Listing your contact in directories

When you activate your Groove account, your contact is listed in the Groove public directory (unless you change this default setting on the Options screen of the activation wizard). This makes it easy for other Groove users to find you and start Groove activities with you.

If your computer is connected to a local area network (LAN), your contact is also listed in your LAN directory.

The contact information you publish in these directories depends on how much information you include in the vCard associated with the contact identity. You can opt to display only your name, or all information provided in the vCard.

Changing the contact information you publish in directories

To change the contact information you publish in directories, do the following:

Select Options - Preferences and select the Identities tab.
Select the identity you want to change from the drop-down menu.
Select the listing options you want from the directory drop-down menus.

When you make your selection, an alert displays to confirm your action. Note that any subsequent changes you make in your contact vCard are immediately synchronized for all Groove users who have your contact in their contact list or workspaces.
- No Listing. Groove does not list this contact in the directory. If the contact is already listed, selecting this option removes the contact from the directory.
- Name only.Lists only your name as entered in the Full Name field of your contact vCard.
- Full vCard. Lists all information as entered in the contact vCard.

Removing your contact from directories

To remove your contact from a directory:

Select Options - Preferences and select the Identities tab.
Select the identity you want to delist from the drop-down menu.
Select No Listing from the directory drop-down menu.
