Directory Help

The Directory is the foundation of the PAS Network and allows members to network, join specialized communities, manage personal profile and privacy settings and communicate with other PAS members (contacts). Profile information is used to auto-create communities (networks) of people that share common interests. The Directory lists all networks, chapters, committees and member-created discussions.

PAS Network members may contact you by inviting you to become their contact, inviting you to join a community, or sending you a message. Notifications will be stored in your Inbox in “My Messages” in the PAS Network. Notifications may also be forwarded to an email address based on your selected preferences.

Q: How do I set my Directory and Profile preferences? A: You can control what information is seen by other PAS members inside the PAS Network by selecting your profile preferences:

1. Navigate to: My Profile > My Privacy Settings
2. Select the answers to the preference questions
3. Click Save

Q: Can I have all of my PAS Network Directory activity emailed directly to my work/personal email address?
A: Yes. You can have Contact Requests, Community Invitations, Messages and Comments forwarded directly to the email that is listed as your notification email.

1. Navigate to: My Profile > My Privacy Settings
2. Select “click here to change” if you wish to change the email address.

Q: Can I opt out of the PAS Network Directory and limit information that is seen on my Profile?

A: Yes.

Q: What are “My Networks” and why am I automatically part of that community? A: Networks within the PAS Network are automatically created based on the information in your profile. Currently, Networks are only created based on your City, State, Primary Company and Job History answers.
