Telephone List

Question

Is there anyway to provide a corporate phone directory list to employees through the self service portal? Based on what I've seen in a search, it doesn't appear to be that this is possible.

Thx!

Hello Joel,

There is no such possibility using built-in reports. The feature will be available in the next major release.

As a workaround, you can use the View User Home Page Action. The target object selection will include only users that have a telephone number specified. To create the action:

1. Launch Adaxes Web Interface Customization Tool.
2. Select the Self Service interface type.
3. On the General tab, clear the Do not show the Home Page checkbox and click Configure Home Page Actions.
   
4. If necessary, uncheck/delete the built-in Home page actions.
   
5. Click Add and select the View User action.
   
6. On step 2 of the wizard, select Allow selecting only AD objects that match the specific LDAP filter.
7. In the LDAP filter field enter the following: telephoneNumber=*
   
   Note: If corporate phones are stored in another property, specify its LDAP name in the filter instead of telephoneNumber.
8. Click Next.
9. Select Use customized form and click Customize Form.
   
10. Delete all the sections except for the Telephones one.
11. Delete all the properties from the section except for Telephone Number.
    
    Note: If corporate phones are stored in another property, keep only this property. If the property is not present in the section, click Add below Section Fields, select the required property and click OK.
12. Click OK and finish creating the Home Page Action.
