Additional user information and photographs

In addition to the standard information, it is also possible to store other information about a user in the Learning Management System. Up to 20 additional information fields are available to store any information you may require, such as telephone numbers, addresses, and start dates.

Normally, the additional information fields are disabled. To enable them, set the application setting “Option.AdditionalUserInformation” to “true”, and provide labels for the fields in the “Vocabulary” settings page. Only fields that you provide a label for will appear.

To edit the information for a user, click Information on the contents menu to display the “Additional Information” page.

Add or edit the user information as required, and press Submit to save the details, or Return to return to the list of users.

You can also store a photograph for each user. If you store photographs for managers and course tutors, they will appear on the course information panel and the “Messages” page.

To upload a photograph of the user, click Upload, browse to the image on your computer, and click Submit. Click Delete to delete the current photograph for the user. For best results, the image you upload should be 100 pixels wide by 100 pixels high. Larger or smaller images will be resized to fit the display area and may become distorted.
