The Edlio Staff Directory provides an automated, centralized directory of all educators, administrators, and staff members across your school or district. It pulls directly from your user database, ensuring staff information remains consistent and up to date.
đĄ Best-Practice Adoption Tip: For small teams or departmental directories (such as Athletics, Counseling, Grade Levels, or Cafeteria staff), use Staff Blocks on dedicated pages concurrently with the main directory. Staff Blocks allow you to filter dynamically by Position or User Type, giving visitors an intuitive, focused roster without cluttering the main directory.
Key features of the Staff Directory
Automated user sync: Whenever a user account is created or updated in User Management, their profile details can automatically appear in the public directory.
Directory layouts: Choose between Default (Grid) and List views to match your website design.
Staff grouping: Group your roster by None (a single alphabetical list) or by User Type (organizing staff under School Administrators, Teachers, and Other Employees). Available for all customer sites and compatible with Staff Blocks.
Sorting options: Order staff members alphabetically by First Name or Last Name.
Customizable fields: Control whether titles, phone numbers, extensions, profile photos, room numbers, and biographies display on public cards.
Privacy controls: Securely show or hide direct email addresses or replace them with contact forms to protect staff from spam scrapers.
Main Staff Directory vs. Staff Blocks on pages
Understanding the difference between the main automated directory and page-level Staff Blocks helps you present staff rosters cleanly across your website:
Main Staff Directory (
/apps/staff/): Intended for your school's master directory. It lists all active staff members in one central location with instant keyword search, alphabetical filtering, and optional User Type grouping.Staff Blocks on Pages: Modular content blocks that can be added to any content page (such as Academics > Science or Athletics > Coaches). They work concurrently with the main directory, allowing you to hand-pick members or automatically filter staff by specific User Types or job positions.
