Faculty Database: Adding a Faculty Directory Tool to a Page

After adding faculty to your Faculty Database and creating a page, you can add faculty to that page easily with the Faculty Directory tool. This tool adds and update your information automatically as you update the Faculty Database and beautifully formats your directory. Please note that all of the information in this tool is fed from the Faculty Database tool, so you will need to enter all of your faculty's details there.
