Considerations
- Before setting the filter, be sure to understand how to add Faculty/Staff members to your site and be sure to understand how to use the Faculty/Staff Listing page element.
- The Faculty/Staff Search and Filter function can only be used when your page element is set to All Faculty/Staff. It will not display in any other display setting.
- When applied, the Faculty/Staff Search and Filter function defaults your page element to be three columns to accommodate the functionality.
- If you are using multiple Faculty/Staff Listing page elements on a single page, the Search and Filter function will only be usable in the one page element it is applied to. It cannot filter or search other page elements.
