If any of your folks have expressed a desire to NOT appear in your ShalomCloud membership directory — – or, if they wish to not appear in the member portal search — here is how you’d fulfill that wish.
First, create a family attribute, specifically with the abbreviation _EXCL. That’s uppercase EXCL, preceded by an underscore.
Then, you’d proceed to tag the privacy-oriented families, using Maintenance -> Assign Family Attr.
Once so tagged, when you produce a directory (Queries -> Produce Directory), that entire household does not appear.
Also, in the member search section of the logged-in member portal, people in the excluded families do not appear.
