People Picker- Show Position

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a Person-type column in a Sharepoint list which shows up nicely as a people search dropdown in PowerApps. I'm able to search for people in my org without issue. 

 

BUT: 

* In our org there are sometimes 2 or 3 "John Smith" 's or the like. 

* How do I get the people search to show Job Position as people search? 

 

Does anyone know how to customize the auto-filter-dropdown-thing below a people search to show Job Position? 

 

Thank you

    Hello ericonline,

     

    Is this what you're looking for?

    The above is how you can configure your ComboBox control to show Name and Job Title in a Powerapp or in a customized form.

    Thank you for the reply. This is exactly what I needed! I was unaware that you could: 

     

    • Click View, Data Source
    • Drill into a Dropdown
    • Change parameters (if available)

     

    I replaced "Email" (not necessary in my case) with "Job Title". Worked perfect. 

Under review
