Brightspot Content Types Guide

Person Promo module


Editors use Brightspot's Person content type to provide basic information about significant people. Examples of persons include company employees, journalists, academics, and government officials.

The Person content type has its own promo, extracted from the person itself. For example, if you create a person asset for your company's product manager, you can create a promo for that person. You can encourage visitors to read and contact the person with media or sales inquiries.

Note
This topic describes how to create a shared person promo that you can use in multiple assets. (If you want to create a one-off person promo, see Creating a one-off module.)


To create a person promo:

  1. In the header, click add.
  2. From the Create list, select Person Promo.
  3. Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
  4. Complete your site's workflow and publish the person promo.
