Edit a Bio Page

  1. From the Site Admin console's left-hand Navigation pane, double-click to open your new Bio page.
  2. At the top of page, there is a component (almost hidden) that resides above the dotted line around the "Drag components or assets here" area.  You will need to put your mouse over the section to see the blue component outline, then double-click to open the component.
  3. The component dialog window opens. In the General tab, enter in the following information:
    1. For Full Name, enter in the full name of the Key Person. This field is required.
    2. For Title, enter in the Key Person's University title. This field is required.
    3. For Phone Number, enter in the Key Person's University phone number. This field is not required. If the individual does not wish to have their phone number published, add in the Unit's main phone number.
    4. For Email Address, enter in the Key Person's email address. This field is not required. If the individual does not wish to have their personal email address published, add in the Unit's departmental alias address. If your unit does not have a departmental alias, you may request one by writing to: aliases@nyu.edu
  4. In the Image tab, if you have an appropriate head shot for the Key Person, drag and edit it in the Image tab. This is not required. If you do not add in an image, no image will be displayed.
  5. When finished, press the OK button to save the information.
  6. You may then add any additional components to fill the 3-column space. For example, add a Text component for the individual's biography information. Add in a Photo Gallery to highlight various related event images.
  7. Click the magnifying glass icon in the Sidekick to open the page in Preview mode to ensure that all additions are as expected from the end-user's perspective.
  8. If you are ready to publish the page, from the Sidekick, select the Page Properties tab. Click the Activate Page button to activate the page.
  9. To ensure that the Biography page does not appear in your main navigation bar, you will want to hide the page from navigation.  Please see our instructions for: Hiding a Page in the Navigation Bar.
