Directories

A very popular and useful report, the Directory lists the results of a Standard Search, Advanced Find, or Newsletter/Directory grouping (Address reports only) in an easy-to-read, numbered format: Name, Address, Phone. The report is also available to print the results of a Find from the Print button on the Address or Individual record window.

  1. To create a directory, go to ReportsMembership ReportsDirectories → Address Directories

  2. Choose the names and addresses to be included in your report on the Search tab. If you print this report often, consider creating a Saved Search to make this step as simple as a click or two each time you update the report. Searches are common throughout CDM+ and are covered in Advanced Find/Search.
