What is it?

Contacts are members of your digital workplace that you have connected with. Adding a contact makes it easy to access someone’s profile, and permits you to easily send a message to someone without having to search through the entire member's directory to find them. You can also modify your Privacy settings to display portions of your profile only to contacts.

To add a contact, you must first send the person you want to add a request. The person receiving your request will get a notification on their userbar. The Contacts quicklink on your userbar shows the number of pending contact requests and allows you to accept or ignore the most recent requests.

Use Cases

Create a Profile that can only be seen by your contacts

You can change the privacy settings to Contacts so only your contacts are able to see information saved in your profile. With this feature enabled, you can add whatever you like to your Profile and feel reassured that you alone controls who sees it.
