Title: Profile Pages

In social networking applications, each person's profile page is a hub for their activity. It acts as both a directory entry and a blog that is navigable by using the Date Range Selector (provided that the skin you are using displays the Date Range Selector). The Traction Profile page is the ideal place to learn about any person and their contributions to TeamPage.

Each person may edit their own picture and profile information, Traction does the rest. There is no need to create a personal blog just to publish your own posts and comments: Traction Sections roll up each person's contributions across all projects, with appropriate permission filters applied for every reader.

The Profile pages for each TeamPage user are easily found by interactive name completion in the People search box.



The default Recent Articles and Recent Comments sections shown below can be modified or replaced by other section definitions by either a TeamPage server administrator (as a new default for that TeamPage server), or overriden as a personal preference. For example - it's easy to include a section containing a personal list of favorite posts or links on your Profile page.

Regardless whether the Profile Page setup is being done by a system administrator or user, the customization is done in the Personal Information tab for the user account. When you click on My Profile to view your Profile Page, then click the Edit Profile button, Traction will display the Personal Information tab under My Account.
