In the **Show** dropdown, choose from the following categories:

* **Recent Joinees**: Highlights employees who recently joined the company.
* **Recent Awardees**: Displays users who have recently received an award.
* **Experts**: Lists users who are top contributors in the Questions module.
* **Work Anniversaries**: Shows users with upcoming work anniversaries.
* **Domain Admins**: Lists the domain administrators.
* **Members of a Team**: Highlights users from a selected team.
* **Specific People**: Allows you to select specific individuals manually.

This selection determines the focus of the widget and who will be displayed.

### Setting the Audience - Work Anniversaries Only

When **Work Anniversaries** is selected, you can further filter which users are displayed based on the following options:

* **Everyone**: Shows upcoming work anniversaries for all users across the entire domain.
* **Users I'm Following**: Shows upcoming work anniversaries only for users the logged-in user is following.
* **Users with Matching Profile Field**: Shows upcoming work anniversaries for users whose selected profile field matches that of the logged-in user.

### Customizing the Appearance

The appearance section allows users to customize how the information appears within the widget.

Users can choose their preferred **View** layout:

* Grid layout with profile images.
* List layout (selected in the example).

And select the **Picture Size** from options such as:

* Normal
* Large

These options help users control both the format and the visual size of user avatars shown in the widget.

***

### Setting the Display Range - Work Anniversaries/Recent Awardees

When displaying **Work Anniversaries**, you can customize how far in advance these are shown.

Use the **Display Range** section to show all anniversaries happening in the next specified number of days (e.g., next 7 days).

Similarly, when displaying **Recent Awardees**, you can use this section to show all recent awardees in the last number of days.

Click **Save** to apply the changes. The People widget will now display according to your chosen configuration, enriching your intranet with timely and personalized content.
