Global Contacts
The Global Contacts feature enables you to search and connect with external verified Business Unit Cards (BUCs) that are currently outside your Contacts List (previously your Address Book).
Note: a Verified Business Unit is a unit that has already been verified by WaveBL and is included in WaveBL Global Contacts. To connect to a Business Unit that is not in WaveBL Global Network, use Send Invitation to connect.
The Global Contacts streamlines the process of finding, filtering, and connecting with Business Units, making it easy to expand and manage your Contacts list in WaveBL.
