Staff block

The Staff block is a Grid block that lists staff profile cards for a department, group, team, or section page.

This article covers the Grid block. For how staff cards are synced from Google or Office 365, see Staff directory sync. For email display on a card, see Staff email display options. For the Staff terrace, see Staff terrace.

Staff appears in the add menu only on a department, group, team, or section page. It does not appear on a district or school home page.

Adding a Staff block

  1. On a department, group, team, or section page, click the + (Add content) button in the admin menu.
  2. Click Staff.
  3. Enter a Title, set title display and order if needed, then click Add Block.

The editor heading is Add content, with the chip a Staff Block. Default title when unset on the server: Staff Members.

Editing

Click the pencil on the block (Click to edit). Save Changes keeps the edits. Cancel discards them. Delete removes the block.

Field Behavior
Title Required

Without a custom order, names are listed alphabetically by last name.

Visitor behavior

Each row shows a photo or placeholder and the person's name. With titles on, the job title appears under the name. Clicking a row opens the person detail window. Email display follows Staff Contact Options. See Staff email display options.

On phones, Expand appears when the list does not fit the block height.

Constraints

  • The add menu shows Staff only on department, group, team, and section pages.
  • Who appears on the list comes from Groups & OUs sync, not from typing names into the block. See Staff directory sync.

FAQ

  • "Why is Staff missing from the add menu?" You are on a district or school home page, or another page type that does not offer the Staff block. Open a department, group, team, or section page.
  • "How do I add a person to the list?" Map the correct Group or OU. See Staff directory sync.
  • "Can I change the order?" Yes. In the block editor, drag rows under Staff Member Arrangement.
