# People

Introduce your team and your board on your website, with roles, photos and short biographies you keep up to date in one place.

## Use it when

Use it to keep one list of your team and, if you have one, your board, and show them on your website.

## Use something else when

For suppliers, customers and other contacts, use [Contacts](/docs/features/data/presets/contacts-table). For sponsors and donors, use [Supporters](/docs/features/data/presets/supporters-table).

## How to add it

1. Open **My Business**, then **Advanced**, then **Data**.
2. Press **New data**.
3. Under **Suggested**, pick **People**.
4. Under **Options**, keep the name "People" or type your own.
5. Press **Review changes**, check what it adds, then press **Apply**.

You see **Added**, and the new table opens, empty.

## How to add a person

1. Open **People**, or the name you gave it.
2. Press **New item**. If you renamed the table, the button may say something else.
3. Under **Name**, type the person's name.
4. Fill in their **Role**. Add their **Bio** and **Photo**, set **Group** to **Team** or **Board**, and give them a number in **Order** (under **More**) to choose who comes first, if you want.
5. Press **Create item**.

You see **Item created**, and the person is in your list. To change someone later, click them in the table.

## How to show them on your website

1. Open **My Sites**, open your site, and choose **Data** in the editor's side panel.
2. Press **Add a section** and pick **Team**.
3. Under **Your table**, choose your People table, press **Review changes**, then **Apply**.
4. Under **Put on a page**, choose the **Page** and press **Put it here**.
5. Press **Publish** when you're ready. Nothing goes live until you publish.

Add a **Board** section the same way for the people in your board group.

## What it adds or changes

- **Opens as**: Table
- **Columns**: Name · Role · Group · Bio · Photo · Email · Phone · Instagram or social link · Order
- **Works with**: Data on your site

Creates an empty table · no rows or automations

It adds a table with these columns:

| Column | Type | Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Name | text |  |
| Role | text |  |
| Group | single choice | Team, Board |
| Bio | long text |  |
| Photo | images |  |
| Email | email |  |
| Phone | text |  |
| Instagram or social link | url |  |
| Order | integer |  |

## 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.
