Hi,

I’m hoping someone can provide specific instructions on how to add in new staff members once we add them as users to our site.

The site specific instructions at sustainability.yale.edu are helpful but not specific enough (e.g. instructions say to add the person manually to the webpage, but not sure how–should users be added as an internal link—they don’t auto populate–or as a URL?).

If you could provide us with some instructions that we can add to our website guide, it would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hi Amber, 

You can add the people using the Add CAS User function: 

  1. People > Add CAS User in the administration toolbar. 
  2. Enter the NetID for the person you want to add and click Create new account.
  3. Add their information in the appropriate fields including the picture. 
  4. Save the page. 
  5. Copy the URL for the person you just added from the browser.
  6. Return to the Staff page and click on the Edit tab.
  7. Type in the person’s name. 
  8. Click on the Link icon in the WYSIWYG toolbar. 
  9. Select URL as the Link type and then paste the URL you copied from the Browser into the field.

Wonderful–thanks so much Nancy! Could you also review instructions for how to add someone to the left hand side bar as well?
