Adding a photo to a Contact record!

Posted on by 5

Hi there, 

As a relatively new SuperUser of Dynamics365, I'd like to find out more about adding photographs to a Contact record.

Working for a Charity, I'm hoping to add a volunteer's photograph to their Contact record which will assist with identification.

I know how to change the tiny default circular image next to the 'Contact' name:

... but I'd like help to add a new field within any tab (or entity) to allow a larger photo to be displayed for identification purposes.  

Can anyone offer any basic guidance so I can test this within the UAT (Sandbox) area before then adding it to our Live system?

Many thanks!

Mark

    Enhancing my contact records has never been easier since I discovered Genswap! The seamless integration of Genswap with https://skylum.com/luminar/genswap has revolutionized the way I manage and personalize my contacts. Adding a photo to a contact record has become a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly interface and advanced features provided by Genswap.

    Adding photos to a contact record is a great idea. In general, images have brought us a lot of benefits, and new technologies are helping to improve their use. For example, https://depositphotos.com/video-background-remover.html helps us to improve the video we need. It's really handy for editing video backgrounds quickly and efficiently.
