What is it?

The My Contacts widget displays a list of your contacts in the digital workplace. Within each member’s profile is an option to add them as a contact. Once someone becomes a contact, they will be displayed on a list in your profile. You can use a My Contacts widget to access your list of contacts from another page or space in the workplace. See the Contacts article for more information on how contacts work in Igloo.
