Allow more biographical information about your members to appear on their profile page within a Directory by adding custom fields!
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.
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 within the directory.
Use the following steps to add a custom field:
On the backend, go to Members > Segments > Directories
Create a new directory or open an existing one.
Click the Settings tab and scroll down to the Profile Pages section.
Scroll to the end of the list where the custom fields can be added, removed, and rearranged.
To Add:
Click into the text field at the bottom of the fields list to open a list of all available fields, committees, or groups. Type the name of the field to find it quickly.
Select the custom field, committee, or group you want to add
Click the Add button on the right
To Delete:
Choose the field you want to delete
Click Remove on the right
To Rearrange:
Hover over the dots on the left until you see a four pronged arrow icon
Click and drag the field to change the display order
Once you are finished with your changes, click the Save button in the top, right-hand corner.
Important Notes:
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.
