Customizing a Faculty Profile Page
Adding Multiple Positions/Titles
Any number of positions/titles can be included on a profile page. If you followed the instructions in Creating a Faculty Profile Page, your page should already contain one title.
- For profile pages containing two positions/titles
- For profile pages containing three or more positions/title
For profile pages containing two positions/titles
The following instructions assume that the Position/Title faculty profile property has already been filled.
- Open the page properties and click the Faculty Profile tab.
- Enter the second position into the Additional Position/Title field. Save the changes.
- Open the component containing the person's name and position.
- On a new line type ${additionalPosition} under ${position}. Make sure to set its format to Heading 3. Save the changes.
- The component will now display two positions.
For profile pages containing three or more positions/titles
Before proceeding, complete the For profile pages containing two positions/titles instructions above.
- Open the component containing the person's name and position.
- Type the remaining positions under ${additionalPosition}. Each title should be created on a new line and make sure to set the text format to Heading 3. Save the changes.
- The component will now display all the positions.
Customizing positions/titles
The position/title content can be customized, such as including the department name beside one of the position variables. In the example below, the faculty member's school name is entered after the position variable.
Adding additional content
As with all content page templates, you can insert any component onto a profile page. For additional sections of content, it's recommended that they be entered in the Text component containing the Biography, or in a new component.
Referencing Page Properties
Page properties are referenced in the Faculty Profile Page template through the extensive use of Dynamic Text components and variables.
The highlighted elements in the screenshot below show the location of the corresponding page properties' fields. For example, if "Rudyard" was written in the First Name field, it would replace "First Name". However, a blank page property field will return nothing.
There are only three Personal Information page properties that are not referenced on the page: Additional Position/Title, Department, and Areas of Interests.
Profile Variables
These variables are specific to the Faculty Profile Page Template. They may also be used in a Custom Display List template. For a list of generic page variables, visit the Dynamic Text Component page.
