Staff Module

Use this module to add or edit staff members on the Staff (or Meet the Team) Page.

Note: This module was launched in Q3 2017, after which time every site built will have the module installed by default. Though some older sites have had staff page content migrated to the module, the majority of the sites built before Q3 2017 will not have the module installed. To check if a specific site has the staff module available, refer to the Site Specs section of the Project Overview in the Dashboard. This entry is only applicable for sites with the Staff Module active.

Preliminary Staff Page Set-Up

Before this module can be used, Development must build/publish the Staff Page in the iMarket CMS and enable the module. Open a ticket to Development if this page does not exist yet and/or if the module is not enabled.

Styling

At this time, the Staff page does not use custom styling provided by the Design team. However, the Developer may make small tweaks to the default styling to better suit the overall site design at the time of building the staff page.

What Can I Add?

Staff Members (Employees)
Click the “Add Staff Member” tab to add an employee. You can add the following information for each employee:

  • First Name – Required
  • Last Name
  • Job Title
  • Photo
    • To Remove a Photo: Check the “remove photo” box and “save” to delete the employee photo completely. Note: you do not need to delete the existing photo in order to upload a new one.
    • To Crop a Photo: When you select a photo for uploading you will have the option to crop it. The dimensions the cropping tool is set to will have been configured ahead of time by Development to match the size on the Staff page. Note: you do not need to crop the photo if it already has the appropriate dimensions.
  • Photo Alt Tag (A short description of the photo, for use by SEO)
  • Biography
  • Department of Member (Employee’s department. You can add or remove departments using the Staff module)
  • Email (Enter the employee’s email address, if desired.
