Content

First name and last name are combined together but are captured separately to allow easier sorting/filtering.

Person Photo, Credentials, Title/Position, Email, Phone Number, Websites, Biography and Education Information are all straight forward.

Person Types

For default sites, person types allows you to classify a person by one or more types. This information will display on the full person display. Depending on the type(s) selected, additional fields may display.

Research Areas

This allows multiple single line values that shared/reusable on other individual person profiles.

Contact Information

This combination of fields allows multiple points of contact for an individual with the ability to provide a custom label for each (e.g. separate contact information for home, work, lab, etc.).

Short Biography

A short biography or description should be provided as it will be used on teaser displays and the default for SEO meta descriptions. We recommend descriptions between 50–160 characters, although the “optimal” length will vary depending on the situation.

Relationships (Tags)

You can create relationships to taxonomy terms. Commonly used to organize and classify content behind the scenes.

You can reference existing tags ( using autocomplete) or create new tags by typing comma-separated terms.

Additionally, to view existing tags, go to /admin/structure/taxonomy/manage/tags/overview.

Promotion Options

You can select Hide on lists if you don’t wish to display the particular person people displays throughout the website. This is helpful if an article author is added to the website that should not otherwise be displayed on the website.

Sticky at top of lists can be used to place an individual above other people on name ordered lists.
