Faculty / Staff Directory is a CMS widget that lists the school's active staff on a portal page, with each staff member's photo, name, position, office, phone and email. The widget can be found within the Directory group. Please review Adding CMS Widget for more information.
Visitors search with two search rows, which open on Last Name and Division, and choose to show 10, 25, 50, 100 or all staff per page. The number of staff that match the search shows below the list. Phone numbers and email addresses are links that start a call or an email.
Columns chooses which columns appear, the Header Text of each, and the screen size at which each column hides (Hide). The columns are Photo, Name, Nickname, Pronouns, the external link column, Position, Office, Phone and Email. Photo shows the staff member's photo, or a placeholder when there is none.
Check Publish Online lists only staff whose household has Publish on online directory checked. When it is not checked, every active staff member appears.
Limit To Divisions lists only staff assigned to one of the selected divisions, through their user account or their class sections. When no division is selected, staff from every division appear.
Teacher Filter limits the directory to staff in the selected saved filter. When it is empty, no filter applies.

Linking staff names
Teacher Page Presenter Page is the CMS page that opens in a new tab when a visitor clicks a staff name. The link passes the staff member to the page, so widgets on it that show a selected teacher, such as Teacher Page Presenter, show that staff member. A name links only when the staff member has saved a Teacher Page with the Teacher Page widget in the Staff group, unless Link All Teachers is checked.
Link All Teachers links every staff name to the Teacher Page Presenter Page, including staff who have not saved a Teacher Page. Use it when the presenter page shows information from the staff record, such as the teacher's schedule or bio. A page built on the Teacher Page Presenter widget shows only the Teacher Pages that teachers have saved.
Teacher Community Page is the CMS page that opens when a visitor clicks the name of a staff member who has a Content Type of their own, created with the Teacher Page Wizard widget in the Staff group. Clicking the name selects that Content Type and opens the page. For these staff members the name opens the Teacher Community Page in place of the Teacher Page Presenter Page, and is not linked when Teacher Community Page is empty.
Teacher U R L Caption shows the external link column and is the text of each link in it, for example Bio. The link opens the URL on the staff member's record in Campus. When the record has no URL, the link opens the Teacher Page Presenter Page for staff whose names link to it. When Teacher U R L Caption is empty, the column is hidden.
External Url Opens To New Page set to Yes opens the external link in a new tab.
Example: To open each teacher's schedule from the directory, place teacher schedule widgets on a CMS page, set Teacher Page Presenter Page to that page, check Link All Teachers, and leave Teacher Community Page empty.
The widget also has the settings described in CMS Widget - Standard Properties.
