Contact requests

Contacts are members of your digital workplace that you have connected with. Adding a contact makes it easy to access someone's profile and permits you to send a message to someone easily without searching the entire member's directory to find them. You can also modify your privacy settings to display portions of your profile only to contacts.

To add a contact, you must first send a request to the person you want to add. The person receiving your request will get a notification on their Userbar. Contacts quick link on your Userbar shows the number of pending contact requests and allows you to accept or ignore the most recent requests.
