Within your network, you can check the presence status of people. Presence statuses include online, away, invisible, or "do not disturb," providing insight into their availability.
Within your network, you can make audio or video calls when your contact is available.
In summary, My Network represents all my contacts with whom I typically collaborate.
In Rainbow, inviting someone to join your network is a simple process that enables you to connect with individuals both within and outside your company.
Note: A company can be declared as "Public" (visible in Rainbow to all users except members of Closed and Isolated companies) or "Private" (visible only to its members). In case of "Public" company, simply use the search by name feature to find a person and invite them to join your network.
Invite Someone of your Company or an Outside Company (public)
In this section, we'll explain how to invite someone from your own company or a public company outside (meaning a company declared as public in Rainbow). In this scenario, you can use the search by name feature to find the person you want to add to your network.
If the person is part of your company, your invitation request is automatically accepted. For someone from another company (public), the invited person will need to accept the invitation before joining your network.
