  2. Add/Remove People from a Directory

Directories are for showing information about leaders and other important people in your union. You may want to create a way for your membership to view information about their executive board, committees, stewards at a particular location, or business agents. The directories should help your members find the people that might be able to help them solve a problem and give recognition to the people building the union.

Directories can be Marked as Representation for a specific bargaining unit. Any directory marked as representation will appear under the Find My Representation section of the app for members of that bargaining unit.

Directories can only display the people you have added to the “People” section of the app. Follow the procedures here before the people can be added to a directory. Once a person has been added to the database, they can be added to one or more different directories.

The people you display and which directories they appear in is up to you and based on how your union is organized.

Creating a Directory

  1. Login to the app manager
  2. Navigate to a Directories listing under either the bargaining unit, group, or union wide section that you want to add it to. Adding the directory to a specific bargaining unit will only allow users within that bargaining unit to view that directory while adding a directory to the Union-Wide Resources will make it accessible to the entire union
