Profile Photos

Entrada allows there to be two profile photos stored for each user: an official photo and a user uploaded photo. The official photo must be uploaded by an administrative user. If a user's account has both an official photo and a user uploaded photo, the official photo will be used first.

User photos appear through out Entrada. Some examples include in People Search and when triggering or completing Assessment and Evaluation forms.

Photos can be imported through the user interface in a user's profile but there is also a photo import tool that a developer can use to bulk import multiple official photos.

Please note that if a user does not want their photo displayed in Entrada they can change their privacy settings in the user profile. If users select Minimum Profile their photos will be hidden from other users.

Photo Import Tool

To bulk import user photos you will need to prepare a zip folder of the required photos. Each photo should be named using studentnumber.jpg. Photo dimensions should be 250px width and 250px height, however the system will typically resize them.

Please note there is a maximum of 50 photos per upload.

Navigate to Admin/Manage users, select Import Photos.

Profile Photo Upload by User

If users want to upload their own profile photos they can do so through their profile. On the main Personal Information page, users can hover over the empty photo spot and click Upload Photo to add a photo.

Viewing the non-existent uploaded photo

Note that they can toggle between the official and uploaded photos to view the two photos they might have on file.

Viewing the official photo

A user can't delete their photo. They can upload a new photo to overwrite their existing uploaded photo.
