Creating a team member

This guide will walk you through the process of adding a new team member to the CERG team page.

Prerequisites

Have these details for the team member ready to fill in the page:

  • Name
  • What they do (i.e. Political Science professor @ SFU)
  • Bio (paragraph or two about their work/research & what they do within CERG)
  • Contact Information (i.e. LinkedIn URL, email, etc.)
  • Headshot photo (square, 1:1 ratio, at least 500px x 500px)

Adding page properties to the team member page

Fill in the page

While most content is added through Page Properties, some content is added directly to the page. This includes:

Content to be added Type of content Example Where it goes
Team Member Bio A paragraph or two about their work/research See example page for example Text field on right side of page
Contact Information Include at least one form of contact (LinkedIn, email) ahira@sfu.ca Red box

Add their bio

Simply edit the About text box on the right side of the page to add a brief bio about the team member. This should be a short paragraph that describes their work, research, and contributions related to the field.

Add their contact information

Simply edit the red box on the left side of the page to add at least one contact detail for the team member. This can be a LinkedIn profile, email address, etc.

To be consistent, add the contact information in the following bulleted format:

Remember to add hyperlinks where appropriate (e.g., LinkedIn profile, email address) so that users can easily click to connect with the team member.

Adding contact information to the page

Change order of team members

The order of the team member pages in AEM will reflect the order they appear on the CERG Team page.

To change that order, drag and drop the team member page to the desired position in the list of other team member pages.
