Directory People Autocompleter

The Directory People Autocompleter is used throughout the site to allow the easy selection of a Physics person from the department directory.

Using the Autocompleter

For an example we will look at the My Groups interface. At first glance the autocompleter looks like a regular textbox:

  • My Groups Interface Screenshot

Begin to type the name or e-mail of a user in the physics directory, however, and the autocompleter feature become apparent:

  • Autocompleter Screenshot

To select the person you want use either the mouse, or the arrow keys and enter on your keyboard:

  • Autocompleter Screenshot #2

Why is the Autocompleter not working for me?

No suggestions shown while typing may be due to the following:

  • No matching name or e-mail address are found in the physics directory
  • JavaScript is disabled in your web browser, or you are using a web browser which does not support the Autocompleter
