People Directory

Display a list of people associated with a target department or by tag.

While similar to the People List widget the People Directory widget displays the directory name that the people are located in. This widget is good for displaying a detailed, by department, faculty listing of a school or district.

  • If you are looking to display a faculty list, by department, for a school or district. Choose the main department of the school or district and flip the Deep option to on. This will display everyone that is associated with the main or the sub-departments inside the main department.

Additional Widget Information 

  • If you select "None (sample content)" as the department for the widget to pull information from, dummy text and information will be shown for the entries. This is could be used to create a  page and see how it looks before you have the information that will be displayed.

  • If you are using the People Directory Widget in conjunction with the Rows widget, we recommend not using anything smaller than either the 1/4 x 3/4 or the 3/4 x 1/4 structures. This allows for correct spacing and a cleaner look for the People Directory widget.
