Connecting to others using the business card

Use the business card to view peoples' contact details and get in touch with them.

About this task

The business card provides a useful snapshot of a user's IBM® Connections profile information.
Note: This feature is not supported by Connections Cloud.

The business card provides links to the IBM Connections applications that are used by the person so that you can perform a number of actions. For example, if your administrator configured email addresses to display, you can send an email.

Procedure

  1. To access a person's business card, right-click their name in any IBM Connections dialog, or for example the People section, and select View business card.
  2. Use the business card to perform the following tasks:
    • Click the name of a person to open their IBM Connections profile.
    • Add the person as a colleague by selecting the Invite to My Network icon, typing an invitation message, and clicking Send invitation.
    • Follow a person by selecting the Follow icon. You will receive notifications about this person’s activities.
    • Send the person an email by clicking Send E-mail icon.

      This option is not available if your administrator configured IBM Connections to prevent email addresses from being displayed.

    • Download a person’s vCard by choosing More Actions > Download vCard and specify a path where you want to save the vCard.
    • Access the applications that are associated with a person by clicking More Actions and selecting an application. For example, you can view a person’s full profile by clicking Profiles.
