Switch presence to a temporary status

Assume that you would be away for a scheduled meeting during which you are unavailable to answer calls, but you want calls to be forwarded to the previous destination when you are available. In case you forget to change presence, you can switch presence to a temporary status, and set how long the status will last.

Procedure
  1. Log in to Linkus Web Client.
  2. In the top pane, select Set Temporary Status from the drop-down list of presence.
  3. In the pop-up window, configure the following settings:
    1. In the Change Status To drop-down list, select a temporary status.
    2. In the Hour and Minute drop-down list, set how long the temporary status will last.
    3. Optional: In the Set Status Message field, add a personal note to the temporary status.
  4. Click Save.

    Related presence settings take effect.

Result
In the top pane, hover your mouse over presence, check when the temporary status will expire.

When it comes to the expiration time, presence and relevant settings would be switched back to the previous one.
