re: Are there any shortcodes that would enable the Category Grid view for this:

Sorry, not sure what you are asking… [connections_categories] is the shortcode to output the categories as configured in the setting on any page. You would want to use the home_id option to set the page ID of the directory, like so:

[connections home_id="x"] where x would equal the directory page ID.
