How to access the Corporate Directory [ESS]

The OrangeHRM platform allows you to easily obtain employee information via the corporate directory depending on what permissions have been granted by HR/Admin to allow employees to view the contact information of other workers. In this section, as an employee, you can perform the following actions:

View Employees through the directory
Filter employees based on the available criteria options
Ability to mark the employee as a “favorite'
Call, text, or send an email to any employee (If enabled by the HR admin)

Step 1: When the user logs in to the application, go to More -> Directory

This section displays the corresponding employee's name, employee id, and job title. If the employee is on leave for the current date, the “On Leave” indication will be displayed for that employee along with the number of hours they are due to be on leave for the day.

Leave must be either in Pending Approval, Scheduled or Taken state in order to be displayed

Filter Employee

By clicking the filter icon you can set the required set of filters and search for the employees to visualize their details.

Field	Description
Employee Name	Users can select an individual employee by typing their name or the employee ID.
Job Title	Ability to select one Job Title or all Job titles at once via the “All” dropdown option.
Location	Ability to select an individual country, location or all locations at once via the “All” dropdown option. When selecting a country, underlying locations that belong to the country will also be considered for the search.
Sub Unit	Ability to select one Sub Unit or all Sub Units at once via the “All” dropdown option. When selecting a top-level subunit, all underlying subunits that belong to the top-level subunit will be considered for the search.
Cost Centre	Displayed only when the field is enabled. Ability to select one Cost Center or all Cost Centers at once via the “All” dropdown option.
Set as Default Filter	User-defined filter definitions will be preserved if this option is enabled thus allowing each user to customize the directory list as per their own preference. Once this is toggled on, the existing filter combination will be saved and maintained for subsequent logins as a custom default filter.

Step 2: Select any employee to see the details for that employee.

The user will also have the ability to mark the employee as a “favorite” contact by enabling the star icon located in the top right corner. Tapping it again will remove the employee from the favorite contact list.
