- The snippet will be added to your page. It will look like a large table:

- Fill in the table provided with the Format desired, Order of items to be listed, and Username of the individual(s) to be listed on the directory.
The Username will pull in directory information automatically for each user. If you would like
to override any of the content, you can fill in the columns on the table.
