Can I add pictures of our employee contacts for visitors?

When visitors check in and select who they're here to visit, they can always view and select the contact's name. But you can also attach photos to those contacts to help visitors know who to expect when the contact arrives.

To do so, sign in to your account, select a contact, and click the 'choose file' button in the top left corner of the contact profile page. Please be sure to upload a true image file (jpg or png) and, for best display, an image that is 200 x 200 pixels.

Alternatively, you can upload a CSV file containing a URL for each employee's contact photo file. Please note that this URL will be accessed by our server, so make sure you use public URLs. Any URL that points to your Intranet or that requires a username and password to access will not work. Your CSV format should look like this:

Once you've loaded your employee contact photos, your contact photo will display on the contact page! If you have a list view selected, the iPad will look like this:

If you've chosen the grid view, it will look like this:

This, like many of our features, was a direct request from our users, and we're always thrilled to get feedback that enables us to improve! You can see the feature requests we're considering/working on/releasing, and then vote on what's important to you here.
