Summary: This guide explains how to use organization groups to categorize individuals (staff, speakers, elders) and effectively manage them to control which groups are showcased on dedicated staff pages and other areas of your Site using the People Blocks feature.
Before You Begin
- Organization groups are essential for categorizing individuals and controlling their display on your Site.
- The 'Speaker' group is a critical, system-connected group and cannot be deleted.
- You must have Admin permissions to access Sites > Settings > Organization Groups.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Managing Your Organization Groups
1. Click on Sites from your main navigation.
2. Select Settings from the left menu.
3. Select Organization Groups.
4. Click the Add Group button, Enter your new group name, and Click Save Group.
5. Edit an existing group by Clicking the edit pencil to the right of the group, changing its name, and Clicking Save Group.
How Organization Groups Work with People Blocks
1. Assign People to Groups by editing their profile in the People section.
To add someone to a group, see details in Editing a User Profile in Sites.
2. Add a People Block to the page where you want to display the team.
3. Select the specific organization group (e.g., 'Staff', 'Elders') within the People Block settings. [The block will display all individuals assigned to that selected group.]
Troubleshooting & FAQs
- Why can't I delete the 'Speaker' group? The 'Speaker' group is a critical organization group that is specifically connected to the sermons and live streams area of your website and is therefore protected from deletion.
- I added a new staff member, but they don't appear on the Staff Page: Ensure you have assigned the individual to the correct organization group (e.g., 'Staff') within their user profile (see related articles) and that the People Block is set to display that group.
