People Finder interaction with other portlets | HCL Digital Experience

Other portlets can communicate with People Finder using URL addressability.

The Person tag uses URL addressability to communicate with the People Finder if People Finder is not on the current page. Other collaboration portlets can use URL addressability to programmatically integrate People Finder features. Portlets can display a link for the Show ProfileProfile action and thereby access People Finder functionality in their application contexts. Clicking Show ProfileProfile displays the Profile inside the People Finder.
