Setting Avatars

Special Considerations

When setting avatars, be aware of the following:

• Gravatar is an external service. Gravatar requires that you sign up for or use a Wordpress account.
• Individual users will require their own avatars. There is no universal avatar system in place.
• Uploaded avatars are used throughout Lead Gen & CRM. Uploaded Gravatar images are displayed as the    User Menu icon in the Lead Gen & CRM application and as the user avatar on all related Lead Gen & CRM services.

Important: Lead Gen & CRM
has no control over how Gravatar uploads avatars. Gravatar may change how avatars are uploaded at any time and without warning. These procedures are constantly changing. The following information may be outdated.

Accessing Gravatar Settings

You can access Gravatar through Lead Gen & CRM.

To access Gravatar, do the following:

1. Click Settings in the left toolbar.
2. Click Change your avatar at Gravatar.com in the My Account menu.

4. Sign in with an existing Wordpress account or create an account.
   
   

Adding New Avatars

Once selected, your avatar will update and display the selected image uploaded to Gravatar. Be aware that if you do not upload an image to use as an avatar, your user avatar will default to a    blank icon.
