Overview

The Member Directory, also known as the People Page, provides users with a way to browse and search for other members of the digital workplace. You can find the Member Directory at the root of your digital workplace. While you can change its position relative to other objects at that level, or hide it from navigation, you cannot move it to another level (e.g., you cannot place it under a Page or Space).  

The Member Directory is a core architectural component of the digital workplace that you cannot delete. However, you can change its name and URL at any time.

If your digital workplace has implemented custom profile fields, your directory layouts may not display as described below and will instead display as the agreed-upon layout. If you have any questions, please contact Igloo Support.

Browsing the directory

To view more information about a user, click their name or profile photo to go to their profile page, or hover over their profile photo to view their profile card.

You can use the provided search box to locate specific members in your digital workplace, or use the options in the right panel to filter members by alphabetical last name, group membership, or space membership.

Page options

You can access the following Member Directory options by clicking the Actions button (). You must have at least Edit Access to the Member Directory to see the Actions button.  

Edit

You must have at least Edit Access to the Member Directory to see this option. 

Select Edit from the Actions menu to go to the Edit page. On the Edit page, you can change the name of the Member Directory by entering a new Title. You can also add a description to the Member Directory by entering text into the WYSIWYG Editor. 

You can enter Title and Description text in any of your digital workplace's supported languages by clicking the corresponding language tab. When on a language tab, you can manually re-enter the text in the appropriate language or click the Translate button to automatically translate existing text from another language tab to the language of the current tab. This automatic translation option uses Google Translate; you should take some time to reread and verify that the provided translation is accurate.

How to change the Title and URL of the Member Directory
