My Contacts widget

The My Contacts widget displays a list of your contacts in the digital workplace. Within each member’s profile is an option to add them as a contact. Once someone becomes a contact, they will be displayed on a list in your profile. You can use a My Contacts widget to access your list of contacts from another page or space in the workplace. See the Contacts article for more information on how contacts work in your digital workplace.
