If you would like your Faculty Pages to have Tabs instead of the default Paragraphs, you will need to use your own Tabs Blocks. Each Faculty Page needs its own Tabs Block.

To make updates faster and easier, and to keep your formatting consistent, make a blank Faculty Tabs template, and then follow these instructions.

If you do not have a Faculty Tabs Template, please follow Lesson 2 to create one.

Step 1: Go to your Faculty-Tabs Template.

Step 2: Hover over your Faculty-Tabs block and click the triangle that appears.

Step 3: From the drop-down menu, choose “Copy.”

Step 4: Change the “System Name” of the copy to match the Faculty Profile name. I am changing mine to “smithjohn-tabs.”

Change to “Parent Folder” to the same folder you keep your Faculty Profiles in.

Step 5: Click Submit.

Step 6: Go to your Faculty Folder and click on your new Faculty Tab.

Step 7: Click “Edit.”

Step 8: Fill in the Content sections of the tabs.

Step 9: Submit when you are done.

Remember: you can use the “-” (minus) icon to remove tabs you do not want.

Step 10: Click on the Faculty Profile. Click “Edit.”

Step 11: Scroll down to the “Profile Long Desc Section.” On an empty box, click the word “Search” next to the word “Block.”

Step 12: Select the faculty tab block for that Faculty Profile.

Do not select the default template block (it will be blank!)

Step 13: Click “Submit.”

Step 14: Your tabs are now visible on the Faculty Profile Page.
