Display in Pathways

View your search results on the People tab.

<name of person>

View the person's Pathways user profile.

Launch the Pathways Portlet Preferences page, which lets you modify the following preferences:

  • The maximum number of popular and related tags that you want displayed in this portlet.
  • The maximum number of search results that you want displayed on each page of this portlet's search results.

Note: The numbers of tags and results to display settings that you configure on the Pathways Portlet Preferences page override the same settings that you configure on the Pathways Preferences page. The settings on the Pathways Portlet Preferences page only affect the display of the Pathways Items and Pathways People portlets. You configure portlet display preferences such as the result types that you want to see in your search results and whether you want to view scores and ActivityRanks by using the Pathways Preferences page.

Apply Tags

You must have the Add Tags capability to apply tags. Launch the Pathways - <name of person> dialog box, which lets you apply tags to and remove tags from the person. You can only remove tags that you have applied.

Add to contacts

You must have the Add Favorites and Contacts capability to add contacts. Add the person to your Contacts list.

Tip: To view all of your Contacts, choose the My Contacts view, then perform a search with a blank search query.

Note: Contacts are unrelated to tags. Adding people to your Contacts list has no impact on the tags that are applied to those people.

Remove from contacts

Remove the person from your Contacts list.
