Avatar Properties

The Avatar component has the following properties:

  • Component Id - Sets the name of the Avatar component in the app. The Component Id can be referenced using JavaScript to add more functionality to the app as needed.

    Pro Tip: It is a best practice to use only letters without spaces for the Component Id. Symbols, spaces, and numbers are not recommended.
  • ALT Text - Sets the text that appears if the Image fails to load. The Alt Text appears in a blank box where the Image would normally appear. It's recommended to always use Alt Text for any Images. 
  • Link - Sets the link to another Page in the app or an external URL.
    Pro Tip: Type in tel:5558675309 to link to a phone number with "5558675309" replaced with the applicable 10-digit phone number or mailto:emailaddress to open up the default email client from the app with "emailaddress" replaced with the email address you want to be sent the email.
  • Open Link in a New Tab - Toggles on or off whether the Link opens in a new tab or not in the app. 
  • Border Radius - Sets how rounded Avatar corners appear by entering a number from 0 to 50. A setting of 0 will result in a square Avatar and a setting of 50 will result in a circular Avatar.
  • Avatar
    • Image - Upload a .JPG or .PNG to display an Image. To remove an uploaded Image, click on the Trash Can.

      Pro Tip: Optimize all Images for the web to increase app performance and shorten load time. Square images are cropped to fit inside the circular frame. A square image 300 px by 300 px is recommended.
