Montco Connect: Creating your Profile
Montco Connect utilizes a user profile to further define yourself on the system. Adding information to your user profile is optional and is completely voluntary. By default, a user profile will only include a position title for employees and a program of study for students. The profile can store additional information such as a profile photo, a brief bio about yourself, educational history, hometown, work experience, languages, hobbies, and other skills.

Profiles are useful when searching for others with similar interests, backgrounds, etc. Using the Search feature, you can search for baseball, for instance, and find others who may have listed baseball as an interest within their profile. Once identified, Montco Connect permits users to send Connect requests to others. If the request is approved by the other user, a Connection is established with the other user. Connections can be used to permit or deny access to sending direct messages, checking online status, etc.
