Adding a Category
To manage the categories and add new ones, go to Team WD > Category.
For a new category, you specify the Name, Slug ( the URL-friendly version of the name), Parent, Description and Parameters.
Categories can have a hierarchy. Select the Parent for sub-categories.
Each category can have its own set of parameters, e.g. Nationality, Occupation, Date of Birth, Department,etc. You will specify the value of each parameter for each of the staff members later, when creating/editing the staff members.
Adding a Contact
To manage the staff members and add new ones, go to Team WD > Team.
For a new staff member, you enter the Name, Categories, Email, Featured Image, Detailed description about the member, as well as the values of the parameters (the list of the parameters are defined for the category).
The site visitors can contact your staff members directly from their profile pages. If you enable the Send Email when Message Sent option, the staff members will get an email notification when someone fills the contact form on their profile.
Team Ordering
Here you can change the ordering of the team members/contacts using drag & drop. The changed order will be saved automatically. Warning! Hitting the “Order by id” or “Order by name” buttons will reset the ordering and undo the changes made manually.
Messages
Here you can view the list of the submitted messages. You can browse the messages based on the contact and time period, e.g. choose the team member to display messages of and set a specific time frame using date pickers.
