The Offision call people list widget
Displays an interactive contact directory or call button on a touch screen so visitors can place an Offision intercom call to reception or specific user groups.
The Offision call people list widget lets visitors at an unstaffed entrance tap a person’s name on a touch screen to place an intercom call. The call rings directly in the recipient’s Offision mobile or desktop app.

Widget settings
| Setting | Description | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Selects Button (a launcher button that opens the contact picker in a dialog) or Direct list (displays the contact list directly on the screen). | Choose Direct list when calling is the screen’s primary purpose, or Button to save space on a multi-widget layout. |
| Who can be called | Selects All users or By user group. | Choose By user group on lobby screens so visitors can only call reception or front-desk staff rather than the entire company. |
| User group | Selects which user groups appear when Who can be called is set to By user group. | Pick the user groups responsible for answering entrance calls. |
| Maximum people shown | Limits how many contacts appear in the list (default is 10). | Lower the limit for compact cards, or raise it for a full directory on the main stage. |
| Confirm style | Sets the confirmation gesture before dialing: Tap to call or Slide to call. | Choose Slide to call in high-traffic areas to prevent accidental calls from stray touches. |
When placed on an Action button, the widget always renders as a launcher button that opens the contact picker in a dialog, because a 3:4 tile cannot fit an inline list. In addition, because this widget requires touch interaction and has no QR code fallback, it is hidden automatically on screens configured as non-touch. See Widgets and the places they go.
Scope and limitations
- User and group membership: Available contacts and user groups are managed in Directory. This widget only filters which users appear on the screen.
- Call destination: Incoming calls ring in the recipient’s Offision app on mobile or desktop. To place calls via Microsoft Teams instead, use the Teams call people list widget.
- Typography and theme: Font size, color theme, and widget background are controlled by the overall signage content design. See Widgets and the places they go.
