Introduction
Search and the People view work alongside each other to make it easy to find a person by name, role, skill, interests, location, team, and more.
People provides a powerful and visual way to search for and stay connected with people within your organization. For an introduction to the purpose of People view and how to use it see this article.
For an overview of Jostle's universal Search, see this article.
How to Search for people
To begin, click on Search at the top of the Main Navigation and then on the slide-out panel, start entering your search term in the field provided.
As you type, a drop down list of potential matching results across all views will appear instantly. If you press the blue enter key, the People results that match your search term will be shown in the main view.
You can use Search to find people based on:
- Name (e.g. "Michael" or "Johnson")
- Technical expertise (e.g. "Coding")
- Geographic location (e.g. "Vancouver")
- Personal interest (e.g. "Photography")
- Job role/function (e.g. "Sales Manager")
How to find people using People view
People view provides another way to discover and find people in your organization, using its Filters panel. To do this, click on the filter icon, on the left side of the Action Bar in the main part of the view.
This allows you to filter by name and different attributes (depending on how your organization has things set up). For example, you can see everyone who is at a particular location and in a customer facing role.
Then by clicking on the settings icon, also on the left of the Action Bar at the top of the main part of People view, you can change how the results are displayed.
For example, change the layout to Gallery to display data on each person or sort people according to their join dates to quickly see who has the most company experience.
