Posted on by serviceflow2

We have an Employee Directory using Office 365 Users connection and looking for way to filter out users in the directory by some attribute. Currently using JobTitle and Department but can no longer use these attributes. Cannot find another method other than picking from other attributes that I can get the values for like below:

City
CompanyName
Country
Department
DisplayName
GivenName
Id
JobTitle
Mail
MailNickname-Could this be a field we could use?
Mobilephone
OfficeLocation
PostalCode
Surname
TelephoneNumber
UserPrincipalName
Account Enabled
BusinessPhones

We were thinking of using 'Country' and filling Country = "ABC" and filtering on that but there must be another way!

@serviceflow2 I am just wondering, why can't you use JobTitle and Department anymore to filter?

@Tjan We have this tied to a third party app and has to be filled for every user so can no longer use this.
We simply need either a custom attribute that ties to AD and Azure AD that we can filter on. Issue has been there are limited attributes available to filter on for Office365Users.SearchUser. Need another method to filter on we can control from AD and Azure AD.

Hi @serviceflow2 ,

Can you please explain a little bit more what's the purpose of filtering the office directory?

I am asking this because your search user will show you options which are matching your search criteria anyway using this code
Office365users.searchuser({searchtext: self.searchtext})

If you put this on the items property of your combombox it will give you results based on what

@Akshansh-Sharma
Sure thing, we have a gallery of users pulling in from Office365 Users where department is filled in AD. We want to filter out some users from the gallery. We have dropdown1 to filter by department and textinput1 to search for users by DisplayName as well. Need method to filter users out of the directory based on some attribute that we can get from Office365Users. Ie. Some OOTB property. Unless you know of a different way...We want to touch the user account limited times and have limited maintenance on this as you could imagine so using Office365Usrers as data source. We have put in place using the Country/Region property in AD.
