Making business card fields expand and collapse

You can configure the Person card to display the business card fields for a selected name by letting users click a small control to expand the rest of the profile or hide it from view. You enable or disable this control by modifying the showExpandableSection custom property in the IBM WebSphere Application Server administrative console.

  1. Select the appropriate console, depending on environment:

    • If running stand-alone, use the local administrative console.

    • If running in a cluster, use the console of the Deployment Manager.

  2. Start the administrative console by entering the URL in the location field of a Web browser:

      http://example.com:admin_port/ibm/console

      where example.com is the name of server and admin_port is the port assigned to the administrative console.

  3. In the navigation, click Resources -> Resource Environment -> Resource Environment Providers.

  4. Locate and click the resource WP PeopleService.

  5. Under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties.

  6. Locate the custom property showExpandableSection and set the value as needed:

      true enables the control, allowing users to click either Show More to expand the business card, or Show Less to collapse the business card.

      false hides the control.

  7. Click Apply and then save the settings.

  8. Restart the portal server.
