An example

On the right, you can find an example of a user card. Please note that it does not include information
such as the primary organisation location or the cost centre as this information was not provided in Google Workspace.
Synchronisation
The user information is synced within two hours from Google Workspace. This means that when a Google Workspace admin changes user information, the user information will be reflected in Happeo.
However, Happeo does keep a 12-hour cache of opened users, meaning that you may see old user information up to 12 hours if the user data is fetched from the cache.
Updating Happeo user profile picture
The Happeo user profile picture is synced from Google Workspace. However, if you would like to update your profile picture manually, you can navigate to your User Settings and click on "Change Avatar". This will take you to your Google account and you will be able to update your picture for both Happeo and Google Workspace.
By updating your profile picture through your Google account, all Google Workspace services will have the same photo (Gmail, Drive, Calendar etc.).
Hiding users from search
You can hide a user from search by unselecting the contact sharing in the Google Workspace admin panel.
- From the Admin console Home page, go to Apps Google Workspace Directory
- Click on Sharing settings
- Select Enable contact sharing and save your changes
