Teams or people are at the core of every project and goal. The people content type is great for putting a face to the name on team and project pages or to understand how teams are structured in your organization.

Configuring the people views

While in the start screen of the Content Viz macro choose People. You will be forwarded to the macro configuration specifically designed for people. The sidebar on the left enables you to apply filters or manually select pages. Based on your configuration you will be receiving a live preview on the right.

Views

The pages content type supports three views:

Card

This view type is specifically designed to gain your audiences' attention and is popular on space dashboards or general overview pages. All pages will be displayed in a card layout and be sorted chronologically.

Open

Each card contains metadata about the blog post:

• Profile picture

• User name

List

The list view promotes the visibility of added users without taking too much space.

Reporting lines

This view type enables you to visualize how people are structured in your organization.

You can add and remove people from your organizational chart by entering their names in the left sidebar. After adding users will appear in the chart. By dragging and dropping them with your mouse you can rearrange them between different levels.

Depending on the view type you select the left sidebar offers you more or less options.

Layout

There are several column layouts available. After choosing a layout, you can easily switch between the options.

Dynamic and manual selection

Depending on your use case you can choose to display content dynamically or manually. In the people content type the Manual option is selected. The Manual option allows you to cherry-pick from a list of already existing blog posts.

The Dynamic option enables you to display all members of user groups.

Pagination

To further limit the displayed results when using the Dynamic option you can specify how many pages should be displayed in the macro.

Additionally, you can choose to paginate the results in three ways:

• Show more button: A button that enables users to load more content is displayed below user cards.

• Slider: bullets with arrows for smooth scrolling through user cards.

• Inactive: Users cannot load more user cards.

Options for manual configuration

When selecting the manual option the filters in the left sidebar are substituted with a user picker. By clicking on the input field you can search for existing Confluence user.

Selected users will appear below the input field in the left sidebar. Additionally, they are displayed on in the preview area based on your selected view. You can add infinite users manually and remove them from your preview by hovering on them in the left sidebar. You can also re-order them at any time.

Options for dynamic configuration

Group(s)

Specify the group name. Specify multiple groups separated by a comma, or use * to show all users in Confluence.

Powered by MacroSuite

We’ve prepared something special for users who own both Content Viz and MacroSuite. This means more customization for people; select card background, change padding and border radius, and change profile picture size. All options are available for both Dynamic and Manual mode.

1. Card background: choose which type of background people will have (None, Color, Image).

2. Padding: increase or decrease the padding (white space between pages).

3. Border radius: make corners more or less rounded to fit your liking.

4. Profile picture size: increase or decrease the profile picture size.

Depending on the View type, we kept it simple by offering less customization options. For example, in List View, you can’t change profile picture size or their backgrounds.

Remember that you can edit all these options and reorganize people in Manual mode.
