- The household phone, email and FAX information is used if these are shared among all residents of the household. If you provide a household contact, do not duplicate it as a personal contact, otherwise it will be repeated in the directory listing as being a contact for the individual and again as the household contact.
- You can change your preferences for delivery of a peper newsletter or directory by changing the "Paper Deliveries" on the right side of the top-most section below. A check in the box means you want these deliveries to be made.
- Only the first and last names are required.
- Either the household email or a personal email must match the email used in your FHA website login to permit you to edit this entry. If you don't provide an email you will get an error if you later try to use the "Directory->Update Preferences" page on the top menu.
- Phone numbers don't need punctuation. We strip all but the numbers out before storing. They DO require an area code. The following are all OK entries: (919) 555-1212, 919-555-1212, 919 555 1212, 9195551212.
- If provided, the email is checked only to see that it "looks like" an email address, not to see if it's a "real" email address, so type carefully.
- When you change a directory field the "Update..." button gets highlighted. You must click this button to save your changes.
- When you save changes you will see a confirmation that the changes "took". This confirmation is shown for a few seconds, then disappears.
- After you click the "Update..." button an email indicating your changes will be sent to a number of people. The email will show old and new info for each field, and will indicate by name and email that you made the change. You will receive a copy of this email. To avoid a flood of emails it's best to try and avoid making multiple changes to your info at the same session. In other words, if you want to change your cell number and emails, update both on the page before saving the changes.
NOTE:If you aren't sure how to make the change you are trying to make, please email directory@fearringtonfha.org and we'll take care of it.
