Instantly explore your team by **city**, **state/region**, or **country**. **What you can do:** - **Click any location** (city/state/country) to filter and see everyone with a matching address. - **Group results** by city/town, state/region, or country for a new view of your organization. This adds a powerful geographic lens to OneDirectory, making it easy to understand where your people are around the world. --- ## Refreshed Header Design ✨ ![OneDirectory Refreshed Header Design](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c1/11/c111eebf-c6f2-428f-81ae-d07ef88b544a/content/images/2025/10/news-item-headers--1-.jpg) We’ve rolled out a cleaner, more compact header across OneDirectory, easier to read with updated text styling, colors, and spacing. **What’s new:** - **Clear context labels:** A label above the page heading (e.g., **Departments**) so you always know where you are. - **Smarter page icons:** See an office image, department icon, or country flag based on the page type. - **Subtle motion:** Headings now slide up/down based on your navigation direction, adding a touch of life to your digital org. --- ## Export Any List to CSV 💾 ![OneDirectory download lists to CSV](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c1/11/c111eebf-c6f2-428f-81ae-d07ef88b544a/content/images/2025/10/news-item-download-csv.jpg) You can now download **any** search result or listing page as a CSV, not just people. **Now you can export:** 🏢 Offices 👥 Departments 🎯 Skills 🧱 Organizational Units 🗂️ Custom entity pages **How to download:** Scroll to the bottom of a listing and click **Download** (e.g., **Download office list** on the Offices page exports all offices with phone numbers, addresses, and headcounts). **Bonus: Access Control** Choose who can see the **Download** button: **Everyone** or **Admins & Directory Editors**. Find it under **Settings → General → Display Settings**. --- ## Fixes & Improvements 🚀 We made big strides this cycle.
