# Plugins {#plugins}

Employee Directory provides three plugin configurations
for displaying employee profiles.

## Combined list and detail view {#combined-list-and-detail-view}

Plugin name: `EmployeeList`

This plugin provides the employee list, filtering,
and individual employee detail views.

It supports the `list`, `show`, and `filter`
controller actions.

## Standalone employee list {#standalone-employee-list}

Plugin name: `EmployeeListOnly`

This plugin displays the employee list with its
search and filtering functions.

It supports the `list` and `filter` controller
actions.

## Standalone employee detail view {#standalone-employee-detail-view}

Plugin name: `EmployeeDetail`

This plugin displays an individual employee profile.

It supports the `show` controller action.

## Linking the employee list to a detail page {#linking-the-employee-list-to-a-detail-page}

The combined `EmployeeList` plugin displays employee
details on the same page.

When using the standalone `EmployeeListOnly` plugin,
a separate page containing the `EmployeeDetail`
plugin is required for detail views.

Configure the `detailPageUid` site setting with
the UID of that detail page.

If `detailPageUid` is `0`, the standalone list
does not display links to employee details.

The detail link is only displayed when an employee
has a description.

## Linking the detail page back to the list {#linking-the-detail-page-back-to-the-list}

The combined `EmployeeList` plugin provides a
back button that returns to the employee list
on the same page.

When using the standalone `EmployeeDetail` plugin,
configure the `listPageUid` site setting with
the UID of the page containing the
`EmployeeListOnly` plugin.

The back button then links to that list page.

If `listPageUid` is `0`, the standalone detail
view does not display a back button.
