Hi,

I would like to create a view that shows a grid of users within specific departments/roles.

Firstly, is this possible with a combination of Types, Access and Views?

I've installed Access and can see the groups I had set up are showing in Access' settings tab 'Custom Roles'. But I can't seem to find have to filter in any view settings e.g. Showing all users within 'Kitchen'. Am I missing something?

Hi Nick,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Are you referring to showing all the users in a GRID and then be able to filter for specific user categories?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Custom Roles for Grid.JPG

Hi,

Ideally what I'd like to do is have a view set to filter by shortcode. for example: [wpv-view name="team-grid" orderby="display_name" department="restaurant"]

So this would show a grid of users (profile photo, name, job title, and department) in that department.

I originally have groups of users created using the 'Simple Intranet' plugin. You can see in the screenshot attached that these groups (which I'm referring to as departments above) have been recognised by Access. Or am I better off re-creating the groups another way using Toolset's plugins?

Hi Nick,

Unfortunately you won't be able to filter the users like this.

When you create a view to list users you will get the option to select which user role do you want the view to display. See Screenshot.

Granted you will need to create a separate view to list each user role.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
