Connect to others using the business card

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

The business card provides a useful snapshot of a user's IBM Connections profile information.

This feature is not supported by IBM SmartCloud.

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

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 service

   • 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 the 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 to save the vCard.

   • Access the applications associated with a person by clicking More Actions and selecting an application. For example, we can view a person’s full profile by clicking Profiles.
