If you want to keep all your employees' contact information all in one place then the Directory is for you! It allows you to create a phone book with the contact information for the company's employees. You can also add Work Contacts, such as clients and vendors, which your company may use.

You and your employees can access phone numbers, emails and also call any of the people listed in your company's Directory. Easily allow your employees to reach out to each other and chat using the Directory, or limit which information employees can access based on custom fields.

This article will go over:

Let go over the process of getting started with the directory below.

To activate the Directory, click Directory on your side bar and click activate directory.

Pro Tip: Keep in mind that all the users, regardless of their Smart Groups will be able to access the Directory in their smartphones once it is activated in the dashboard. What users see however can be managed through the Directory Settings.

Use the Work Contacts tab to add people that do not belong to your company's app.

This is the place to add more work contacts that are not app users, like reception, help desk, emergency contacts, customers, vendors and more! A Work Contact doesn’t have access to the app.

To add a work contact:

The Directory Settings allow you to decide how you users will use the directory and to which information they will have access to. To get to the settings tab, enter the directory and navigate to the option tab and select settings.

Once inside the setting there are three options, to display users in the mobile app, Mobile Users Viewing Permissions, and Information Visibility. Let's go over these below!

To display users in the app make sure the display users in the mobile directory option is toggled on. If you do not want users' information to be visible to you, and would like to use only Work Contacts, you can toggle this option off.

The mobile users options allow admins to choose whether mobile users are able to view users in the directory, whether they can only view with other users who meet specific criteria, or if there are certain users they will never be able to see. Below we will go over the different options.

This option allows users to view other users in the directory.

By choosing this option, a mobile user will not be able to view anyone in the directory except users who meet certain criteria. Here you have two options:

For example: if we have a company with different branches you may want users to only see other users from their branch in the directory. Setting these settings to be mobile users can not view users who except those with the same branch will allow users to only view those from their branch. Take a look at how this looks below.

For example: You may choose to allow them to view only direct managers and nobody else. Take a look at how this looks below.

This option allows you to select users that will not be able to be viewed in the directory. For example you may not want your CEO or higher executives to be displayed in the directory. Any users you select here will not be displayed in the directory.

This allows you to decide which information will be displayed in the directory for users to see. You can easily uncheck the information you don’t want displayed in the directory. For example you may not want users email to appear in the directory you can easily uncheck the email field.

In the example below you can see I unselected all the options besides phone number, email, and position and only these will be displayed in the directory. To the right I can always see exactly how an example of how this will look in the app itself.

Pro tip: The information available in this list is based on the Custom Fields created in the user profile.
