BSD Template Website FAQ

Directories of People

How do I add a directory of people to a BSD template website?

Custom directories of people on a BSD site look something like the following. This component is called a People, Grouped List. A People, Grouped List is composed of one or more groups, with each group having zero or more people inside of it. Groups can optionally have a title.

To add a People, Grouped List to a page that you are editing:

  1. Scroll to to the area of the editor called Components, Main Section (or, if it does not exist, click the button that says Add Components, Main Section).
  2. Click the downward-facing arrow next to Add Accordion Block to reveal a dropdown list of all possible page components.
  3. Click on Add People, Grouped List.

To add more groups to a People, Grouped List:

  1. Click on the Add People, Grouped List Group button.

To add more people to a group:

  1. Click on the Add Item button inside that group.
  2. Type the name of the person into the group item.
  3. Selecting the person’s name when it appears in a dropdown list. For a person’s name to appear, they must be saved as a reference Person on your site. See instructions on that below.


How do I add a reference Person entry to a BSD template website?

To add a Person to your site:

  1. Navigate to the Content tab in the menu bar.
  2. Click on Add content in the top left and then choose Person.
  3. Fill in all the relevant details of the person you would like to add, such as their name, photo, position, and email address.
  4. Click Save when you are finished.

This person can now be referenced by name in a People, Grouped List.
