People Finder configuration reference

The default fields of the People Finder portlet correspond to attributes defined by Member Manager, and enable the display of information about people in several views. As an administrator, we can determine the layout and content of portlet views by selecting and ordering the fields that appear in each view.

If Member Manager is configured with Microsoft Active Directory, remove the fields carLicense, secretary, and pager from the People Finder configuration.

The configuration settings are stored in the file apPDirConfig.xml. We can return People Finder to its default configuration by selecting Configure from the portlet drop-down menu, and under XML Configuration, clicking Reload Settings.

For additional information on setting up the views of the People Finder portlet, while configuring People Finder, select Help from the drop-down menu on the portlet title bar.

Business Card fields

The following table lists the Member Manager attributes that appear as fields in the unlabelled Business Card section of the Profile in People Finder. By default, the Business Card section displays the following fields as lines in descending order. Business Card fields do not display labels, and fields containing no information are not displayed. For each attribute listed, the field label and display type are identified, except for Photograph, whose attribute we can select from a separate list and is jpegPhoto by default. Unless noted, the default display type of an attribute is a text string.
