Additional information
Only employees with a current, active job appear in the directory by default. To find past employees, remove the Current Staff filter and apply a Past Job Employment Status filter instead.
Primary contact information (email and phone number) is shown by default in the People Directory. You can restrict when this information is visible by adjusting permission settings.
