To view status updates:

By default, status updates are shown in the Colleagues/Following view, and in the people information pane. To show status updates in the Recent view as well, the extended profiles mode should be enabled. To do this:

Select File > Preferences > harmon.ie > Social > Show extended profiles.

When status updates are enabled, the Show or hide status updates icon () is added to the toolbar allowing you to turn the status updates on or off.

Note: Setting the Show extended profiles option increases the network traffic to the server, as full profile queries are sent to the server. Full queries are sent even if the Show or hide status updates icon is toggled off.

The people information pane:

The people information pane is located in the bottom part of the Locations tab. It automatically displays the business cards of the people that are associated with a selected email message, calendar event, or SharePoint document.

Notes:

• To view people information, you must have a configured SharePoint social server.
• Showing people information for the active email message, document, item, or calendar event, requires that the SharePoint search service is running. People in the active item are matched with profiles on the SharePoint social server using their email address. If the current site in the sidebar is on the social server, users are looked up using their account name.

To switch people information:

If multiple people are associated with the active item (for example, multiple email recipients), a down-arrow is displayed to the right of the person name.

To select a different person, click the down-arrow next to the name, and select another name from the list.

To hide the people information pane:

If you do not want to view the people information pane in harmon.ie, you can disable it.

Note: When the people information pane is disabled you can still click on a user’s name in the Locations tab and view their full business card in the People tab.
