Finally… what is a staff card, really?

The university’s staff cards have brief information about your position as an employee. This is available to visitors to sh.se, and to colleagues who are logged in to the employee web. The card has basic information that is retrieved from PAV (name, phone number, room number, titles, primary unit), as well as information that you provide, such as mobile number and a job description. You can also state the university units you are affiliated with, as this controls the staff listings you will be displayed in.
