Add listings to your directory
Three ways in: type it yourself, invite people to write their own, or upload a spreadsheet.
Choosing Add Member does not go straight to a form. It offers three routes, and the one most people need is not the first.
Steps
- Open Engagement → Directory.
- Choose Add Member.
- Pick the route that fits.
Add Manually
Fill in the member information yourself, one listing at a time. Right for a handful of listings, or for anything you want worded exactly your way.
Choose Add member to open the form.
Invite to List
Invite people from your community to fill out their own listing, with no manual entry by you. Choose Send invites.
This is the route worth knowing about. Sponsors and partners know their own opening hours, their own description and their own links better than you do, and they will keep them current in a way you cannot. It also means you are not chasing people by email for details to type in yourself.
The invitation is one of Kannect's triggered emails, under the Directory category, so you can set its wording before you send any.
Upload Listings
Upload a spreadsheet of directory listings and map your columns. Choose Bulk upload.
Use this when you are moving an existing list into Kannect, for example a sponsor list you have kept in a spreadsheet for years. Mapping your columns means your spreadsheet does not have to match Kannect's field names.
