Persons by organizational unit

The "Organizational unit" web application type can be used to integrate all persons in an organizational unit at once.

Select organizational unit

Select the web application type "Organizational unit" (see screenshot "Select web application type").

In this mode, you will see all organizational units of TU Dortmund University in a tree structure. If an entry has subcategories, an arrow icon appears to the left of it. Click on the arrow to display the subcategories. The tree expands downwards (see screenshot "Navigating in the structure tree").

If an entry contains personal data, the number of people is shown in brackets after the name. Click on the entry to add all persons of this organizational unit to the selection (see screenshot "Select organizational unit").

Note: If an entry in the structure tree does not have a label, "N. N." is displayed.

Do not show individual persons

By default, all persons in the selected organizational unit are displayed in the frontend. You can see an overview of all persons in the selection directly below the tree structure.

If you activate the checkboxes in the "Do not display" column, these persons are not displayed in the frontend (see screenshot "Do not display person").
