A social network is based on the exchange of information. An important aspect
of this exchange is the spread of the respective personal networks of the
corresponding recipients. In the case of Intrexx Share, the personal network
is based on contacts. In principle, any Intrexx Share user can add any other
Share user to their contacts. This contact is a connection between two Intrexx
Share users which is always mutual. If a user is your contact, you are also
automatically a contact of that user. There are, therefore, no one-sided
contacts. The contact element is shown in the
News module and on the
personal page.
In the My contacts area, you'll see a selection of
your current contacts. From all existing Intrexx Share users who do not yet
belong to your contacts, random contact suggestions are displayed. If you would like
to search for a specific contact, you can enter their name in the
Search field. This searches through existing contacts
as well as contact suggestions. If a user is found, their profile image is shown
in the corresponding area. To show all contacts and contact suggestions, delete
the search term from the search field. The search field can be shown/hidden by
clicking on
Show/Hide search. Moving the mouse over a profile
image, both of contacts and contact suggestions, a short summary of their
profile information will be shown. Click on the picture of a user to open their
personal page.
1. Send contact request
By clicking on Contact request, you can send the
person a contact request. This link is found in the contact suggestion list.
You can also find this link on the
personal page of the
corresponding user, provided this user is not already one of your contacts.
On your own personal page,
you can see the element Sent contact requests. This
displays show all contact requests sent by you provided they have not been
accepted or removed by the recipient.
If you would like to take back a contact request, click on
Remove contact request. The reques recipient
will no be informed about the withdrawal of the request.

on your personal page.

New contact requests are also shown in the
Navigation bar. If you click on the corresponding symbol, this will open
a windown where you also have the option to confirm or remove the contact
request. The sender receives a notification when you click on
Confirm contact request. This person will then
be added to your contacts. If you remove a contact request the sender will
not be notified of this.
3. Delete contact
Existing contacts can be deleted on the
personal page of the

Pokes can only be used when the corresponding colleague has provided permission
for this in their
Profile settings. A poke can be entered on the
personal page of the
respective user. There, click on
Send a poke.

Send poke. The total number of pokes, which you

Furthermore, the Pokes element on your
personal page will
also inform you about new pokes.
You will also receive a notification about a new poke. If you click on the
link Reply you can respond to the poke.
When you reply to a poke, the original poke is deleted and therefore no longer
shown in the overview. If you would only like to take note of the poke but not
respond to it, click on

notified that the poke was deleted.
