Create a phone book using People Search

[it-neor]

It would be very cool if you could store a phone book on the private and public side, which in turn divided the users by location/location and department.

The data fields should be able to be filled with LDAP.
Quasi people search without searching and grouping by location and department

In short:
People search with permanent display of LDAP users with grouping

Can you please describe more explicitly how this would work, possibly with UI config/examples? I really don't understand what your asking for.

Thank you for your reply.
I try to describe it in more detail:

Many companies are looking for a phone book where the data comes directly from the LDAP.
The people search, which is already implemented, is great for this.

Current disadvantage:
You only get results when you search for an attribute.

Wish:

1. When opening the person search, whether on the private (registered) or public page (guest on PWM), the LDAP users are displayed directly without having to carry out a search.

2. The search function should remain available so that only the people you are looking for are displayed. The others will be hidden after the search.

3. When opening the people search, it would be great to change the view like this:

View by position (manager, employee, billing, IT, etc), city, department, zip code:
However, the grouping is not directly one after the other but with paragraphs behind it:

Grouping by location:
Table 1: Hamburg
Table 2: Munich
Table 3: Berlin

This gives you a very up-to-date phone book where you can see all employees directly without having to start a search, because you only get results when you start typing something in the search.

I hope this was a little clearer.

Best regards
