Choosing or clearing a user's image

A user's image can be displayed in My Connect as confirmation of their identity, for example for exam purposes.

To choose a user's image

From the left-hand pane, expand Users and choose All Users.
From the right-hand pane, right-click the user and from the menu, choose Properties.
On the General tab, click the Choose Image button.
To place a user image in the 'Image source' box, do one of the following:

Click the Browse button, locate the required image and click Open.
Drag-and-drop an image into the 'Image source' box, for example, from the desktop or a network folder.

You can customise the selected user image as follows and check the final image in the Preview box:
To crop the image, drag the selection square to the area of the image you require, or click on a point in the image to move the selection square.
To resize the image, use the Zoom slidebar.

Click OK on the Image Chooser window.

To clear a user's image

On the General tab, click the Clear Image button.
Click Yes to confirm. The user image is replaced with the appropriate type of user icon.
Click OK.

Notes

The Choose Image button is disabled when you are not connected to the network.
User images will be stored in the user database. For information on valid image formats, and how to load and store user images onto your network, refer to your Reference Manual.
User properties are also available by selecting the user and choosing in the toolbar, or by double-clicking the user in the right-hand pane.
