How do I search for and add Profile2 connections?
The Profile2 tool allows users to set up permanent connections with other Tunk system users.
Connected users can:
- View each other's Profile2 picture gallery
- Send messages through the Profile2 tool
- Chat using the Portal Chat tool.
Go to Profile (on your My Workspace site).
Click Search.
This displays the Search Profiles page.
(Alternative) - Click Connections, then click Search for connections.
- Click Connections.
- Then, click Search for Connections.
Enter your search terms.
Enter a name or (or partial name) to search for, and then click the Search button.
Note: The search by common interest function is inoperable in Trunk.
Optionally, you can limit the search to a particular course by selecting it from the drop-down menu.
View search results and click "Add As A Connection" on the user you want as a connection.
This displays a Connection confirmation dialogue box.
Click Add Connection.
Click the Add as a connection link to send a connection request to the selected user. The user will see this request under their Profile2 / Connections.
Note: Once you have sent a connection request to someone, you will see the text "Connection requested" displayed for that user until they accept or ignore the request.
Example of user approving a Connection request:
Click "Confirm Connection" to make a Profile2 connection between you and the requestor.
