Save and test the image display

Result: Users see a professional square thumbnail profile image in a styled card container on the Contact page, perfect for quick visual identification


Key Considerations

  • Image Source: Use ContentDocumentId for secure files; ensure URLs are accessible.

  • Size and Crop: Adjust Width, Height, and Crop Size for layout consistency.

  • Performance: Optimize image size to avoid slow loading.

  • Accessibility: Add alt text via descriptions; test with screen readers.

  • Limitations: No editing; respects sharing/FLS rules.


Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Image Not Displaying: Check Image Url or Content Document Id and file permissions.

  • Crop Issues: Verify Crop Size and Crop Fit settings match the image aspect ratio.

  • Card Not Showing: Ensure Display as Card is true.
