Automatically Changing Your Online Status
If you use Sametime Connect for the desktop, you can enable Sametime Connect to automatically change your online status based on your use of the mouse and keyboard. This feature is helpful if you sometimes forget to change your online status to Away when you leave your computer or to Active when you return to your computer.
Follow these steps to enable Sametime Connect to automatically change your online status:
- Choose Options - Preferences.
- Select the Status tab.
- Select or clear the "From Active to Away..." check box.
- Selecting this check box enables Sametime Connect to automatically change your online status from Active to Away if you do not use the mouse or keyboard for the specified number of minutes. This option does not change your online status if you have Offline, Do Not Disturb, or Away status.
- Clearing this check box means that you must manually change your online status.
- If you selected the check box in step 3, specify a number of minutes. The default is 20 minutes.
- Select or clear the "From Away to Active..." check box.
- Selecting this check box enables Sametime Connect to automatically change your online status from Away to Active whenever you use your mouse or keyboard. Using the mouse or keyboard does not affect your online status if you have a status of Offline, Do Not Disturb, or Active.
- Clearing this check box means that you must manually change your online status.
