    • title - title to display for the person in the listing, overriding any title they may have set. (Optional - if omitted, uses the title that the person has specified on the Directory Information page).

    • link - URL for a link on the persons name in the listing. (Optional - if omitted, links to a dynamic profile page).

  • Some additional options for Advanced listings can be found at How do I customize an Advanced Directory Listing in sites.umbc.edu?

Faculty Success Data

For both Basic and Advanced directory listings, information from Faculty Success is automatically used to enrich profile pages. However, each person needs to enable "Faculty Success" profile formats and select the information in Faculty Success they want included.

To do so, they need to visit the Directory Information page and, in the "Profile Format" section, they should select "Faculty Success". They can also specify a CV and Photo to show on their Profiles.
