Searching for people

Quick search

The quickest way to open a person profile is to type their name (first or last) into the search field in the left navigation pane.

The list of names available is restricted based on your User Role settings. For example, Editor can see the members of their Workgroup. Administrators and System Administrators can see everyone in your Account.

Selecting the name opens the person’s profile.

The People Search functions provide flexible searching of the people that are members of your Account (organisation) and for searching the database of private individuals that have registered their profiles on PeopleTray.

Select the People button on the menu bar, then Search People from the menu list.
