Choose an intuitive order
Alphabetical, floor-based and department-based structures serve different buildings. Use the organizing method that matches the visitor’s question, and keep names consistent with room and entrance signs. Avoid filling every available line if the building is likely to add occupants.
Plan the update mechanism
A directory with frequent tenant changes needs a different construction approach from a stable one. Discuss replaceable strips, inserts or separate panels where appropriate. Establish who maintains the content list and checks spelling before each production update.

A few useful answers.
