People List Component: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:35, 10 July 2026

People Lists, commonly referred to as faculty/staff lists or directories, are components that display a curated list of College community members associated with a department, organization, or group. These lists include useful contact information such as job title, email address, phone number, and office location.

While this component can only be created by ITS administrators, the individuals included in a People List can be managed by users who have attended the Introductory Drupal training session. Additional editing options are available for users who have completed the Advanced Drupal training session.

To request that a People List component be added to your site, email support@swarthmore.edu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't our new faculty/staff member show up as an option in the Add People list?

Drupal synchronizes user information nightly. If a new employee has only recently received a College account, they may not appear in the system until after the next synchronization.

If the account still does not appear after one business day, contact web-update@swarthmore.edu.

I've noticed that some individuals have additional information listed along with their contact information (website link, interests, office hours, etc.). How do I add this information?

If you would like to include additional information with a People List entry, see User Contact Information and Profiles.

If you're attempting to edit another person's profile, see Profiles. Editing another user's profile requires Advanced Drupal editing privileges.
