How You Cache Person Photos

You can cache person photos to improve performance, using the profile option PER_IMAGE_ENABLE_CACHING. You create the profile option using the Manage Profile Options task.

After you create the profile option, set the value using the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Creating the Profile Option and Setting the Value

You can improve the performance of pages that display many photos (for example, organization chart) by caching the person photo.

You create the profile option by providing PER_IMAGE_ENABLE_CACHING as the profile option code, Per Image Enable Caching as the display name, and Global Human Resources as the application and module. As this is a site-level profile, select the Enabled and Updatable check boxes at the Site level. After creating the profile option, set the profile value to Y using the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.

You can choose not to cache the photos especially if people at your site use kiosks to access the application.
