The people list content types provide a useful way of publishing contact details for the members of your group. There are two separate designs available - the people list and the people grid.

Each of these content types can also be automatically generated through data stored in the College's HR directory or through Symplectic. Please contact your Faculty Web Officer for more information about setting up automated people lists.

Important: using the correct image size

You must use a square (1:1) image with the same width and height,  for example 400 pixels (wide) by 400 pixels (high). The previous portrait image sizes of 3:4 e.g. 300x400px will continue to work, but please note that the image will be cropped to a square dimensions. If you use any image dimension other than square or 3:4, then the image will not display and you will see a grey placeholder image instead.

 People list

The people list content type organises each entry into a list that runs vertically down your page.

You can add range of details to each item, including:

  • Name
  • Job title
  • Image
  • Email
  • Telephone
  • Location/address
  • Affiliations (other related groups, departments, etc.)
  • A link to an Imperial Profile page or website

Each list can include an unlimited number of entries, and you can add multiple lists to each page.

The layout of the contact details will change according to how much content you insert in each one.

People grid

The people grid content type organises each item into a grid with a maximum of six items in each row.

You can add the following information to each item:

  • Name
  • Job title
  • Image
  • A link to PWP or website

Each grid can include an unlimited number of entries, and you can add multiple grids to each page.

Landing page people grid

The Landing page people grid offers a different way of presenting information about key individuals on a landing page. It does not replace the existing people grid and people list content types, but rather adds an additional version of them.

Each item features a square profile image, name, role description, and optional links to a bio and email address.

Automated lists

Each of these content types can be automatically generated through data stored in the College's HR directory or through Symplectic.

Automated lists can be updated automatically so that editors won't need to manually add/remove members themselves.

To find out more about setting up automated people and research publication lists, you should speak to your Faculty Web Officer.
