Integration with social features is new in Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator 2.5.

To search for people, view My Site information, and view people information, you need to connect to Microsoft SharePoint 2010 or to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 as a social networking platform.

Note: When you add a site on SharePoint 2010 or MOSS to Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator, it is automatically set as your social server.

You can configure or change your social server manually:

1. From the application menu, select File > Preferences > SharePoint.
2. In the drop-down list Social Server > Select the social server, select the social network server from any of the registered SharePoint 2010 or MOSS sites.

Notes:

• Add a SharePoint site from your social server to include the server in the list of available social networking servers.
• If you have more than one site registered for the SharePoint server, the credentials for the first listed site are used to identify you on the social server.

The Show 'My Site' in the sidebar check box adds a My Site entry to the bottom of the site drop-down list in the sidebar.

The Show people information in the sidebar check box enables context sensitive people information in the sidebar. The sidebar displays SharePoint profile information with SharePoint links and Sametime presence awareness for the people associated with the active item in Lotus Notes.

To remove social networking integration, and disable the social features in Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator, do the following:
