Adding an Employee Picture to a Profile


You can use the Employee Directory to store images of each employee. When an image is associated with an employee profile, other users see the image when they use the Employee Locator feature to find an employee. You can use the following image formats for an employee image:

To add an employee picture as a literature file

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Portal Administration > Literature.
  2. In the Literature list, add a new record, and then complete the name and description fields.
  3. TIP:  To help later identify the literature item as an employee picture, use a naming convention that makes use of an employee's user ID or another employee detail.

  4. In the new record, click the select button in the File Name field, and in Add Attachment dialog box, click the Browse button.
  5. In the Choose file window, select the image, and then click Open.
  6. In the Add Attachment dialog box, click Add.
  7. The file name appears in the File Name field, and the associated fields are automatically populated. A copy of the image is added to the Siebel File System.

  8. In the More Info form, select the Internal check box.

To associate the image with an employee

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Employee Administration > Employees.
  2. In the Employees list, select the employee, and in the More Info form, click the select button in the Image File Name field.
  3. In the Employee Image dialog box, query for the image you saved as a literature item, select the image, and then click OK.
  4. In the More Info form, select the Include Image check box.
  5. NOTE:  In the My Profile view, employees can choose to exclude or include the picture in their profile.
