The record

Product: Connections is a directory plugin for WordPress that can create address books, staff directories, business directories, and link directories.
Entry scale: The maker says the plugin can manage directories containing hundreds of thousands of entries.
Fields: Entries can have repeatable addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, IM, social media, links, and dates.
Templates: The plugin includes basic templates, and premium templates customize how directory entries display on the site’s front end.
Extensions: The maker offers free and premium extensions, including CSV import, visitor submission forms, and custom entry ordering.
Integrations: The Pro Pack includes connectors for Frontend File Manager and Gravity Forms, which the maker describes as add-ons connecting Connections to selected third-party plugins.
Directory privacy: Directory settings can require logged-in WordPress users to view the directory, and entries can be marked public, private, or unlisted.
Email privacy: The Contact extension lets visitors email directory entries without displaying their email addresses and includes email logging and anti-spam measures.
Support: Premium extensions include free support and updates for the first year; continued support and updates afterward require an annual support license.
CSV import: The CSV Import extension is described as a way to bulk import contact details from spreadsheet applications.
Submission moderation: The Form extension places visitor submissions in a moderation queue and can email administrators when submissions arrive.
Mapping requirement: The cMap template requires Google Maps API keys for maps to load, and the documentation notes Google may charge fees at increased geocoding limits.
Developer tools: The maker says Connections provides hundreds of developer actions and filters for custom functionality.
Data deletion: The settings documentation says enabling Remove Data on Uninstall permanently erases directory data, settings, and tables when the plugin is deleted.
