The PEOPLE tab represents all individuals created as contacts within Neostella. Each person stored in this tab is both a contact and a user, making it the foundational layer for identity management across the platform.
This tab stores users as individual records (rows) containing general information and provides direct access to the people editor, where admins can review and manage detailed user data such as user information, contact information, employment information, groups, and activity.
The PEOPLE tab acts as the central source of truth for contact data. Multiple tools depend on this data, including Groups, Permission Sets, Objects, Documents, or Finance. Due to this dependency, the People tab serves as the core user database across Neostella.

toolbar
The toolbar in the PEOPLE tab provides admins with tools to customize how user data is presented and accessed. From this area, admins can show or hide table columns, apply filters to narrow down user information, adjust row density to control how much data is visible at once, export the current view to a CSV file, and quickly locate users using the search bar.
The toolbar has user preferences configurations, including column visibility, filters, and display settings that are now stored per user. These preferences are designed to reset after the user session ends.
