To make it easy to view and message your contacts, your personal connections (to other community users and to community content) are accessible from the My Connections tab.

• Contacts
• Networks
• Communities

Contacts

Here, you can see each user you've connected with, either by sending invitations they've accepted or by accepting theirs. The system will also automatically recommend people to you in the People you may know area that share a commonality with you. This is done to help you connect with other members.

Here:

• If users are listed in the People you may know area, you can click Request Contact to add them to your Contacts List or Ignore to remove that suggestion.
• Click someone's name to view their profile.
• Click Send Message to message a Contact (it's sent to their account inbox).
• Click Remove Contact to remove someone from your Contact List.

See Connect with Other Users to learn how to add a Contact.

Networks

Networks are groupings of users who have something in common (e.g., live in the same state; previously worked for the same employer) based on the value that the users have provided for a Demographic.

NOTE: You are automatically added to a Network if the value that you provided for a Demographic (e.g., Ohio; YYZ Inc.) aligns with that of other users.

Your Networks page lists the networks that you belong to, along with the total number of users in each network.

• Click either the network name or its Members button to visit the associated Contacts page that lists all of the other users in that network.
• On the Contacts page, you can:
  • access other users' profiles,
  • send a message to other users, and
  • add other users to your My Connections > Contacts list.

Communities

This page lists each community you belong to. Here, you can:

• click a community's name to access it,
• click the Discussions, Libraries, and Members button to the right to quickly access that content for one of your communities,
• and click Explore All Communities to see if there are other communities out there you'd like to join.

Following

This page lists all of the content you've followed across your community, providing a one-stop shop for you to quickly jump to the content you're interested in.

See Follow Content to learn more.

Mentoring Relationships

NOTE: An additional My Connections page, Mentoring Relationships, is available to enrolled Mentors and Mentees belonging to organizations licensing the Mentor Match module.

This module is only available to Community, Community Plus and Community Enterprise customers.

This page enables you to keep track of your activity in your organization's mentoring program. View and manage requests from individuals who would like to have you as a Mentor or Mentee, monitor your active and/or completed mentoring relationships, and access any requests you may have previously declined.
