Contacts and privacy

This can be done by navigating to the Privacy section of your profile and setting the appropriate profile field(s) to Contacts. This will ensure that only your contacts can see that profile field.

• Link to Profile: To link to a contact’s profile, hover over their name to bring up the option.
• Card on Hover: Hover over a profile picture to pull up some quicklinks to frequently performed actions, a summary of the person’s achievements, and general information about them.
• Message: Select this option to email your contact.
• Contact: This feature allows you to delete a contact.
• Sort By
  • Last Name A-Z: This feature allows you to sort your contact list by last name, from A to Z.
