Hide Specific Fields for Individual’s Profile
Users can hide fields from the Member Directory directly from their profile. See this article here for more details.
Setting up Opt-in for New and Existing Users
Firstly, go to the Settings. Once the page loads, select Member Directory to access specific settings for this section.
New Users
Scroll down to the Other Settings heading select the following settings to automatically send newly created members an email for them to opt-in to the member directory. Please note, the tokens that are sent in these emails only work once, and expire within 2 weeks.
If you wish to only send these emails to specific people categories, simply choose what categories these emails go to in the options area that appears below.
Existing Users
If opt-in was not enabled prior to adding people to the Member Directory, you can simply hide those people and readd them to the Member Directory in order to re-trigger the opt-in email sent to those people.
To perform this action
-
Generate a list of people to work with (for example, use Advanced Search and filter by people who are showing in the Member Directory)
-
Select list of people and then click on the ‘Mass Manage’ button
-
In the ‘Mass Manage’ windowChange People’s Field > Member Directory > HiddenClick the ‘Perform Mass Manage’ button’ to saveThen, select the same list and use Mass Manage to Change People’s Field > Member Directory > ShowingClick the ‘Perform Mass Manage’ button’ to save
-
This will then trigger an opt-in email to be sent to everyone with a valid email address in the Elvanto account
What about users without a valid email address?
For users without a valid email address, we will provide a warning. If you wish to add them regardless of opt-in, press ‘click here’ in the error message.
What does ‘Pending Approval’ mean?
Users with ‘Pending Approval’ are still considered to be ‘Hidden’ in the Member Directory. This means an opt-in email has been sent to them but they have not clicked to accept.
What if my Members don’t yet have Login Details?
Users who are responding to these emails do not need to login to accept or decline the Opt-in Request
Excluding Demographics
Firstly, go to the Settings. Once the page loads, select Member Directory to access specific settings for this section.
Select the Demographics you wish to exclude from the member directory will no longer appear.
Any member assigned to these demographics will not appear in the member directory.
