🆕User Avatars

Overview

The Avatar feature in MangoApps lets you create a personalized digital representation of yourself that becomes your profile picture across the platform. This feature, when enabled by your Network Admin, adds a fun and expressive element to your profile.

Enabling Avatars

By default, the Avatar feature is OFF. A Network Admin can enable this feature by going to Admin Portal > Modules > People > Allow users to set & edit avatar

Once enabled, users will see a default avatar on their profile, along with an Update button to customize it.

Customizing Your Avatar

Clicking the Update button opens the Avatar Shop dialog. Here, you can design your avatar using a wide variety of assets such as:

• Clothing

• Pets

• Props

• Accessories and more

Types of Assets

Assets are categorized into:

• Free Assets: Available to all users without any restrictions.

• "Paid" Assets: Require the use of gamification points, which users earn through engagement on the platform.

When you save your avatar changes by clicking the Update button, a pop-up will appear if you have selected any unpaid items from the Avatar Shop. This pop-up will notify you that the items need to be purchased and prompt you to proceed with the purchase. It will also display the number of points required and your current points balance.

Once you use gamification points to claim a "paid" asset, it is yours to keep permanently—even if you stop using it and later want to use it again. These assets are also marked as Owned in the shop.

After Customization

Once you're done designing, your new avatar will appear on your profile page.

It will automatically be set as your profile picture across the platform. Your profile picture can be changed back at anytime.

The Avatar Shop is available on both web and mobile apps.
