The user profile card displays important information about a user to
other users in the system. When a user clicks another user's name in one of the
end-user interfaces, the profile card appears and displays select user
attributes such as the user's title, contact information, and location.
Important: The user profile card is a modern browser feature
that requires HTML5. You must select the
Enable HTML5 Features option on the
General tab for the Base Project in order to display
the card when a user's name is clicked.
Each user profile card consists of five
sections:
- Main
Typically displays the user's avatar, full name, title, and e-mail
address. In addition:
- The first character of the user's name is displayed if the user
has not selected an avatar.
- Hovering your mouse over the avatar displays the user's last
activity.
- The color of the border around the avatar indicates if the user
has accessed the system recently. Green indicates recent activity; if the user
has not accessed the system recently, the color is orange.
- Organization
Typically displays attributes related to your organization, such as
the name of the user's manager.
- Contact
Typically displays attributes related to contact information,
including phone numbers and the user's preferred contact method.
Note: Contact attributes are displayed on the user profile card
according to the "view" privileges on the Contacts table. This means that users
without privilege to view a given field section cannot view fields that are
assigned to that privilege section, and the attributes that are associated with
those fields are not displayed on the user profile card.
- Location
Typically displays attributes related to the user's location, such
as the user's physical location and local time.
- Information
Typically displays informational attributes, such as the user's
department, skills, and teams.
