Viewing or editing an identity

You can view or edit the contact information Groove users see when they open your Groove contact. Providing detailed contact information may help other people distinguish you from other Groove users who have the same display name. For example, if your contact display name is "Kris Jones," you may want to ensure that other Groove users know you're "Kris Jones from the Concord" instead of "Kris Jones from Boston."

Note: You may have policies applied to your computer or Groove account that prohibit you from editing your identity information. For more information, see you Groove administrator.

To view or edit your contact information:

  1. Select Options - Preferences, and click the Identities tab.

  2. Select the identity for which you want to edit contact information from the Identities drop-down menu.

    All information currently entered for the selected identity displays in the dialog box.

  3. Click Edit to open the Edit Identity dialog box.

  4. Add or change information in the edit fields on the Business and Personal tabs.

  5. If you're editing your default identity, the Edit Identity dialog box includes a Jabber tab from which you can create or select a Jabber account to be associated with this identity.

  6. When done editing, click OK.
