Directoryz

Choose required fields for a directory listing

Required fields should support the visitor's first decision. Making every possible detail mandatory can block useful submissions without improving the directory.

Directoryz editorial guide · Updated September 7, 2026

Put it into practice

Write the question each field answers. Require the fields needed to identify, classify, and contact or visit the listing; leave secondary detail optional.

What this looks like

An integration listing may need product name, supported task, documentation URL, and connection type. A team-size field may add little to that decision.

Before you move on

Could a visitor understand the listing with only the required fields completed?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Choose a representative set of listings.
  2. Record the source and meaning of each field.
  3. Review the public result before applying changes widely.
