Ownership is the question you ask a list fastest: whose client is this, whose project, who is chasing this candidate. A name in a column answers it slowly. A face answers it before you have finished reading the row. A picture per person also makes a team list look like a team. It is a small thing, and it is the difference between a workspace that feels staffed and one that feels like a spreadsheet.

Upload a photo, or pick a drawn avatar

Upload takes an image file from your computer. If you would rather not use a photo, pick one of the drawn avatars underneath — Show more brings up a fresh set until one fits. Either choice becomes your picture immediately, everywhere.Remove takes your picture away again. You are then shown as your initials on a quiet colour, which stays the same colour for you everywhere.
If you signed in with a work account that already carries a profile picture, Yena uses that picture from the start. It is only ever a starting point: the moment you upload one or pick an avatar, your choice stands and is never overwritten.

Where it shows

  • Owner columns — on companies, projects and candidates.
  • Owner and assignment pickers — you pick a colleague by face, not by reading a dropdown.
  • The team list in Tenant Admin.
  • The sidebar, next to your name.

The owner column on a project list

Ask everyone to do this in their first week. The value is in the whole team having one — a list where three people out of five are initials is no faster to read than a list of names.
