Global contact list?

Former Member

Hello All,

Is there a way to make a global contact list to be used for all users in the collaboration launch pad iview?

I have not been able to do so and I also tried to make one users my contacts available to all without any success.

What I want to use it for is an adressbook for all employees.

Does anybody know how to do this or if it's even possible?

Regards,

Lennart

Hi Lennart,

I'm not quite sure about your requirements, but...

> an adressbook for all employees

... doesn't the "Who's Who" iView fulfill your needs?

Hope it helps

Hi Detlev,

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I am kind of a newbie here, but doesn't the Who's who iview includes searching for a person?

My Boss wants to have access to all employees information by just clicking on a link in a list of employee names (like in the collaboration launch pad).

Hi Lennart,

actually the Who’s Who iView allows you to find users with a search request and, display more information, such as the user ID and telephone number from the UME. In the list you can click on the name to the the business card of the user (like in the collaboration launch pad).

The big disadvantage of this iView is that you have to start with a search and can not display just a global list of (selected) users.

Another alternative that seems very suitable for your scenario is the Collaboration Room Part "SAP Contacts". Normally this requires the use of Collaboration Rooms, is designed for saving centrally a list of selected users the can be searched from the UME store (like in the collaboration launch pad) and also shows the link to the business card.

If you might like to use the advantages of the "SAP Contacts" Room Part outside of Collaboration Rooms, and maybe also integrate non UME contacts as well as UME contacts with more KM properties than just the link to the business card, then my SDN Article might help you a lot on achieving this:

If you have further questions, I'd be glad to help you in implementing this scenario.

Hope this helps,

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your excellent answer.

At the moment my boss is content with a simple solution that I created as a first version, but later on he wants to upgrade it to better functionality. When that time comes around then I will look into your solution and contact you in case I run into any problems or have any additional questions.

Hi Lennart,

yesterday I finally wrote my first Weblog

/people/robert.briese2/blog/2005/09/15/creating-contact-lists-juggling-with-ume-attributes-and-km-properties

It describes the scenario mentioned above in more detail.

This Weblog should help working with my article and introduces the Property Renderer implementation that was beyond the scope of this article.

I hope it is of use for you and everyone who intends to build up global contact lists and/or wants to get a deeper view into KM Flex UI.

Best regards,

Robert
