Create Profile

Staff listing pages are composed of collections of individual Profiles . Updating a Profile makes corresponding change to every staff listing in that group displaying it.

To create a Profile, select "Nodes" and you'll see a list of all available nodes in your group. Choose "Add New Content" then choose "Profile" in the list of content types.

  • OHIO ID: Input the staff member's OHIO ID. This is the first portion of their OHIO email address. For instance, if their email is  lastname@ohio.edu , then their OHIO ID would be lastname.
