My Contacts (Address book)

Platform managers can enable the "My contacts" task for any role and customize the instructions that appear on the "My contacts" page.

"My contacts" enables constituents to create their own virtual address book based on a school directory.

If a platform manager has enabled "my contacts" for one of your roles, you can save results from the school directory to your personal address book.

  1. From a "constituent persona" (such as: student, parent, alum, faculty, friend), select Directories and choose a directory.

    Tip: Platform managers determine which directories each role can access.

  2. Search the directory.

  3. From the results, select Options and then choose

    • Add to contacts to save a result to your individual address book

    • or Remove contact to delete a result from your individual address book.

To view your address book, from a "constituent persona" (such as: student, parent, alum, faculty, friend), select Directories and then select My contacts. From there you can search your contacts, filter contacts, remove a contact (using Options, Remove contact), and change how results should show for your view.

Tip: For users who have access to a directory, the information they have permission to see in the directory depends on the profile publish access settings that platform managers enable users to share and the individual privacy settings selected by each user.
