Module 2: People

Hello, and welcome back to Module 2 of the Basic CMS Training. In this video we will introduce you to people posts.

Here is an example of a People post. As you can see, it can be used to display the profiles and contact information of each member of your Department.

And here is a People listing. Each of these cards is linked to a People post. People listings are used to display all members of your Department.

Now let’s create a new people post. In the title field, you can enter the person’s name. If you scroll down, you will see the “People Profiles” field, which allows you to provide a variety of the person’s information, such as first and last name, title, degrees, contact information, social media profiles, and more. You can also upload a photo of the person.

Finally, the blank text box up here allows you to provide any additional information about the person, such as their biography, research interests, publications, and so on.

Once you’re done filling out information, add the person to a category, and click “save” or “publish”.

To pull your People listing onto a page, go to your page and click “Add Post Element”. Then click “List People”. You can then select which category of People you want to display, and limit how many items you want to list. Once you’re done, click “Insert Element”.
