Adding people awareness to portlet JSP files
The people awareness feature of WebSphere® Portal allows users to collaborate with other users using person links.
WebSphere WebSphere Portal includes the people awareness feature, which is provided by person links on JSP pages. Person links are hyperlinks that allow users to contact people with whom they might want to work. Portal users can click the person link to display a menu of collaboration actions for contacting and working with the person defined by the link. Different actions are available, depending on how the collaboration software is configured and the online status of the person.
For additional information, refer to the People awareness section of the WebSphere Portal Information Center.

- Double-click on a JSP
file to open it in Page Designer.

Portlet drawer in the Palette view.

Person Link object from the Palette view onto the page. Alternatively, select
