Overview
The Directory houses all active members and staff members on the website. It is necessary for anyone using the website to be in the Directory in order to have website access, however, you may turn off any user’s ability to access the website at any time. The Directory is typically set up with a sync to the club’s accounting system using Clubessential’s application RosterSync, or it may be synced using the Office Products. Both systems allow club admins to update their accounting software for member changes that will then update on the website Directory (Office systems update automatically so changes must occur within the Office accounting suite, while 3rd party systems must be updated manually by running RosterSync).

Best Practices
It is best to never add members manually as members should be synced from the accounting system only.
Add text, hyperlinks, or imagery above the Directory Listing and make visible on the Club Members, Staff tab, and My Profile page. This is a great area to add cross-marketing or disclaimers on the Directory.
FAQs
Q: A member that was recently added to the directory is unable to be found by other members, why?
A: Find the member in the directory as an Admin or Editor - if the member’s name is Red then the member is hidden in the roster. You can change this by clicking their name > edit this user > and then make sure that the Display this user in the Directory checkbox is marked > save.
Q: I have a staff member that needs to receive emails from the website, but they cannot edit or login to the website - how do I add them?
A: Add the staff member as usual with the appropriate information, but click the Lock User From Logging In checkbox. Further, do not provide the login credentials to the user. Make sure the staff member is an Admin Level or No Admin Access.
Q: What fields does a member see when looking at the directory?
A: Fields that are listed in the Club Members tab will show to members.
