When you first enter
the Directory, you will see records for 40 individuals on the page,
in alphabetical order by first name. Click the Next 40 link at
the bottom of the list to see the next 40 records, and so on. The list
of records you see will consist of the individual's Name, Title and
Institution, unless you use the options function (see Options
below). To see all the details about an individual, click the blue
check mark in the details column on the right.
Scroll down this
page to read the instructions for using the functions located at the
top of the directory, including: Options, Search, Advanced Search,
View All Records.
Search
Simple searches
can be done by entering terms into the Search box at the top
of the Directory. All fields in all records will be searched for the
term you enter into the Search box. Multiple words in the search
box will be interpreted as a single term. There is no "and"
or "or" option for searching multiple terms simultaneously.
Advanced
Search
A more refined search
can be done using the Advanced Search function. Click on Advanced
Search at the top of the directory to get to the search form. Enter
search terms into the appropriate fields on this form. Only fields for
which you have entered a search term will be searched. This is generally
a more effective way to search, especially if you are using multiple
search terms. Multiple words in any given field will be interpreted
as a single term. There is no "and" or "or" option
for searching multiple terms simultaneously within the same field.
Options
Records per Page
Use this function to set the number of records that will appear
on the page when you search. The default number of records that will
appear is 40.
Sort Field (primary/secondary)
Using this function, you can define the order in which the records
will appear. For example, set the primary sort field (the first box)
to state and set the secondary sort field (the second box) to
city - this will return the records in alphabetical order by
state, and within states, the cities will also be in alphabetical order.
Note: in this scenario, you will only see the city and state
if you select them in Viewable Columns (below).
Remember: you can always click the blue check mark on the right
to view all the details in any individual record.
Viewable Columns
Use this function to change the details that initially appear when
you do a search. The default columns that will appear are Name, Title,
and Institution. Remember: you can always click the check mark
on the right to view all the details in any individual record.
View as Defined:
Once you have selected the viewing options described above, click the
View as Defined button.
