# Orientation & Navigation

## Directory Modes

**Main Org Directory (view-only)** — Sort, filter, search, and export. No editing. Use for current state analysis and reporting.

**Scenario Directory (editable)** — Everything above plus bulk select, bulk edit, and add/close positions. Use for planning org changes.

## Accessing Directory

* **From the homepage** — Click Directory in the top nav bar, or press `2`
* **From Main Org or Scenario** — Click the Directory/Table icon in the left toolbar (toggles with org chart; filters persist)
* **From Workforce Hub** — Some charts include a "View in Directory" link that opens Directory pre-filtered to the chart's data

## Navigating Large Datasets

Pagination — Change rows per page (25/50/100/500) at the bottom of the table. Sorting works across all pages, not just the current one.

:bulb: **Protip:** Filter first to reduce total rows, then sort the filtered subset — much faster than paginating through 800+ positions.

## Keyboard Shortcuts

| Action                          | Shortcut |

| Return to Org Chart             | `1`      |

## Troubleshooting
