Use the business card

If email addresses are configured in Connections, we can send an email by clicking the email address in the card. If IBM Sametime awareness is enabled, the card displays the user's status information.

Access a person's business card by hovering the cursor over their name in any application, and clicking the business card link.

Use the business card to complete any of the following tasks:

• Access the applications associated with a person by clicking the links on the business card. For example, by clicking Files, we can access the person's public file library and any files that are shared with you.

• Add the person as a colleague by selecting More Actions > Invite to My Network, typing an invitation message, and then clicking Send invitation.

• Download and save the person's vCard by selecting More Actions > Download vCard, selecting a character encoding option, and then clicking Download.

• Send the person an email by clicking Send E-mail.

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

• Start a chat session with the person by clicking Chat.

  To use this option, install the Connections plug-in for Sametime.

• Start a telephone conference call with the person by clicking Call.

  To use this option, install IBM Sametime Advanced Telephony.
