WHAT WE HAVE
• Each faculty member has a department page.• Each page uses a standard layout, but is flexible
for departments• Each department has a correct and up to date list
of all faculty.• All pages are in one central location.• Updates handled by departments/faculty so
burden is spread instead of being on one person

HOW WE DID IT
![Page 10: Creating a Dynamic Online Directory](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815f50550346895dce2f29/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Built the Individual Faculty Pages• Built separate Asset
Factories for each department
• Data Definition, Configuration Set and Content type are all specific to each department.
• Faculty can link to their “Research” or “Lab” pages from here.

HOW WE DID IT
• One Index page for each department• Pulls the needed info from each faculty member’s
page/folder and organizes it.• Used Velocity for the formatting• Some also have page organized by research area• Built to fit each department• ZERO UPDATING!
