Add a Profile Picture

Corporate Identity | How can the Administrator set an image that is visible next to the user's name

You can personalize Carerix by adding a profile photo to the menu section at the top right. If no profile photo is uploaded, the first letter of your first name appears in a colored circle instead.

Add or change your profile picture

Follow these steps to add or change your profile picture:

  1. Go to AdministrationUsers

  2. Select the relevant user

  3. Click on the Attachments tab

  4. Upload an image

  5. Choose type Photo

  6. Leave the Description field empty

💡 Tip! Use a square image (e.g., 400x400 pixels) for the best result. JPEG and PNG formats work best.

After uploading

After the next system restart, the uploaded image will appear in your profile menu.

If the photo does not appear, try the following:

  1. Clear your browser cookies and cache

  2. Refresh the page

  3. Log out and log back in

Troubleshooting

Photo is not showing in the menu

If your photo still does not appear after uploading and refreshing, check the following:

  1. Verify that you selected Photo as the attachment type

  2. Go to AdministrationDocument Types

  3. Find the Photo document type

  4. Confirm that PhotoTag is selected under Document Class

Important: The PhotoTag setting is necessary for your profile picture to display correctly. Without it, the image will not appear in the menu, even after uploading.

How to enable PhotoTag

If PhotoTag is not selected:

  1. Click Edit on the Photo document type

  2. Check the PhotoTag checkbox under Document Class

  3. Click Save

  4. Ask your users to refresh their browsers and clear their cache

Error when uploading the image

If you receive an error when uploading an image:

  • Check that the file is in a supported format (JPEG, PNG, GIF)

  • Ensure the file size is not too large (recommended: under 2 MB)

  • Try uploading a different image to rule out file corruption

Permission denied

If you see a "Permission denied" message when trying to upload an image, you may not have the necessary permissions. Contact your administrator to request access to edit user profiles.

If the problem is not resolved, or if you would prefer to contact our support team, please reach out to our helpdesk at helpdesk@carerix.com
