Faculty/Staff Pages
How to Edit Department Faculty/Staff Listing Pages
Below are answers to frequently asked questions editing faculty/staff listing pages on the Geneseo website.
How do I edit my faculty/staff listing page?
Faculty/staff pages are dynamically rendered. That means the pages cannot be edited directly. The employee photos and contact information you see on these pages are pulled from employee “personal” pages.
To edit information about an employee or remove them from your faculty/staff page, you must edit the personal page itself.
How do I locate an employee's personal page to edit it?
Go to the faculty/staff page and click the person’s photo. It will bring you to their personal page. Click “edit” at the top of the screen (you have to be logged in and have edit access to the department site to do this).
How do I remove an employee from my faculty/staff page?
Go to the faculty/staff page and click the person’s photo. It will bring you to their personal page. Click “edit” at the top of the screen. At the very bottom of the page, uncheck the box next to “publish” and save. That will unpublish the page, automatically removing the employee from any faculty/staff pages on which they appear.
How do I add a new employee to my faculty/staff page?
You will need to create a personal page for that employee in order to add them to your faculty/staff page.
To create a new personal page, follow these steps:
- Log into Drupal.
- Click “workbench” from the top bar and select “my sites.”
- Click “add content.”
- Choose “personal page” from the dropdown menu to the right of the site you want to add the employee to.
- Fill out all required fields. If you don’t have a photo, the system will use the Geneseo shield.
- Make sure to add your office or department in the “department/academic program” field. Filling out that field is what makes the employee appear on your department’s faculty/staff page.
Please note: If the employee already works at Geneseo and has a personal page that was created for another department, contact CIT for help moving the employee to your department’s page.

Special note for legacy "employee listing page" format
A few departments still use the legacy “employee listing page” format for their faculty/staff page. This option is not preferred, but is available for use in circumstances where the standard faculty/staff page format does not meet the needs of the department.
To edit faculty/staff pages that use this format, simply
- Click “edit” at the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the Main Content section of the page and click the Edit button next to the Employee Listing section.
- Drag and drop to reorder employees, click the “remove” button in the upper right of an employee to delete them from the page, and edit the content using the fields provided.
- When you are done, click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
If you have additional questions or need assistance, please contact CIT by calling 585-245-5588, emailing helpdesk@geneseo.edu, or submitting a request for help online.
