A Directory Page on Almabase
Setting up a Directory on Almabase involves two key processes:
Collecting the necessary information via a form and then
Displaying this information in a created and published directory.
Part 1: Collecting Information
The first step is gathering the information you want to list in the directory.
Step 1: Create a Form for Submissions
Create a form specifically for directory submissions.
Step 2: Add Fields to the Form
Incorporate fields in the form to collect details from users.
Note: The fields added here will be the ones displayed in the Directory.
Step 3: Enable Form Submissions
Once the required fields are set up, turn the toggle ON to accept submissions.
You're now ready to collect details from users.
Tip: Share the form via social media, email, or publish it on a page for better reach.
Part 2: Listing/Displaying the Information
Once you have the form set up for collecting information, the next step is to create a directory to display this information.
Step 1: Create a Directory
On the admin panel, go to "Tools" > "Directories".
Click on the plus icon to add a directory.
Note: If this option is not visible, contact your account manager or email us at help@almabase.com.
Step 2: Name the Directory and Select the Form
Enter a name for the directory and select the previously created form as the source for details.
Step 3: Configure Display Settings
Choose which form fields to display in the Directory.
Set up the summary view and other fields as needed.
Step 4: Preview & Embed
Check the Preview & Embed tab to see how the directory will look once published.
Note: If there are no form submissions yet, the preview will be empty.
Click on one of the cards for a detailed view and reorder fields in the Settings tab if necessary.
Publishing the Directory
Once submissions begin via the form, you can publish the directory on a page.
