People
For use in the main content area.
The People widget can be used to show the faculty and staff who work in your unit, department, or college.
The first step in the process is to update/edit the person's People page which is in the Content tab of Sitefinity. See Playbook instructions. It pulls in the information directly from the profiles and creates uniform department and college directories across the website. This page serves as the single source of truth for your area's faculty and staff and it features general information such as photo, name, title, phone number, and email. There's also a link that goes back to the profile.
