Online Picture Directory
========================

This feature allows a church to create an online directory
with photos, contact information, and date of birth (month/day only).

This will be located at this URL: ``mychurch.tpsdb.com/PictureDirectory``. This requires a **Setting** called `PictureDirectorySelector` which points to a **Status Flag**.
A church may have only one online picture directory.

    Sample Online Directory

Quick Start for the Directory
-----------------------------

#. Create a Search Builder search for all Members of the church and whatever other conditions you want.
#. Create a Status Flag by saving the search as ``Picture Directory``.
#. Go to `Administration > Setup > Settings > System > Administration` and enter ``PictureDirectory`` or whatever status flag name you used in the `PictureDirectorySelector` setting.
#. View your directory at **https://**\ `yourchurch`\ **.tpsdb.com/PictureDirectory**
   where `yourchurch` is your church domain.

Who can view a directory?
-------------------------
Only those who are displayed in the directory as part of the group can view the directory.  
If the person has opted out from the directory they will not be able to view it either.  
Additionally, the person must be log in to view this directory.

Exception: An `Admin` user can view any online directory without being in the directory.
And the `Admin` role is required to set up this directory.

.. note::
    If you use the `PictureDirectorySelector` Setting,
    you can access the directory on the home page of the
    church's TouchPoint database under the **People** heading
    in the main menu.

.. _SearchSortView:

Search, Sort, View, and Active Links
------------------------------------
Search
    You can search by part or all of a name by entering it in
    the text box labeled `Part of Name` and pressing `Search`
    or by hitting Enter on your keyboard.
    Only those matching the text you entered will be displayed.

    Press the `Clear` button to return to the full directory
    after searching or to return to the normal sort order after
    changing the sort.

Sort
    All families are kept together even if the last names are different.
    The default sort is by **last name, first name of the Head of Household**
    with his/her family members listed below that name.
    If you sort by the Birthday header and want to return to the default
    sort, click the `Name` header.

    If your church is displaying the date of birth,
    you can click the `Birthday` heading to sort by the month and day
    to find those with upcoming birthdays.
    If will not sort starting with January,
    but by anyone who has a birthday on the current day or later.
    This is designed to help you acknowledge someone's birthday,
    not to compile a birthday list.

View Photo
    Small images of the person's individual photo will display.
    Click the `image` to view the full version.
    Click again to return.

Links
    The `email` link will be active only if the person viewing the directory
    has access to view that person's record, either as an Involvement Leader user
    or as a staff member. Clicking it will open an email in that person's
    default email client.

    The `person` link (the person's name) will be active only
    if the person viewing the directory has access to view that person's record,
    either as an Involvement Leader user or as a staff member.
    Clicking the link will open that person's people record in a new tab.
