Example
Riverside Community Garden, a fictional charity, adds its coordinator, Ana, to Team with the role "Volunteer coordinator", a photo, two sentences about her and Order 1. Its three trustees go in Board. The About page shows a Team section and a Board section.
If something isn't working
- Someone isn't in the Team or Board section. Check their Group: the Team section only shows people in Team, and the Board section only people in Board.
- People are in the wrong order. Give each person a number in Order, lowest first.
- Your rows don't show on your website. Check the section is on a page (Put on a page) and that you've pressed Publish since adding it.
- Your table isn't offered under Your table. That section needs a table made from this one, with its columns. Pick Custom in Add a section to show any table instead.
- There's no New data button, or it says "You don't have access to make lists here." Your role can't make tables. Ask an admin of your business for access.
- "These changes are out of date. Review them and apply again." Press Review changes again, then Apply.
Limits
- The Team and Board sections don't show email addresses or phone numbers. Put contact details on your contact page instead.
