Drop Down for Names
Description:
Request to have a drop-down selection for employees and contractors. Users would start typing their name and see matching options appear. For contractors, the company they work for could be displayed; for employees, job title or home location could help differentiate between similar names.
Current behavior is limited due to name visibility restrictions and privacy settings, similar to how visitor or contractor lists work when selecting a host.
Suggested enhancements include:
Reference: Navigate via the kiosk to View the list after entering 1–3 characters.
In Advanced Settings, leverage employee/contractor list privacy controls to allow filtered dropdowns.
Optionally, show a prompt for exact matches only for confirmation.
Apply the feature to both employees and contractors, improving accuracy and usability when typing names manually.
This approach builds on existing privacy settings but enhances dropdown functionality for faster and clearer selection.
