The New Interactive Directory Takes the Work Out of Networking

You can spend 20 minutes flipping through the pages of your address book, or you can find exactly who and what you’re looking for in 20 seconds using your interactive directory on memberplanet. Welcome to the future of networking.

Our most recent launch of memberplanet includes an updated member directory that features a full library of your organization’s members, their profiles, and their personalized information. Each member’s data is only accessible by your group, and displayed information settings are controlled by individual privacy settings. Request that members showcase their education, career, member level, or group title on their profile, or alternatively allow them to maintain the mystery with as little disclosure possible (aside from required fields, of course). Networking has never been easier on memberplanet. You’re going to love this new look and feel.

​The possibilities are figuratively endless with the new interactive directory layout and settings. Individual profiles share, but are not limited to, events members are attending, public social media account links, and contact information. Set custom fields for your members to fill out so that the data populates across every profile. Don’t worry – having your members fill out their profile isn’t labor intensive. Some of the data will automatically populate based on their email address (which remains private) if it is associated with public social media accounts.
 
Boost member-to-member interaction
But wait, there’s more – when you take advantage of the many perks of the Pro or Premium subscriptions on memberplanet, you and your members will be able to utilize advanced search features. Select the Smart Search option within the search bar to look up members by any field of information your group collects. Clicking on a member profile will show the information that user has chosen to display.

Give your members networking and mentorship opportunities, foster an online community, and improve engagement. They’ll have the ability to search other members in your organization using custom field data, such as who’s attending a specific event, similar interests, or who lives in the same city. 

Note: If you are on an Enterprise plan, or belong to a chapter or club whose national or headquarters level has a partnership with memberplanet, your members can benefit from a more personalized experience. When coupled with our integrated websites, members can access the directory via secure login from your homepage. Multi-tiered organizations can allow their child groups, such as chapters, clubs, or units, to search members on a local and/or national level.

You can find out how to use these features by viewing the full interactive directory support documents in our Support Center.
