An intranet knowledge signpost by life situation

EP365 Life Situations Centre everything for one situation in one place

A knowledge centre sorted by what an employee is dealing with right now — new joiner, holiday, parental leave, business trip, leaving. For each situation, step-by-step guides, checklists, forms and a contact for the person in charge. Instead of searching through folders, one clear signpost. All in your Microsoft 365.

Everything for one situation in one place. New joiner, holiday, parental leave or leaving — an employee clicks what they are dealing with and sees guides, checklists and the contact for the person in charge.
No more email relay. Onboarding leads the employee step by step through the first 90 days. They tick off their progress, and you see where they are.
HR stops answering the same questions. Answers are sorted by situation, not scattered across policies, lists and chat.
Data stays in your Microsoft 365 Deployed in as little as a day From CZK 4,000 per month
See it in practice

A signpost with the employee's journey through the organisation, a situation detail with the person in charge, an article with a checklist you tick off, and a completion overview for managers. Click the demo to enlarge it.

Sound familiar?

This is what companies tell us before they roll out the Centre. Not because people are clumsy — but because policies, shared folders and chat were never built to advise a person according to the situation they are dealing with.

“The new colleague doesn't know where to start.”

Onboarding is an email relay and links to ten different places. A new joiner spends the first week finding out whom to ask about what — and forgets half of it anyway.

“The holiday procedure? It's somewhere in a policy.”

The guide is in a policy, the form somewhere else, the HR contact in chat. The employee doesn't know everything that belongs to the situation, or whether the version is current.

“HR gets asked about this all the time.”

The same questions: how to handle a business trip, what to do when moving house, where to report a workplace injury. The answers exist, they just aren't in one clear place organised by situation.

What the Life Situations Centre does about it

Five things that save people the most searching and the most questions to HR. The complete feature list is further down in the details.

A signpost by life situation

Instead of searching through folders and departments, employees see the situations they deal with as people: starting, development, everyday work, family, health, change, leaving. They click their situation and have everything that belongs to it together. You manage which situations appear and in what order.

Step-by-step guides with personal progress

A guide carries a checklist — steps you tick off. Progress is saved for each person separately, so the guide continues where you left off. A “Your progress” card on each situation sums up how much you have done.

A PDF guide nobody finishes reading a guide that remembers where you stopped

A person in charge for every situation

Every situation has a specific contact person — an HR partner, IT support, a health and safety officer. Email and phone one click away. No more guessing whom to actually ask.

HR publishes with approval

An author writes a guide or simply links to an existing document and submits it for approval. The manager gets an email and approves — the author receives a confirmation. Until then, nobody sees the article.

An overview of what people are missing

Anonymous statistics show what people searched for and did not find. You add exactly the content that is really missing — instead of guessing what to write. Articles without a review for more than a year mark themselves “For review”.

The fastest route: 30 minutes on screen.

No company presentation. We share a screen and click through the app on sample situations — you will see exactly what your people and your HR would see.

„Onboarding turned from an email relay into a single checklist. And from the search overview we see exactly what content people still lack — instead of guessing.“

Manufacturing company · 180 employees · managed by HR and internal communications

The rollout took one day, with no developer. We assembled 14 default situations and filled in over 40 guides. HR learned to manage it in a single workshop.

For those who want to know more

Everything that matters in one place — features, a comparison with the alternatives, security, pricing and answers to common questions.

A signpost by situation

14 default situations ordered by phase of the work cycle — starting, development, everyday, family, health, change, leaving. The administrator manages the situations and their order, and popular ones sit at the top.

Guides, checklists and forms

You assemble content from blocks right in the Centre, or simply link to an existing page, document or system. Seven types: guide, checklist, form, video, FAQ, policy, template.

A block content editor

You build a guide from blocks like a construction kit: formatted text, headings, images, videos, highlighted tips and dividers. You upload an image straight from your computer, a video from SharePoint plays right in the article — a Stream or YouTube link is embedded as a card. Blocks can be rearranged freely. No HTML, no developer.

Knowledge for the AI assistant

An approved guide can optionally be published as a Markdown file to your SharePoint library, from where the EP365 AI Assistant reads it with the SharePoint source enabled. An employee then asks in their own words — “what do I need to arrange before a business trip?” — and gets an answer with a link to your guide. Only approved content is published, and the file updates itself with every change. The assistant therefore never cites a draft or an old version.

Content management side by side

You pick a situation and a panel with its content opens right next to it — you edit guides from there, with no clicking through and no loss of context. You can also edit directly from the content: with a button on the situation and guide detail, or a pencil next to each guide in the list.

Step-by-step guides

A guide can carry a checklist you tick off. Progress is saved for each user separately, so the guide continues where you left off. On a situation you see a summary of how many guides you have completed.

People in charge of situations

Every situation has one or more people in charge — specific contact persons (HR partner, IT support, health and safety officer). A card on the situation shows whom to contact and how: email and phone in one click.

Approval workflow with emails

Content moves through the states Draft → For approval → Published. Approvers get an email, and after the decision the author gets the result — including the reason when it is returned. The article stays hidden until approved. Scheduled publication on a given date is optional.

Your journey and a personal overview

An interactive timeline of the employee cycle with a “You are here” indicator. Users follow situations, save articles for later and have a history of recently read ones — all personal, stored under their own account.

Search and a command palette

Full-text search across all guides with filters (situation, department, type, role) and match highlighting. The command palette (Ctrl+K) jumps straight to any screen, situation, guide or person in charge. At the end of an article you also get smartly related guides.

Filters by department, type and role

You browse content not only by situation but also by whom it concerns: department, content type and target role. Everyone quickly finds exactly what is relevant to them.

An overview for administrators

An adoption overview — what is being read, how much is published, how useful the content is. And above all: anonymous statistics of searches with no result show what content people really lack. A compass for what to add first.

“For review” articles

Content that nobody has checked for more than a year marks itself with a “For review” flag. The administrator immediately sees what is probably outdated and what needs going through — so people don't read invalid procedures.

Interface in Czech and English

Users see the language of their Microsoft 365, with a manual switch (the choice is remembered) and a default language from the global configuration. You can also keep the content of situations multilingual.

Your own branding and roles

Theme and colours to match your brand. Administrators and approvers see content management, regular users only browse, search and tick off their progress — everyone sees what belongs to them.

Data in your Microsoft 365

Situations, guides, people in charge and personal progress all stay in your Microsoft 365. Knowledge for the AI assistant is published to your SharePoint library, where your permissions apply. No third-party cloud, no external system for business logic — none of it leaves your environment.

No automation platforms

Everything runs straight from the browser on top of your environment. No background processes, no dependency on another automation platform that someone would have to watch over.

Personal progress for you only

Ticked-off steps, saved bookmarks and followed situations are seen and edited only by the user themselves. Progress is technically separated — nobody else can see into it, even with a direct link.

Emails from your own mailbox

Approval notifications are sent in the name of the person who performed the action — from their mailbox, not from an anonymous address. Without the permission being granted, they are simply not sent and the app keeps running.

An anonymous search overview

Queries with no result are stored without the identity of the person who asked — only the text, count and time. They show what people are missing without tracking who searched for what.

No new passwords

People sign in with their company Microsoft account. When an employee leaves, IT handles it in one step — blocking the account also removes access to the Centre.

How is this different from Controlled documents?
A different purpose. Controlled documents is document management — versioning, controlled acknowledgement and an audit trail over binding documents. The Life Situations Centre is a knowledge signpost: it sorts content by what an employee is dealing with right now (new joiner, holiday, leaving…), with step-by-step guides and contacts for the people in charge. A guide in the Centre can simply link to a controlled document — the two apps complement each other.
Who manages the content and how does approval work?
Content is managed by a group of administrators, and administrators and approvers can approve. An author assembles a guide from blocks — formatted text, headings, images, videos, highlighted tips — adds checklist steps, or simply links to an existing document, and submits it for approval. Content moves through the states Draft → For approval → Published; until approved, it is hidden from regular users. Email notifications are sent at every step.
Can the AI assistant use the Centre's content too?
Yes. An approved guide can optionally be published as a Markdown file to a SharePoint library that the EP365 AI Assistant reads with the SharePoint source enabled. An employee can then ask in their own words and get an answer with a link to the specific guide — handy for people who don't yet know which situation their question belongs to. Only approved content goes into the knowledge; drafts and returned articles never get there, and the file updates itself with every change. The AI assistant is a separate app (EP365 Private Secure AI) — without it the Centre works exactly the same, the knowledge just isn't published anywhere.
Do approval emails really get sent?
Yes. On submission for approval the approvers get an email, and after the decision the author gets the result — including the reason when it is returned. The email is sent in the name of the person who performed the action, i.e. from their mailbox, not from an anonymous address. It requires a one-time permission grant by your Microsoft 365 administrator; without it the app keeps working, the notifications just aren't sent.
How is personal progress stored, and is it private?
Ticked-off steps in guides, saved bookmarks and followed situations are stored so that each person sees and edits only their own. Progress is therefore personal and technically separated. The overview of searches with no result is also anonymous — it stores only the query text, count and time, never who searched.
Does it need a server or an installation of its own?
No. Everything runs from the browser on top of your Microsoft 365; nothing is installed on computers. Emails are sent from the user's own mailbox. On our side only the validity of the licence is checked externally — no company data flows through it.
What do we need to have for it?
Just Microsoft 365 with SharePoint Online — what most companies already pay for. The Centre is added as one app to your environment, and the storage it needs is created on its own at first launch. If you don't use SharePoint yet, we will help you get started.
Can we keep content multilingual?
The interface is in Czech and English — users see the language of their Microsoft 365, with a manual switch (the choice is remembered) and a default language from the global configuration. Multilingual content of the situations and guides themselves is on the roadmap.
How do app updates work?
You upload the package to your App Catalog just once. New versions are then activated by your admin right inside the app — in Settings, on the Version management card — including rolling back to an earlier version. No repeated package deployments: we ship improvements continuously and you choose when to switch.
