Profiles tool

The profiles tool is a Main Body tool that can be used to display profiles for people not in your Users Database or for other creative uses such as featuring a book for "Battle of the Books". This tool can be used any place you would like to display pictures with a description and possibly an email link in a profile format.

See the Faculty List from the Faculty Database tool article to set up a directory that pulls user information from the Users Database.
