Configure Hobbies & interests card

Hobbies & interests card

The Hobbies & interests card is a way for colleagues to get to know each other on the intranet. The Hobbies & interests card can be added to profile pages. Users can select multiple hobbies and interests to display on their profile. When a user views another person's profile, they will see hobbies and interests that they have in common, as well as that person's unique interests. Users can pick from hobbies and interests that their intranet admin has made available on their interest.

Administrators can modify the title and interests of the Hobbies & interests card to display something else that users may have in common.

For user instructions about using the hobbies & interests card, see Add hobbies & interests to your profile.
