5.0 Customizing Profiles 

Previous | Next

A default IBM Connections implementation offers a certain number of data fields (attributes) for People, and a default layout of those attributes. A customized implementation of IBM Connections can have additional attributes added, and provide a modified layout.

Through use of examples, in this section, we show you how to add a new attribute to profiles and to the layout of Profiles pages.

IBM Connections provides a default Profile type to show all profiles in the same way, you can customize the IBM Connections to show Profiles differently depending on the defined Profile types. We illustrate this by examples.
