Initial directory view
You can set the default view to Simple search or Advanced search Sorting order
You can set up to three levels of sorting based on the fields from your member database. However note that you can not sort by membership fields which are not multi-line text, radio button or multiple choice fields. For example, you might want to sort by Member level first, then by last name. In this way your members in more expensive membership categories will be displayed higher up. Search results layout
You can customize the layout of the member directory. You can display up to four (4) columns in the directory list. Each column can be customized to show a header and up to three fields from database. The width of the column can be adjusted as well. Note: The first field of the first column will automatically link to the member's public profile page. Member directory exampleDepending on your level of level of access (e.g. public user vs logged in member/admin) the displayed fields in the directory can look slightly different. Public viewHere is an example of how a member directory page might be displayed on your website to public visitors
If the public is not allowed to view the linked fields they are simply shown as view details instead. The rest of the fields the public don't have access to a simply hidden. Member ViewHere is the same Member directory page displayed to a logged in member:
Note the difference in between two views. You (and your members) can choose what information can be shown to public, members or no one. To set this up go to Settings -> Member profile page. For more details see Privacy settings. Admin ViewThe admin view will be exactly the same as that of a logged in member. Making directory public or member-onlyAccess and visibility of member directory page is controlled in the same way as it is for other pages: See Page access and Page visibility Search options for visitorsIn Simple or Keyword search mode people can simply start typing 'Designer' (for example) and the system will immediately find and display all matching records (whether 'Designer' is found in the Job title field, email field, listing field - or name fields) Browsing Mode
Browsing mode allows you to define up to four fields that will show up on top of the member directory page. Each option will have a number corresponding to the number of members with this field. User can select any search combination by simply clicking on the available options. When selected, search will automatically show the corresponding number of records.
From the search results page people can click into the individual member details page. If you use bundles, you have the option to display the bundle administrators only. If this is selected (see Show members settings above), bundle members will not be included in the member directory. Here is how bundle administrator will appear in a list:
After you click on selected bundle administrator it will open public profile page, bundle members will be shown at the bottom of the page:
Privacy optionsEveryone is concerned about privacy so you should be extra-cautious about releasing member contact information. Wild Apricot gives you - and your members - full control over that. First of all, as an administrator you get to define what fields are in your member database (see Customizing your member database). Second, for each field you can define whether it is accessible to the public or members (and thus shown in the member profile page and member directory - see Privacy settings). Finally, each member is in full control over his public member profile - and can control which fields he wants to show for his own record. Thus, one member might be comfortable sharing email and telephone, another one only the telephone and yet someone else will chose not to show anything except his name - or even opt out of being included in the member directory altogether! This information can be updated by the administrator for each member (including using the import function) - and also by each member via online self-service page.
