Photographs of faculty should be studio portraits taken by the Syracuse University photo department.  Please contact Maxwell's Communications Office for more information.  


  1. From Maxwell's Sitefinity Dashboard go to Content > People

    Finding the People seciton



  2. Find the person you want to edit.  You can sort by the column "Full Name", or you can use the "Search..." box at the top of the page. 
    Click on the person's name to open and edit the listing.

    Search or sort



  3. Click on the "Photo" link in the section navigation on the left side of the page.  This will scroll the page to that specific section.   Mousing over the image will display an "X" button over the image to remove the existing image and an "i" button to show details of the existing image.  This includes its name, the library where it is stored and its dimensions.   

    To replace an image with a new version click the "Pencil" icon below the image:

  4. The new image needs to be properly resized to 560 px wide by 560 px tall.    (If you are not familiar with how to size images to a specific dimension, contact ictwebmaster@syr.edu for assistance.)

    Upload the new image by clicking the "Upload"  icon to the right of the image search.  Navigate to the new image and select it.  

    Uploading a new image into the library



  5. The image library location ("Store uploaded images to") and  the"Alternative text" fields need  to be updated.  The Sitefinity library location can be changed by clicking the "Pencil" icon and searching for "people headshots".  The title can be made easier to read by removing any hyphens.  The title should clearly indicate the person's name and image size.   The "Alternative text" should be their first and last names.
