, as native region-specific search features might be introduced.
