Adding a bio
Review our guide and videos below for how to add administrator bios, coaches bios, and player bios for rosters not managed through the GameDay tab.
Adding an Administrator’s Bio
Sign in
Click on the Website tab
The administrator bios are normally located in the information section, but that section may have been renamed to something else on your website by yourself or a previous website admin. You can find out the section where those bios are located by going to the staff directory page on the front end of the website and look for the first word after the domain name which will indicate which section the page is located in. The normal set up for the staff directory pages will show /information/directory/index in the URL path for that page. If it has a different name then you will need to go to that section to create the bios.
If the page is using the normal setup you will go to the information section and then directory. If it’s under a different name go to that section, for example if the URL path of the staff directory page is /staff/index then go to the staff section.

From the content type drop down menu, select bio: manual
Enter the coach’s first and last name in both the Name and Title fields
