Back to Creating and Sorting Contacts Video
all right welcome in this video we're
going to review how to create contact
cards now you might have noticed that
when we gave you your new site up in the
main navigation bar there's a link for
contacts when you click on that it's
going to take you to an automated view
that shows you all the contact cards
have been created on your site again
this is a view this is not a page so
you're not going to be able to edit this
the same way you'd add a page but as
you'll see as I scroll down I've got a
bunch of different contact cards on here
if I click on one it opens up the full
bio for that person and so what we're
gonna do is just walk through how to you
know quickly create one of these contact
cards and then we'll talk also about how
to rearrange the contact view so first
I'm going to go to content add content
contact
and I'll just kind of fill in the fields
that I want to fill in the only ones
that are required are going to be these
first two if you want to add a photo you
can do that here
I'll select one for my computer note
that there are some restrictions for
what type of photo you can use file size
file type things that
make sure your alternative text is
descriptive and you can fill everything
as needed do you note that if you click
on this map location down here that you
can actually put in an address and it's
going to go ahead and generate a map for
you so I'm just typing something here
all right this section is where you
would generally put the the full bio of
the person
or the description of what they do or
whatever you really need to put their
agency logo if you've got one agency
title if you want to put that there
okay and if we screw up to the very top
here you'll also notice there's a
display tab all this does is allow us to
either hide the main navigation bar or
hide the breadcrumbs when someone's
viewing the full-sized contact card most
of the time you can just leave these
alone but those are there if you'd like
them otherwise you're all good to go if
you want to you just kind of save it
either as a draft or as a published
contact card I'm a published mine and
here's what it looks like the final
version so we've got the photo the bio
the department name name and title
Department again and a map here and
we'll know also if you go to contacts
well know that it's actually been added
right here in alphabetical order is how
the system sort of defaults to
displaying these things but really it's
just as easy as clicking on the contact
card and viewing the contact information
now we can reorganize the way this view
displays these cards instead of having
it be you know alphabetical order I can
change it so if I have the right
permissions I can hover over content and
go to contact order and then from here I
just drag and drop the contact cards and
whatever order I deem necessary and then
I'll scroll down click Save order and
then what we will see is that if we
navigate back to the contacts view that
the card will be reordered in into the
position that I placed it
