Using the alumni directory & map

Use the alumni directory and map to find community members by name, email address, profile details, and location. You can also save your filters as Smart Lists for follow-up in Events, Groups, or Email Marketing.

Open the directory

1. Go to the Connect menu.
2. Select Directory & Map.

Select fields to display

Use the quick search bar to find a member by name or email address.

To control which columns appear in your directory results:

1. Click Fields to open the Field chooser.
2. Search for a field, or scroll through the list to browse available fields.
3. Toggle each field you want to display to Visible.
4. Reorder visible fields as needed using drag-and-drop.
5. Click the X in the field search box to return to the full list of visible and hidden fields.

The fields available to you depend on your community's profile configuration and your access level.

Filter directory results

Use filters to narrow your alumni directory results by profile information, such as graduation year, location, industry, program, or other available fields.

1. Click Filters.
2. Click Add Condition.
3. Select the field you want to filter by.
4. Choose an operator, such as Is, Is Not, Contains, Does Not Contain, Is empty, or Is not empty.
5. Enter or select search criteria when the operator requires it.

You can add more conditions to refine your results.

Filter by Custom Object fields

If your community uses Custom Objects to store structured data (i.e. education or career history), you can filter directory results using information stored in those records.

1. In the Filters window, click Add Condition.
2. Select the Custom Object first.
3. Select the field within that Custom Object.
4. Choose an operator and enter criteria, if needed.

To search for multiple criteria within the same Custom Object row, add a nested filter. Nested filters help you find members whose information matches all required details in a single record, rather than across separate custom object records on their profile.

Build compound filters

Use compound filters when your search needs more than one condition.

1. Add a condition to your filter.
2. Choose AND to return members who meet every condition, or OR to return members who meet at least one condition.
3. Select the next field, operator, and criteria.
4. Continue adding conditions as needed.

Save filters as a Smart List

Save a useful filter so you can use the same audience again without rebuilding the search.

1. Open the Filters window and set up your conditions.
2. Click the more options menu (⋮).
3. Save the filter as a Smart List.

You can use Smart Lists to invite members to Events or Groups. Administrators can also create a dynamic Group from any filter and use Smart Lists or Static Lists in Email Marketing campaigns.

Using the Alumni Map View

Map View displays pins for members who match your current search and filter criteria.

1. Set your search or filters in the directory.
2. Click Map View.
3. Select a pin to view members at that location.

Members who have set their address to private do not appear to regular users as pins on the map. A member may have more than one pin if they have entered multiple addresses.

Open profiles in new tabs

When reviewing directory results, hold Ctrl and click a profile on a PC (command + click on a Mac) to open it in a new browser tab. This lets you compare profiles or continue browsing without losing your directory search.
