Projects
People Directory Plugin
Integrating more functionality for a people directory within a website. This will include syncing with the people in the People Directory, being able to add non-WSU people in a website, making updates to people’s profiles locally (within a website) that is not reflected back to the People Directory or the displays of people on other websites.
Project Lead: Dan White
People Directory Website
Making the People Directory more a central repository for people and connecting it up to the information in Work Day.
Project Lead: Dan White

Tentative completion date: January 2023
