Create Profile

Staff listing pages are composed of collections of individual Profiles. Updating a Profile makes corresponding change to every staff listing in that group displaying it.

To create a Profile, select "Nodes" and you'll see a list of all available nodes in your group. Choose "Add New Content" then choose "Profile" in the list of content types.

  • Sort Ranking: This determines the order in which profiles appear in a listing of profiles. The higher the number, the higher in the list the profile will appear. For example, a department head should have a ranking of 9 in order to appear at the top of the list. If you are unsure about this, leave it at the default value of 5.
