Overview
The Directory Widgets are a group of widgets that are used to create a searchable and filterable directory listing of people. The collection consists of four (4) widgets:
Organization Widget
This widget is used to store the information details of an Organization, School, or Business. See the Organization Widget page for more information.
Department Widget
This widget is used to store the information details of a Department of an Organization, School, or Business. See the Department Widget page for more information.
Person Widget
This widget is used to store the information details of a Person or member of an Organization. See the Person Widget page for more information.
Directory Widget
This widget is used to populate the directory list of people from the data stored in the previous three widgets. See the Directory Widget page for more information.
Asset Organization
The correct configuration of the directory assets in your CM1 Assets folder is as follows:
Under the root /Asset folder in your Finder Window, create a new folder named "directories".
Under the "directories" folder create a folder for each organization you have. For example, for multiple schools or multiple businesses it is recommended to create a separate folder for each Organization.
Create a new Organization Shared Asset within this Organization folder and fill out of field of the widget to store the details of your Organization.
Under an organization folder create a new folder for each Department within your organization.
Create a new Department Shared Asset in each Department folder and fill out of field of the widget to store the details of your Department.
Under each Department folder create a folder to contain the people assets for that given department. This folder can further be subdivided into additional folders to more easily organize a large collection of people, such as alphabetical separation (folder "A", folder "B", etc.) or alphabetic groups (folder "A-C", folder "D-F", etc.)
Within each "people" folder is where you can create a new Person Shared Asset to contain the information details for each member of a department & organization.
