Faculty Directory Component - v3
Faculty Directory
Display a directory of active faculty and staff from the USF Faculty Directory Database.
The Faculty Directory component is only available on pre-existing directory pages. If your website requires a new faculty directory page, please submit a support ticket to have one setup.
Adding, Moving, & Deleting the Component
All components share the same processes to be added, moved, and deleted.
Adding and Removing People in the Directory
USF faculty and staff members are added and removed from the directory in a single interface. People can easily be added and removed with just their NetID.
Hover your mouse cursor over the component preview and click the yellow Edit button that appears over the top right. A new modal window will open with the Faculty List.
Faculty List
Column 1 - Preview of person’s last name.
Column 2 - Field to enter the NetID of the person to be displayed. (required)
Column 3 - Field to manually enter the person’s title or position. (optional)
Organizing People Into Sections
The Faculty Directory component automatically alphabetizes everyone in the list. If you need to display a separate category of people on the same page (for example: faculty and staff), simply add a new directory component to the page and add a headline to each one.
List View
If the people you are adding do not have photos in their profiles, you can use the component options to display them in a list view instead.
Component Options
Clicking the gear icon at the top right of the component’s control bar expands the options where you can adjust the component’s features.
Headline - Add a short headline of text to the top of the component.
Theme - Change the look by selecting between three different visual styles.
List View - Toggle that changes the layout from a grid with images to a styled list.
Save - Commit any changes to the options.
Deleting a Directory
Like other components, directories can be deleted from within the component. This is an alternate way to start over without deleting the entire component.
Hover your cursor over the directory that you want to delete.
Hovering reveals the control buttons.
Click the red Delete button.
A message will pop up asking for your confirmation.
If you clicked by mistake, click the gray Cancel button in the lower right and nothing will be deleted.
To confirm deletion, click the blue OK button in the lower right. The window message will update to tell you that the item was deleted and ask to refresh the page. Click OK again.
The page will refresh and the deleted directory will be gone and a green outlined box with a large plus symbol will be in its place.
If you deleted an directory by mistake, it can be recovered from the Sitecore Recycle Bin.
Updating Faculty Information
In order to add or change a faculty photo, degrees/credentials, or email address, faculty members must update their profile in Faculty Directory.
The Faculty Directory application allows faculty, researchers, providers and their proxies to upload and edit profile information directly. The faculty/provider web page pulls dynamically from Faculty Directory. So once the change is made in the application, it will be reflected immediately on their profile.
New Faculty Directory Login: https://cloud.usf.edu/FacultyDirectory/view/faculty
After logging in, faculty can use the tabs at the top of the table to search for and edit their profile by Net Id, first or last name, or email.
For proxy assignments, please contact Gina Rathbun at grathbun@usf.edu
