Offline Status

When you log off, a message is displayed to other Ipswitch Instant Messaging users. The Offline Status feature is useful when you want to provide a short explanation about why you are not logged on.

Examples of Offline Status message include the following:

• On vacation until July 25
• Traveling to the Winnipeg office 
• At customer location until Friday

Note: The Ipswitch Instant Messaging Server remembers your last entered message.

To Change your Offline Status:

1. From the Main Window, select Action > Log Off with Status.  The Offline Status dialog displays.

   

2. Enter your status in Offline Status Message, then click OK.

Or

1. From your computer's task tray, right click on the Ipswitch Messaging icon.
2. A list displays. Scroll up the list and select Log Off with Status.  The Offline Status dialog displays. 

   

3. Enter your status in Offline Status Message, then click OK.

Tip: You will not see your status change; your offline status is visible to other Ipswitch Instant Messaging users only after you've logged off.
