Edit a personnel block to update a person’s information. The Personnel or Faculty/Staff page will automatically update to show the update after the block is submitted and published.

Note: The name of the block should be the person's name. If the block is named "personnel" or is an incorrect name, contact the Digital Team for assistance at web-team@iup.edu. 

1. Go into your-site/_blocks/personnel subfolder.

2. Click the pink Add Content button at the top of the page.

3. Select Blocks > Personnel.

4. Rename the block. Change the “XHTML/Data Definition Block Name” field to the person's name, using the format lastname-firstname. Do not leave it as the default "personnel."

5. In the Placement Folder, ensure the destination directory (folder) is correct:
   your site/_blocks/personnel

6. Fill out the person's information. Note that fields marked with an asterisk are required.

7. When entering phone and/or fax numbers, be sure to include the correct hyphens as shown in the examples.

8. If you wish to add additional titles, addresses, and emails, you can do so by clicking the green + button, which appears when you move over or into that section.

9. If you wish to add an image, you can do so by choosing a file in the Image section.  Be sure to note the width of the image file (in pixels) so you can designate if it is responsive or non-responsive in the Image Size section. (Responsive - 737px wide. Non-responsive - anything less than 737px wide. Learn more about image sizes.)

10. The Extra Information section at the bottom can be used to display any additional information about the individual. This will be displayed on the page as an expandable box below their initial information.

11. Finally, you can choose to include a Homepage Link, which will link to the person's personal page. If the page is on the iup.edu website, you will make this an internal IUP link. If it's an external link, you simply need to enter the URL in the text field.

12. Make sure that all of the entered information is correct, and then submit the personnel block for approval in the top right of the window.

Each listing block in that folder is a group. Each of these blocks holds one or more individual blocks.

You can edit a personnel-listing block to add or remove people from the group and also to change the name of the group as it appears on the page. Check your Personnel page in Cascade to see the automatic update after the block is submitted and published.

1. Go into your-site/_blocks/personnel-listing subfolder.

2. Click the pink Add Content button at the top of the page.

3. Select Blocks > Personnel Group Listing.

4. Rename the block. Change the “XHTML/Data Definition Block Name” field to the group name. (This will not appear on the website.) Do not leave the name as the default "personnel-group-listing-block."

5. In the Placement Folder, ensure the destination directory is correct.
   your site/_blocks/personnel-listing

6. For the Display Personnel at Full Width? option, select Yes if you wish for the personnel blocks in this group to appear at full page width instead of the standard half-width.

7. In the Personnel Block Choose, click Choose Block and add your previously created Personnel block.

8. To add additional personnel blocks, simply click the green + icon. From there you should be able to add/remove/re-order your personnel blocks as needed.

9. Make sure all of the entered information is correct, then submit the personnel group listing block for approval in the top right of the window.

1. View the page on which you want to add a personnel listing, and click the Edit button at the top.

2. Scroll down to the Content Row > Column > Type = Personnel

3. In the Column bar, click the green + sign to add a new group.

4. In the new Column, set the Type to Personnel.

5. Under Personnel Options, you can choose if you’d rather add a single block or a group listing block. If you are adding a personnel-listing block, select Personnel Group Listing Block.

6. Next, set the Column Width. In this instance, the standard 12 Column Span will typically be the best choice.

7. In the Block Choose, select one of your previously created group listing blocks. (Be sure to choose a block type that matches the option selected in Personnel Options. For instance, if you chose Personnel Group Listing Block, make sure that you choose a Group Listing asset in the block chooser.)

8. If you wish to add multiple listing blocks/groups on the page, you can do so by creating another Content Row/Column.

9. Preview the page to make sure the listing blocks are displaying the way you want.

   • If someone's information is incorrect, fix it by editing the individual's block. 

   • If people are in the wrong position within a group, fix it by editing that personnel-listing block.

   • If groups are in the wrong order on a page, continue editing the page and move their columns up or down, then check the Preview again.

   • If someone's name is repeated, or if odd characters appear instead of a name, then there is a blank field in the selected listing block. Fix it by editing that block. 

   • Remember: You can close the page without submitting it, and your draft will be saved. You can come back and continue editing it anytime. 

10. If the page looks the way you want, you can submit the page for approval in the top right of the window.

If you are certain that it will not affect any other pages, then you can choose to delete a person’s individual block.
