Switch presence status 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 status, you can switch presence to a temporary status, and set how long the status will last.

  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 note to the temporary status.
  4. Click Save.
    The presence status and the relevant presence settings take effect.
    Tip: In the top pane, you can hover your mouse over the presence to check when will the temporary status ends. When the time is up, presence status and relevant settings would be switched back to the previous one.
