See how you are connected to someone
Use the Who Connects Us widget that displays when you are viewing a person's profile to see the social path that links you to that person. The social path displays as a list of people who link you and the profile owner.
About this task
The Who Connects Us widget provides information about how you are connected to the profile owner, and how the profile owner is connected to other people in the social path. This information can be useful if you are looking to expand your social network and want to find people who are connected to you in some way. Or, you might want to get a clearer picture of the social structure in your organization.
Note: The widget takes only 400 contacts from each person into consideration when building the
social path. This means that you might not see a complete path if one or more of the people in the
path has more than 400 contacts.
Procedure
Use the Who Connects Us widget in
the following ways.
- Select the profile picture of a person to display a list of the ways in which that person is linked to you.
- When you want to find out more about a person in the social path, click the person's name or profile photo to open their profile.
- Expand the sections to view more information about how you are connected to the profile owner. You can also see how the profile owner is connected to other people in the social path.
- Move to other profile photos to display more people to whom you are connected socially.
