Directory Channel

Directory Channel

Each Directory entry represents a person in the directory. It does not generate a login for the person (that is a User). You can include basic or detailed profile information, including job title(s), portrait, attached CV, gallery, etc.

If you establish and assign categories for types of people (ex: faculty, staff) or other divisions (ex:administration, technical support, grant specialists), you can create multiple directories within your site and/or allow users to filter directory results by category.

PSU ID

This field is used for sites that integrate with Elsevier Pure (example); if your site does not provide Pure data, this field can be left blank.

Featured Faculty

If you toggle this option ON, you can use it to put these people at the top of a list when you build a Channel Listing.

Sort Priority

Specify the precise order directory entries appear when called in a Channel Listing. (For #1 to appear the top of the list, make sure your Channel Listing sort order is “Ascending.”)

Contacts

In the Contact Tab, provide optional contact information. You may use text to describe and differentiate multiple social accounts from one another. If no text is entered, the social accounts will appear as icons.
