How do you change people or user initials?

Posting this because I didn’t find the answer but after poking around managed to find how.

I setup 4 people with appropriate device tracking etc and it shows if they’re home/away etc.

There is only one problem. Two of them have the exact same initials.

For sake of example rather than use real names if we had Sam Daniels, Kasey Daniels, Sarah Daniels and Jack Daniels we’d have something like this.

You can change the picture for the person…but while that changes it within the sidebar it doesn’t change it within the Dashboard. Changing the name (in any of the three different places I found) does nothing.

The way to do it is to edit the dashboard, edit the card and that will pull up the “Grid Card Configuration”, locate the user you want (which will be the entity) using the right and left arrows or numbers.

Within the section find the “Image Path” for the one you want to change.

This will be for example:

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=‘SVG namespace’ viewBox=‘0 0 50 50’ width=‘50’ height=‘50’ style=‘background-color:%23b3e5fC’%3E%3Cg%3E%3Ctext font-family=‘roboto’ x=‘50%25’ y=‘50%25’ text-anchor=‘middle’ stroke=’%23212121’ font-size=‘1.3em’ dy=’.3em’%3ESD%3C/text%3E%3C/g%3E%3C/svg%3E

Locate the initials buried in the middle there…and change them to what you want.

For example to change to “Sam” you’d want

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=‘SVG namespace’ viewBox=‘0 0 50 50’ width=‘50’ height=‘50’ style=‘background-color:%23b3e5fC’%3E%3Cg%3E%3Ctext font-family=‘roboto’ x=‘50%25’ y=‘50%25’ text-anchor=‘middle’ stroke=’%23212121’ font-size=‘1.3em’ dy=’.3em’%3ESam%3C/text%3E%3C/g%3E%3C/svg%3E
