People
The People module is used to create and manage persons that can be linked to content across the platform, such as podcasts, videos, or other media elements. People entries typically represent contributors like actors, authors, musicians, or producers.
Overview
With the People module you can:
Create and manage persons
Assign one or more roles to each person
Add profile images and aliases
Filter people by role or assignment
Reuse people consistently across different content types
This ensures clean metadata, consistent naming, and structured contributor management.

Roles
Each person can be assigned one or more roles that describe their function.
Available roles include (example list):
Actor
Anchor Person
Artist
Author
Composer

Musician
Photographer

Reporter
Roles can be:
Added via a dropdown selection
Removed individually
Used for filtering and organization
A person may have multiple roles if applicable.
Editing a Person
Click on a person in the list to open the Properties panel.
From here you can:
Change name or alias
Upload or replace the profile image
Add or remove roles
All changes are saved immediately and reflected across all linked content.
Linking People to Media Assets
People entries can be directly linked to media assets (such as videos or audio files) via the asset’s Metadata (Extended) section.
Within a media asset:
Open the asset Properties
Navigate to Metadata (Extended)
Use the People field to select one or more persons
Each linked person keeps their assigned role (e.g. Actor, Author)
This creates a persistent relationship between the person and the media asset. The same person can be reused across multiple assets without duplication.
Typical use cases include:
Assigning actors to video content
Linking authors or speakers to recordings
Structuring credits and contributor metadata
Changes to a person’s name, image, or role are automatically reflected wherever the person is linked.
Best Practices
Use real names where possible and aliases only when needed
Assign at least one role for better filtering
Reuse existing people instead of creating duplicates
Keep profile images consistent for a clean UI
