Why can’t people find me in HohCampus?

  • no function
    You can only be found in the university structure and the people search if at least one function has been stored for you. This is the responsibility of the department administrators in your institution. They can edit your assigned contact details, etc. Please contact the department admin responsible for you.
  • Visibility level
    Only persons whose level is set to "public" can be found by anyone, even those who are not signed in. To find people with other levels, you must be logged in to HohCampus before searching.

How can I search most efficiently for people and institutions?

  • Set up bookmarks for the people and institution search. (see FAQ “How do I set up bookmarks in my browser that work properly for the people and institution search?”)
  • You can have the list of results sorted according to a particular column by clicking on that column.
    If you click on “Filter anziegen“ (show filters), then the fields become visible in which you can enter filter criteria.
    You can use this to look for part of a person’s or institution’s name in a long list of results, for example.
  • Using the i symbol, you can navigate to a help page with many useful tips on refining your searches.
  • For those employees who usually have a role that does not permit them to use the search functions:
    Use a second browser or, if you use Mozilla Firefox open a new, private window.
    There, log-in and change to the appropriate role, e.g. Mitarbeiter (employee).

How do I search for a person using the institution number?

Navigate in HohCampus in the menu to "Organization > Search for people.”

  • In the "Organizational unit data" section, enter the institution number in the "Standard text/designation/number" field.
  • You will then be presented with a list of all persons assigned to an institution that contains your search term as part of the institution number.

Example: If "340a" is entered in the "Standard text/designation/number" field, all persons in the corresponding department are displayed.

How do I set up bookmarks in my browser that work properly for the people and institution search?

If you use the unedited internet address as a bookmark, that can lead to problems. That is because of the final part of the internet address: “&_flowExecutionKey=e1s1”.

We therefore recommend that instead you use the following, edited internet addresses in which the final part has been deleted.

Please enter these internet addresses manually as new bookmarks:

e.g.

  • For the people search:

    hohcampus.verw.uni-hohenheim.de/qisserver/pages/psv/person/searchPersonOrgunitRelation.xhtml?_flowId=searchPersonOrgunitRelation-flow
  • For the institution search:

    hohcampus.verw.uni-hohenheim.de/qisserver/pages/cs/psv/orgunit/searchOrgunits.xhtml?_flowId=searchOrgunitDependingOnPersonFunction-flow
