Directory overview

Everyone connected to your provider in one place: business, workers, participants, and contacts.

Last updated · 2 August 2026


The directory is a single page that lists every person and organisation connected to your provider workspace. It is partly a read-through view of records that live elsewhere (your business, your workers and your participants) and partly a contacts register you build here (plan managers, support coordinators, clinicians, and other external contacts).

Open it from RecordsDirectory.

Switch between four views

One page holds four views. Use the icon toggle at the top right of the panel to switch between them. Hover an icon to see its name. The directory opens on Business and employees.

The directory on the Business and employees view, showing the four-icon view toggle at the top right of the panel, a Status filter and a Search box at the top left, and a table of the provider business and its workers with Provider / employee, Status, Phone, Email and Account columns.
1The four-icon view toggle: Business and employees, Participants, Professional contacts, and Contacts.
2Filter the current view by status.
3Search the current view by name, phone or email.
4Your business appears as one row with a Business badge.
View What it shows Columns
Business and employees The active provider workspace, employees, and support workers. This is the default view. Provider / employee, Status, Phone, Email, Account
Participants Participants connected to this provider workspace. Participant, Status, State, Phone, Email
Professional contacts Plan managers, support coordinators, and clinicians. Name, Status, Type, Phone, Email
Contacts External contacts not in another category: nominees, guardians, family, advocates, government, provider partners, emergency contacts, and others. Name, Status, Type, Subtype, Linked to, Phone, Email

Each view has its own Status filter and a Search box that matches any text in the row, so you can find a person by name, phone or email without leaving the view you are in. Long lists page 20 rows at a time, with the pager under the table.

The panel title above the table names your provider (for example “Acme Care and employees”) on the Business and employees view. Empty Phone, Email or State cells read Not set. On Contacts, Subtype shows the business name for organisation-type contacts and is blank for personal ones (nominee, guardian, family, emergency contact); Linked to shows the participant’s name if the contact is linked to one, or Provider if it isn’t.

Note

A plan manager, support coordinator or clinician linked to more than one participant still only needs entering once per participant, but Professional contacts shows it as a single row rather than one row per participant. See Add a contact for how that matching works and why an email matters for these three types.

Where records come from

The first two views are read-only roll-ups. Workers come from the Workers page and participants come from the Participants page, so you add and edit them there, not here.

New records are only created in the two contact views. When you switch to Professional contacts or Contacts, an Add contact button appears at the top right, provided your role has permission to create directory contacts; if it doesn’t, the button doesn’t appear.

The directory on the Professional contacts view, showing the Add contact button at the top right of the page, the view toggle with the Professional contacts icon active, and Type and Status filters above a table of plan managers, support coordinators and clinicians.
1Add contact appears in the Professional contacts and Contacts views.
2The Professional contacts icon is active.
3Filter contacts by Type and Status.

If a view has nothing in it yet, you see an empty state instead of a table:

View Empty state
Business and employees “No provider employees yet” - Add workers from the Workers page.
Participants “No participants yet” - Add participants from the Participants page.
Professional contacts “No professional contacts yet” - Add plan managers, coordinators, or clinicians.
Contacts “No directory contacts yet” - Add contacts for this provider.

Opening a row

Selecting a row in Business and employees or Participants opens that worker’s or participant’s full profile if your role can read that area. Without read access, it opens a narrow read-only summary panel instead, showing a handful of key fields; if your role can also archive workers or participants, the summary panel adds an Archive worker or Archive participant button that takes you to the Workers or Participants page with the archive prompt for that record already open. Selecting a row in Professional contacts or Contacts always opens that contact’s own edit drawer, since Directory owns those records directly.

Note

Everything in the directory is scoped to the provider workspace you have selected. If a person you expect is missing, check you are in the right workspace.
