Setting up business cards

You can configure the IBM® Sametime® Community Server so that business card information about an individual displays when a user hovers over a name in a chat window or a contact list.

About this task

Business card can access user information from any of four types of storage repositories: the native Domino® Directory, an LDAP directory (including a Domino LDAP directory), a custom Notes® application, or the Connections Profiles application. Each repository stores user information differently, so to facilitate user searches, Sametime provides a search engine, called a black box, for each storage type.

Using information in the LDAP server or the native Domino Directory, you can choose the fields that represent the information that you want to display in the business card. The available fields are:

Photo
Name
Company
E-mail address
Telephone
Address or location
Title

You can set up or change the details you want to retrieve by changing the values for these fields on the main Business Card page.
