KB User's Guide - Home Tab - Upload Profile Photo

Help your colleagues match a name to a face by uploading a profile photo. This document will show you how to upload a photo that you have in your files or that is accessible by a url.

Upload a Profile Photo

To upload a Profile photo, please follow this navigation: open the KB Admin Tools > Home tab > MyProfile link. This will lead to the My Profile screen and a table called Profile Options. The image below shows the Add / change / delete profile photo link circled in red within the Profile Options table.

The "add/change/delete profile photo" link follows the "User ID" field on the My Profile page.

If you wish to upload a photo in your own files (e.g. your own hard drive, network files, etc.) please follow the directions below:

    1. Click on the Add / change / delete profile photo link. The User Profile Photo Uploader pop up box will appear.

Who Can See My Photo?

The NetID link that leads to your photo and contact information will be visible only to the internal KB group(s) to which you pertain and the internal KB group(s) that share your document(s).

  • KB Internal Site - When viewing a specific document, you will see a clickable NetID link in the Owner field of the Document Summary table found at the bottom of your document. A red arrow is pointing to the linked NetID in the Owner field.

The "Owner" field is in the first column and second row of the doc info table.

Clicking on the linked NetID leads to a User Profile pop up window. In the image below, Bucky Badger's User Profile shows his: Default Group, UserID, First, Middle, Last name, Email, Phone and Subject Area in addition to his User Profile image.

  • KB External Site -When viewing a specific document, you will NOT see a clickable link in the Owner field of the Document Summary table found at the bottom of your document. Again, we are referencing the Document Summary table of KB User's Guide - Documents Tab - Image Guidelines, however, this time, it is on the external KB site.

The "Owner" field is in the first column and second row of the doc info table, but on the live site, displays the owner's first name and last initial.

  • KB Admin Tools - A clickable link will be found in the Owner column in far right of the following screens: Active, In Review, In Progress, Inactive, Trash, Expired, Expiring, Aging, Share Request, Restricted, Batch Update, Batch Transfer, Find & Replace, My News, My Group News, Shared-out New, Share-in News and All News. The example below references document KB User's Guide - Home Tab - Dashboard in the Batch Update screen.

    In the image below, Owner's NetID is circled in red. If that link is clicked, it will lead to the User Profile pop up window referenced above.

The "Owner" field is typically in the last column of the KB Admin Tools documents table.
