The Google Profile Card provides comprehensive and accurate information about campus users, making it even more informative and helpful for on-campus interactions. The Profile Card is visible to users in the UD Google domain and displays a wider range of details including:
Accurate Display Names
Your display name is based on your legal name unless you have officially registered a chosen name within Banner. This helps avoid confusion and ensures you're easily identifiable. If you've previously customized your display name, it has been updated to reflect your official record.
Streamlined Profile Editing for Consistency and Security
To ensure your information is accurate and up-to-date across all key UD systems, certain identifying fields can no longer be edited directly in your Google profile. Instead, update your official Banner record to make changes to your name or other key details. This streamlined approach not only helps prevent inconsistencies but also enhances security by reducing the risk of unauthorized changes to your profile, making it harder for compromised accounts to spread misinformation.
Profile Picture Updates
You can still make changes to your profile picture within Google. To learn how, read the knowledge base article: Change your Gmail profile picture.
Name Pronunciation
Adds an audio clip of your name that displays on your Google profile card. Colleagues can click a play button next to your name to hear it. To learn how, read the Creating a Name Pronunciation section of this knowledge base article.
Accessing a Google Profile Card
You can view someone's Google Profile Card by hovering your mouse over their name or profile picture in Gmail, Google Calendar, or other Google Workspace applications. You'll also see their Profile Card appear as a suggestion when you start typing their email address in the "To," "Cc," or "Bcc" fields of an email, when inviting them to a calendar event, or when you see their name in a comment within Google Drive applications. This helps ensure you're selecting the correct person and provides quick access to their contact information.
