Recommended Review: Site Directories
We suggest periodically looking at all of the pages on your website to ensure they're up to date, but here's a reminder to review the directory pages on your website to make sure you’re presenting the most current information about the faculty and staff in your unit.
There are three different types of directory pages. One template pulls information directly from personnel databases so it is updated automatically, and the other two must be manually updated with changes.
The Three Types of Directory Pages:
1. Auto-Populated Person Template Pages
Person template pages are populated by information in Workday and MyDornsife, and are automatically revised as the information in those databases is updated.
- The Dornsife web team sets up these database-driven directories on your website
- We recommend that you periodically review them as some issues can arise, for instance, if a person has a primary appointment in another Dornsife department or in another USC college or unit
2. Manual Person Listing Page
Manually built Person pages look the same as the auto-populated Person template pages, but must be created and updated by hand. These are often used when a unit would like to display a person listing collection that cannot be pulled from a database, such as center/institute faculty, alumni, etc. The listing page can link to manually created profiles or to faculty or staff members' database-populated directory pages.
3. Manual Directories Built with Design Components
