People List

For use in the main content area.

The People list 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. 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.

Widget standards

A layout is needed for this widget.

Do:

Only place this widget in the main content area.
If a faculty or staff member leaves the university, you will need to remove them from the widget manually.

Do NOT:

Use multiple people widgets to add each individual person to your page. Use one people widget with multiple people in it.
Add a placeholder image to a people page. Since images are optional, the system will automatically populate an Action C for the profile image when no image is added.
