Manage photos on profiles

In the Axon app, you can add a photo to a person or citizen profile from the More Actions [...] menu on their profile. Additionally. you can view all photos that have been added to a profile by selecting View All Photos.

When viewing a photo, you can edit its metadata, set it as the default photo for that profile, or delete it.

The various photo-related actions are controlled by the Entity Photo privileges, which can be managed from the RMS Administrator Console in the desktop application.

Add a photo

To add a photo to a profile in the Axon app:

  1. Using Records search or Standards search, find and open the profile.
  2. Select More Actions [...] > Add a photo.
    • The first time you take this action, you will be taken to your device's settings where you must give the Axon app access to your device's photo library.
  3. Either take a photo using your device's camera or select a file from your device.
  4. Update the photo category and type.
  5. Select Upload.
    • When an image is added to a profile, it is added at the end of the image list for that profile rather than the beginning.

Edit metadata

To edit a photo's metadata, select the photo from the profile. Select More Actions [...] > Edit metadata to adjust the photo category, type, and taken date. Select Save when your edits are complete.

Set as default

Set the person's default display photo by selecting a photo from the profile then More Actions [...] > Set as default. If the photo has already been set as the default photo, the Set as default option will not be selectable.

The default photo appears in search results for Records search or Standards search and in the search results that appear when searching to add an existing person to a report.

When an image is marked as the default photo, it overrides any other images that are categorized as "profile" photos.

Delete photo
