People can be organized in two ways, with groups and tags. These can be managed in the dashboard by selecting 'People' and then choosing either the 'Groups' or 'Tags' options.
Groups
Groups act much like post categories, and can be nested hierarchically. For example, a group might be "Faculty" with nested subgroups of "Adjunct" and "Associate". Groups are useful when creating a page of people, as one feature there is to show people separated by their group assignments.
Tags
Tags are just like the tags used by blog posts. They can also be used to organize people, but do not have the option of being hierarchically nested. For example, a single person might be tagged with "Molecular Modeling", "Nanotechnology", and "Polymers". Later, it would then be possible to display all people in the site with the tag "Polymers".

To begin, start by creating a new page. On the right, in a box labeled 'Page Attributes', set the 'Template' option to "People". You will notice that below the normal visual editor area for content, there will be a number of new form controls in a box labeled 'People Page'.
Layout
This controls the layout of how the people will be displayed. The Grid option makes a grid of people, with multiple people for each row. This is a great option if you have a lot of images, and want to focus on those.
The Table option has only one person per row, but has a lot more room for details like phone number or email address. This is a great option if you have no images, or want to focus the page more on being a resource to contact people.
Specific People
By default, a people page displays all people in the site. You can see them listed in the left column of this section. However, if you only want to display the information of a few people, you can click on those people in the left column, and they will appear in the right column. Then, the page will only display the people in the right column.

To return a page to displaying all people, delete all the people in the right column.
Specific Groups & Tags
Choose one or more groups, and only people that belong to the selected group OR any other selected group will appear. This allows you to create one people page for faculty, and another for staff, for example.
