Recommended Image Size
Employee profile headshot images should have a minimum resolution of 600px by 600px for optimal viewing quality on retina screens.
Image Source Options
Synthesis can be configured to source images for employee directories and profiles from Synthesis, OpenAsset, or Azure Active Directory.
Synthesis Native
By default, only global administrators have the ability to update headshots using the native image uploader on each profile. To enable employees to update their own headshots, please reach out to your Client Success Manager or email support@knowledge-architecture.com.
For more on updating profile headshots, see Adding or Updating a Profile Headshot (Synthesis Native Images).
OpenAsset
OpenAsset is a cloud-based Digital Asset Management (DAM) platform used by many of our clients to manage project and employee images. Using this source, headshot images link automatically from OpenAsset to Synthesis employee directories and profiles.
Azure Active Directory
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft's enterprise cloud-based identity and access management solution, and is a pre-requisite for running the Synthesis platform. Profile photos uploaded by the firm's AD administrator can also serve as employee profile headshots.
