Add Custom Field Values to Directory Profile Pages
To show a custom field's values on directory profile pages (like the example above), follow these steps:
1. Custom Field Setup
Create the custom field you want to add within the Custom Fields tab in the backend, or open an existing field to edit the settings.
In the custom field's settings modal, make sure the box for Members is checked in the Visibility section. (see screenshot below)
Once all of the settings are dialed in, click the Save & Close button.
*Please Note
The field will not automatically be added to any directories. Continue to the next step...
2. Directory Setup
Once the custom field is showing on member records, it will also be available within each Directory's settings modal, as a field that can be added to profile pages in the directory.
The steps in the screenshot below are:
On the backend, go to Members > Segments > Directories
Create a new directory or open an existing one.
In the pop-up modal, scroll down to the Profile Pages section.
Click into the field and either scroll to find the field you want to add, or start typing part of the field's name to narrow down the list of options.
Note: You will see a mixture of choices from custom fields, committee participation, and groups.
Click the Add button on the right
Once all fields have been added, click the Save & Close button.
Items of Note:
If the field needs to be added to more than one directory, follow these steps for each directory.
The custom field will only show up on the member details page in the directory if there is a value in the custom field for that particular member.
Remove Custom Field Values from Directory Profile Pages
To remove a custom field's values from directory profile pages:
On the backend, go to Members > Segments > Directories
Click Edit to open the settings modal.
In the pop-up modal, scroll down to the Profile Pages section.
Find the field and click the Remove button on the right.
Then Save & Close the modal.
