Faculty Profile List
The Faculty Profile List component displays information about a department's faculty members.
Uses
Many Concordia departments use the Faculty Profile List component to list their faculty members.
- Some departments use one Faculty Profile List to list their faculty members.
- Others use one Faculty Profile List for each category of faculty, e.g. one for full-time faculty and another for part-time faculty.
Each Faculty Profile List pulls in information from an external database. You can choose how much of this information to display.
Full display shows the name, title, email and research interests for each faculty member in the list. If you click the checkbox beside Show thumbnail, it will display a small photo of each profile.
Alternatively, you can display Name only:
Best practices
New faculty profiles
If you have new faculty who require a faculty profile:
- Follow the faculty profile process to get the profile activated and published
- Share this link with faculty if they need help updating a profile
Adding a Faculty Profile List to your page
- In the AEM Sidekick, go to Concordia Special, then add the Faculty Profile List component. If you'd like to categorize faculty members by role (Full-time vs. part-time, etc), add a Faculty Profile List component for each category of faculty.
- Open the component for editing. Note: Each Faculty Profile List connects to a large external database, and the component may take a moment to "wake up" and allow editing.
- In the Settings tab:
- Add a Title for the list, e.g. Full-time faculty
- Choose whether to Display as Full display or Name only. If you're unsure which to choose, ask your Communications Advisor.
- If you've chosen Full display and you'd to display a small photo beside each faculty member, check the box beside Show thumbnail
- In the Manual list tab:
- Beside Department, click Add Item. Click the dropdown arrow and select your department. AEM will display only the profiles associated with your department.
- Beside Profiles, click Add Item. Click the dropdown arrow and select a profile to add to the list. Continue adding profiles until the list is complete. If needed, use the green arrows to place the profiles in alphabetical order.
- Click OK.
- Activate the page.

Accessibility
For each Faculty Profile List to be accessible, it needs to be clear to visitors what the list includes, e.g. Full-time faculty or Part-time faculty.
- Most of the time, you should provide a clear Title in the Faculty Profile List Settings tab. The title you provide will display at the top of the list.
- If, however, there's a Title component directly above the list, you can leave the Title field in the Faculty Profile List component blank.
