A few churches have requested the ability to have finer controls over the contents of public profiles, such as the ability to only show a person's email address, but not their phone number. This is common when a person wants to be listed in the public directory, but doesn't necessarily want all of their info to be made available, just a minimal set so other people know they're there and can contact them by their preferred means. So, I just deployed the ability for public profiles to be "limited" which will allow just this.

It's pretty easy to set up. Simply edit the person you'd like to make a limited profile from, and near the bottom of the form, make sure the "published" option is selected, and you'll see a new option for "limited profile."

If you click that, two new checkboxes will appear for email and phone. Go ahead and choose which means of contact you'd like to make available, if any, and update the person's record. From then on, anyone who logs in without advanced permission will only see that person listed in the people section, but their name will not be linked to their detailed info card, and only the checked items will appear in the list. For instance, with the options in the example image, only their email address will appear, even if they have a phone number in their profile. They could just as easily have both available, or neither. Admins with the correct permission, however, will be able to view all their info like normal.

This will now give your congregation a lot more control over the information they want to make available to everyone else, and will enable people to be listed without making everything open to the entire church. Let me know if you have any questions or comments!
