Search for people
Global Search also allows you to find and view information about colleagues.
For example, if you need to:

See their skills
Find contact details
Just search for their name and open their profile. Users are only allowed to use this function, if enabled in their permission type. You can either chose that they can see all users in the organization, or only those in their department for sub departments.
Depending on your permissions, you can access the following information:
Name
Job profile
Department
Skills
Certificates
Contact information (email and phone)
Example use cases
Global Search is especially useful when you need quick answers, such as:
Verifying a colleague’s certification during an audit
Finding someone with the right skills for a task
Checking who is qualified for a specific responsibility
Picture this💭
You are working in construction, and an audit is currently taking place. All people on the filed needs to show that they are allowed to perform their work. But what about your colleague operating the crane? Instead of waiting them to get down from the crane, you can show their crane certificate on behalf of them.
You would simply need to:
Search for the colleague
Open their profile
Review their skills or certificates
Show the person doing the audit.
Now you are ready to get back to work👷
