Edit a participant in the directory

Sitekit's Directory module has been deprecated as of autumn 2015 it will no longer appear or be supported in any new sites. It has been replaced by the new post system which is far more flexible.

To edit a participant's details in the directory:

1. In the Directory area of the manage tab, click Participants.
2. In the Edit Participants section type the Participant Name or Contact Surname.
   If your bespoke configuration of Sitekit CMS includes categorisation you can filter the list of participants by geographical area and/or category using the drop-down lists.

   Make the changes that you need to the following fields.

Self Edit Data Owner - it is possible for a participant to be added to the directory by an 'owner' of the participant via a form on a website, in which case it is also possible that the owner can edit the details of the participant via the same website, without having to use the Sitekit CMS administration system. If this participant has such an 'owner' select the name from the drop-down list.
