You can add a custom column to your group directory as a way to list an attribute for your group members. This is an optional feature available for you - it is not required.
Once a custom column is added, when you add a new member or edit an existing member you will be able to assign a value for that member. The custom column and all values will appear on your Group Directory and all group members will see it.
Here are a few ways you might want to use this.
1. If your group is divided into a Red Team and a Blue Team you can create a custom column called Team. Then you can assign each member to the appropriate team.
2. If you use an external system to run your games online, you might need to know each member's username in that system. For the purpose of this example, let's say the external system is called Your Game. You can create a custom column called Your Game Username and then enter each member's username.
3. If you rotate management of your games, you can create a custom column called Management Date and then put the date that each member will manage the game. In this case, you'll need to regularly update the dates.
4. If your group members have different roles within the group, you can create a custom column called Role. Then you can enter each member's role - President, VP, etc.
How to create a custom column
When you create your group, there are 2 fields you can enter (or leave them blank if you don't want to use a custom column)
The first field is the name of the column. The second field is the value that should be entered for you.
If your group already exists and you want to add, or change, a custom column, click the Manage Tab in your group and then go to Group Settings. From there, you can add or update the name of the custom column.
How to add values to the custom column for each member
From your group's Manage Tab, click on Edit Member. You can add or update that member's value for the custom column here. Once you update it, it will be visible for all members in the Group Directory.
