SimpleOne provides several comprised widgets for displaying read-only information on inquiries, incidents, problems, requests, and change requests forms. One of them is the Static User Information widget.

  • Business Phone
  • Mobile Phone
  • Email
  • Timezone
  • Location
  • Department
  • Unit
  • Work Schedule

Info

The Static User Information widget does not display empty fields. That is, if some fields in the Employee record are not filled, they will be ignored.


Info

You can add ACL rules to the Employee table or some of its columns. In this case, the values will be hidden.

Tip

You can also change the fields order by moving lines with their system names in the Server Script field.


For example, we want to hide the phone numbers and add the name of the employee's manager. To do that we perform the steps described below. In the Server Script field, we make the following edits:

  • deleting lines containing column names 'business_phone' and 'mobile_phone'
  • adding a new line containing the system column name 'manager' from the Employee table
