To make it easy to view and message your contacts, these personal connections are accessible from the My Connections menu. Included are four pages:
- Contacts,
- Networks,
- Communities,
- and Following.
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.
From 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.
NOTE: Refer to the Connect with Other Users page to learn how to add someone to your contacts.
Networks
Users who share a characteristic in common, such as living in the same state, sharing a previous or current employer, or sharing a specific Demographic value, are automatically grouped in a common list called a network.
On your Networks page, you can view the networks you belong to, along with the total number of users in each. Clicking a network's Members button allows you to view everyone belong to it, allowing you to easily connect with others you already share a commonality with.
Communities
This page lists each community you belong to. From 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.
