Managing Information with Employee Directory

---

Siebel Employee Directory has two key areas of functionality, Employee Profile and Employee Locator.

Employee Profile

Siebel Employee Directory uses an employee profile repository to store information about each employee in an organization. An employee's profile includes the following types of information:

Bio. The Bio view allows employees in an organization to enter short biographical information about themselves. This information is then made visible within the Siebel Employee Directory. The biography can help employees better understand the background of their co-workers.
Credentials. The Credentials view allows you to display and manage the credentials associated with an employee. The credentials data is structured and includes the following types of information about an employee:
Memberships
Honors and awards
Certifications
Resume. The Resume view allows you to view and manage the resume of each employee in an organization. Visibility to resumes can be limited by the administrator to select groups of employees. The resume data is structured and includes two elements:
Education
Past work experience
Profile. The Profile view allows you to view and manage an employee's details, such as name, manager, and address.
Skills. The Skills view allows you to manage and view an employee's skills. Managers can use this view to track skills gaps and build teams based on project skill needs.

The Employee Directory includes several additional views, from which you can manage employee-related information. The following tabs appear in the Employee Directory:

Calendar
Objectives
Training
Service Request
Projects
Activities
Opportunities
Customers
Accounts

For more information about these view tabs, see Applications Administration Guide.

The information stored in the employee profile repository is used by other Siebel applications and modules. For example, the skills in an employee's profile are used by Competency Management to calculate skills gaps, which helps to identify areas in which an employee needs to update his or her skills. The Employee Details are used by the Employee Locator when you search for an employee.

You can restrict visibility of an employee profile view based on the responsibilities of the employee. For more information about visibility and responsibilities, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.

Table 11 describes the views available in the Employee Directory screen.
