Prompt Library

Writing an effective prompt can take some getting used to, and that's completely okay! It's a skill that takes time and practice to develop. That's why we wanted to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.


We're excited to introduce our Prompt Library! Here, you’ll find a curated collection of ready-to-use prompts designed around the most common scenarios you're likely to encounter when building your SharePoint intranet pages.


NOTEAll listed prompts don’t have to be followed strictly. They are just guidelines you can use to start your prompting journey. You can still modify each one to suit your organization's needs and the purpose of your page. Want to learn more prompting tips? Check out How to Write Effective AI Prompts for ShortPoint AI Designer.


IMPORTANTKeep in mind that running the same prompt more than once may give you slightly different results each time. AI tools, like ShortPoint AI Designer, are built on neural networks, which means a small degree of variability is part of how they work. It's basically AI bringing a fresh perspective with every run.

Essential Intranet Pages


Let’s start with the basic pages you need to have on your SharePoint intranet. We’ve provided sample prompts for each page. You can modify and even mix-and-match prompts as you like.


Homepage / Dashboard


Your homepage is the central landing page for everyone in your organization. And because it’s your company’s big introduction, it should be easy to navigate and direct your users to key updates and quick links.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Homepage / Dashboard for [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Give employees a single launchpad to access news, tools, key links, and daily updates.

INCLUDE: Hero Caption with a personalized welcome message, Ticker for scrolling announcements, Quick Links for quick-access tools [add the name of the tools you want to include], News Cards for latest company updates, Alert for urgent HR notices.

TONE: Professional and clean, with a warm welcome feel.

copy prompt


Employee Directory


When you're trying to reach someone you've never met before, the directory is your first stop. It puts names to faces, clarifies who does what, and makes it easier to connect across teams and locations.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create an Employee Directory for [describe your company]

PURPOSE: Help employees find colleagues, their roles, and contact information.

INCLUDE: Person Cards displaying photo, name, title, department, and contact info, Tabs to browse by department or location [add departments or office locations], World clock to display different timezones [add office locations].

TONE: Friendly, approachable, and people-first.

copy prompt


Company News & Announcements


Employees want to know what's going on at the company they work for. This page keeps everyone in the loop, so no one finds out about important news through the grapevine.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Company News Page for [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Keep all employees informed of company updates, milestones, and changes.

INCLUDE: News Cards as the primary feed, Ticker for urgent pinned announcements, Tabs to filter by category [add categories here], Alert for time-sensitive notices, and FAQs for common questions.

TONE: Timely, straightforward, and trustworthy.

copy prompt


Onboarding Portal


Starting a new job is overwhelming. A dedicated onboarding page gives new hires a structured, welcoming path through their first days and weeks. It’s a big win when they spend less time confused and more time feeling like they belong.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create an Onboarding Portal for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Guide new hires through their first [number] days with clear steps and essential resources.

INCLUDE: Steps element for the Day 1-[number] checklist, Tabs for each onboarding phase, Quick Links for IT setup and benefits enrollment, Person Cards for buddy/manager introductions, FAQs for common onboarding questions, and Alert for urgent HR deadlines.

TONE: Welcoming, structured, and confidence-building.

copy prompt


HR Policies & Employee Handbook


Every organization has rules and expectations, and employees deserve easy access to them. A centralized policies page removes the "I didn't know" problem and ensures everyone is working from the same set of guidelines.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Policies & Handbook Page for [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Give employees easy access to all HR policies in one organized, searchable location.

INCLUDE: Search Box, Tabs for policy categories [add your categories], File List for downloadable PDFs, and FAQs for common policy questions.

TONE: Clear, authoritative, and easy to navigate.

copy prompt


Benefits Information


Benefits are a significant part of someone's total compensation, but they're often underused simply because people don't fully understand them. A clear, well-organized benefits page helps employees actually take advantage of what they're entitled to.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Benefits Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Help employees understand and take full advantage of their benefits.

INCLUDE: Tabs for benefit categories [add categories here], Icon Boxes summarizing each benefit, an Accordion for detailed FAQs, Quick Links to enrollment portals, and an Alert for open enrollment dates.

TONE: Clear, friendly, and jargon-free.

copy prompt


IT Help & Support


IT issues are frustrating enough without having to figure out how to even report them. A clear, easy-to-use help desk page gives employees a straightforward path to getting support. And it also helps the IT team manage requests without things falling through the cracks.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create an IT Help Desk Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Give employees a clear path to report IT issues and track their resolution.

INCLUDE: Steps element for how to submit a ticket, Quick Links to the ticketing system, Accordion for common fixes self-help, Alert for known outages, Icon Boxes for support categories.

TONE: Efficient, no-nonsense, and reassuring.

copy prompt


Forms & Request Portal


Employees regularly need to request things, including time off, equipment, access, and approvals. Without a central place to submit these requests, they end up scattered across emails and Slack messages. A request portal brings order to that chaos and makes follow-up much easier for everyone.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Forms & Requests Portal for the [_____ department] of a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Give employees one place to submit [describe what types of forms you want submitted. For example, any HR-related request or form].

INCLUDE: Quick Links for form categories [add categories], Icon Boxes showing expected response times per category, Steps element for the submission process, Button for submission.

TONE: Organized, welcoming, and self-service-forward.

copy prompt


Events Page


Without a central events page, events get buried in email threads, and people miss things they actually wanted to attend. A shared events page keeps everyone aware of what's coming up and makes it easy to plan ahead.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create an Events Calendar for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Promote internal events and encourage participation across teams.

INCLUDE: Slideshow for featured upcoming events, Events design element for the full list of events, Image Carousel for photo recaps, and Countdown for the next major event.

TONE: Fun, vibrant, and community-focused.

copy prompt


Document Library


Searching for the right version of a document across email, chat, and shared drives is a productivity killer. A central document library solves that by giving everyone one trusted place to find, download, and store important files.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:


Create a Document Library for a  [____ department] at a [describe company].

PURPOSE: Provide secure, organized access to [describe types of documents to be accessed].

INCLUDE: Tabs for document categories, File List as the primary browsing element, and Quick Links to most-downloaded forms.

TONE: Secure, professional, and meticulously organized.

copy prompt


Other Key Pages


Now that you have the essentials built, let’s jump to other key pages you may need for your SharePoint intranet:


Departments / Teams Pages


People shouldn't have to guess what another team does or who to contact when they need help. These pages give each department a home on the intranet. It’s basically a place to explain their work, introduce their team, and make cross-functional collaboration a lot easier.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a [_____ Department Page] for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Give staff a clear overview of the [____ department] function and key contacts.

INCLUDE:  Icon Boxes summarizing team responsibilities, Person Cards for department leads, Quick Links to department-specific resources, News Cards for department-related news, Events Design Element for department-related events and schedule.

TONE: Professional, informative, and approachable.

copy prompt



Newsletter Archive


Some people like to catch up on company news in one sitting rather than piece it together from various sources. A newsletter archive gives them a way to do that, while also preserving a record of how the company communicated over time.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Newsletter Archive Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Give employees access to past and current internal newsletters in one searchable place.

INCLUDE: News Cards for each newsletter edition, File List for PDF downloads, Tabs to browse by topic or date, and Tickers for top headlines.

TONE: Polished, editorial, and easy to browse.

copy prompt


Training & Learning Hub


Whether it's a compliance requirement or a personal development goal, people need a clear path to learning. A learning hub makes it easy to find courses, track progress, and take ownership of professional growth without waiting for someone to point them in the right direction.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Learning & Development Page for a [describe your company] with [describe training requirements. For example, regulatory training requirements].

PURPOSE: Help employees find, complete, and track mandatory and optional training.

INCLUDE: Steps element for the compliance training path, Tabs for mandatory vs. optional courses, Alert for upcoming deadlines, File List for course materials, Counter Boxes showing completion stats.

TONE: Structured, compliance-aware, and motivating.

copy prompt


FAQ Page


Some questions get asked over and over again, and, honestly, answering those questions can be exhausting. A well-maintained FAQ page takes the pressure off HR, IT, and other teams by letting employees find answers on their own, at any time of day.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create an FAQ Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Reduce repetitive inquiries by answering the most common employee questions.

INCLUDE: Tabs for categories [add your company departments], Accordion for Q&A pairs, Button linking to a question submission form.

TONE: Helpful, direct, and conversational.

copy prompt


Recognition / Kudos Board


People do great work every day that often goes unacknowledged beyond a quick "thanks." A recognition page creates a visible, shared space to celebrate those moments, which goes a long way toward morale. This is especially useful in larger teams where individual contributions can get lost.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create an Employee Recognition Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Honor staff who go above and beyond in patient care and teamwork.

INCLUDE: Hero Caption for featured employee of the month, Testimonials for nomination stories, Tabs to filter by department [list departments], Person Cards for spotlighted staff, Timeline for milestone anniversaries (5yr, 10yr), Image list for employees celebrating milestone anniversaries, Button to submit a nomination.

TONE: Heartfelt, meaningful, and mission-aligned.

Employee Wellness Resources


Supporting employee well-being isn't just good practice; it's something people genuinely need to do their best work. A wellness page centralizes resources so employees know what's available to them, whether they're looking for mental health support, financial guidance, or just a way to stay active.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Wellness Resources Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Give staff easy access to wellbeing support without barriers or judgment.

TONE: Compassionate, non-judgmental, and staff-first.

PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Company Strategy Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Help every employee understand annual goals and how their work connects to them.

INCLUDE: Hero Caption with the vision statement, Icon Boxes for each strategic pillar, Counter Boxes for key metrics, and Tabs for company vs. department goals (HR, Support, IT, Marketing, Sales).

TONE: Ambitious, clear, and employee-inclusive.

copy prompt



Compliance isn't the most exciting topic, but it's a critical one. A dedicated page ensures employees know what's required of them, where to find policies, and how to flag concerns. It’s essential to protect both the individual and the organization.


PROMPT TEMPLATE:

Create a Compliance Resource Page for a [describe your company].

PURPOSE: Ensure employees can easily find, read, and complete all compliance requirements.

INCLUDE: Steps element for the compliance process, File List for policies, Tabs for compliance categories, and Countdown to next regulatory deadline.
