How the profile avatar works

Your Hintyr avatar is a colored circle displaying your initials (first letter of your first name and last name). It appears in the sidebar, the members list in Case Settings, and next to your cursor during collaborative editing. The text color adjusts automatically for contrast against your chosen background.

Choosing a color

Use the color picker to select any color you like. A live preview of your avatar updates as you adjust the picker. A swatch next to the Save Color button shows your current selection. When you're happy with the result, click Save Color to apply it.

Display name

Your display name comes from the first and last name on your account. The initials in your avatar are generated from these fields. If no name is set, a default initial is shown.

Where your avatar appears

  • Sidebar - Your avatar appears at the bottom of the navigation sidebar.
  • Case member lists - Team members are shown with their avatar color in Case Settings and the case header.
  • Collaborative editing - During real-time collaboration, each user's cursor is labeled with their avatar color and initials.
  • Members panel - Organization members are displayed with their avatars in the Members tab.

Permissions

The Profile tab is available to every Hintyr user. You can only change your own avatar color.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a profile photo instead of using a color?
Hintyr currently uses color-based avatars with your initials. Profile photo uploads are not available at this time.
How do I change my display name?
Your display name is tied to your account name. To update it, go to the Account tab and click Manage account, where you can change your first and last name.
Will other team members see my new avatar color immediately?
Yes. Once you save your color, it updates across all areas of the application. Other team members will see the new color the next time they load a page where your avatar appears.
