LinkedIn Integration Guide

The LinkedIn Integration Guide provides users of the ExtraView web-based issue tracking and workflow management system, the knowledge and proficiency needed to integrate ExtraView with the LinkedIn website.

In writing this guide, we anticipate that the reader is familiar with many of the administrative functions found in ExtraView. We further expect that the reader is fully familiar with the operation and administration of LinkedIn.

Before deploying the LinkedIn integration solution, please read the following documents, authored by LinkedIn, and available online:
