View and Edit Directory Categories

1. Click Setup in the left-hand menu.
2. Click Define Directory Categories in the Member Options area.
3. Modify the categories as desired.

• Sub-categories may not be created in top-level categories when the top-level contains members. Remove the members, then sub-categories may be created.
• QuickLink categories should be assigned to every top-level and sub-category to take full advantage of all search methods available on the integrated public web site.
• Click Point of Interest Categories to assign Point of Interest categories (POI) to your categories if you will be using applications such MyChamberApp.
