The People widget is manually populated from pages created with the UMD Terp Person layout made available in the Templates (the UMD Terp Person layout provides space to share or promote important information for individuals in your organization).
- Great for department/unit directories: The People widget lists People pages as cards linked to that person’s page, and can be used to create a site's Faculty/Staff directory.
- Card layouts: Cards are arranged in a 3 column grid on larger screens, and each card shows an image, name, title, and link.
- Ordering: The People widget employs a manual ordering system and multiple sections can be used to differentiate between teams or a hierarchy within your organization.
