NAME

RT::Extension::GroupSummary - Display a summary of a group

DESCRIPTION

This module allows RT to display semantic information about any group, mainly through CustomFields attached to this group.

It displays information about a group on a Group Summary page, similar to what is done about a user. A Group Summary page includes the name, the description and CustomFields of a group. The Group Summary page can be accessed from any tabs of Admin/Groups and is linked to any display of a principal which is a group (just like any display of a principal which is a user is linked to the related User Summary page).

This module also provides a Group Summary Search feature and links results to related Group Summary pages.

In a future revision, it is planned to use Portlets in a Group Summary page, just like in a User Summary page.

CONFIGURATION

Display of results from a Group Summary Search can be configured through the GroupSearchResultFormat:

Set($GroupSearchResultFormat,
     q{'<a href="__WebPath__/Group/Summary.html?id=__id__">__id__</a>/TITLE:#'}
    .q{,'<a href="__WebPath__/Group/Summary.html?id=__id__">__Name__</a>/TITLE:Name'}
    .q{,'__Description__/TITLE:Description'}
);
