Connections Overview:

The Connections feature provides users with the option to connect with other users at VCCCD. Specifically, users can view Events attended by other users. A user's Connections' activity will appear in the user's Activity feed. Making connections to other users in the MyVCCCD portal is dependent on user profile settings. By default, all user accounts are set with the most restrictive privacy settings. This means you will only be able to search for and connect with other users if they have modified their own privacy settings to be more visible.

Connections Capabilities:

  • Connections can be added and removed.
  • Connections requests can be canceled.
  • Connections can be prohibited by blocking a user.
  • My Connections view displays individuals with whom a user is connected, connection requests that have been sent and received, and suggested Connections.
