INSTANT MESSAGING

Editing your current online status message
Note The features described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM Lotus Sametime server, and only for Windows versions of IBM Lotus Notes.

IBM Workplace Managed Client users: If your company uses IBM Workplace Collaboration Services for instant messaging, features may differ from the IBM Lotus Sametime instant messaging features described here. For information on instant messaging with Workplace Collaboration Services, see the Instant Contacts section of IBM Workplace Managed Client Help.

In addition to creating customized online status messages that apply anytime you use instant messaging, you can create a temporary online status message. This message appears as long as your online status remains unchanged. Once your online status changes, your default or customized online status message replaces this temporary message.

Follow these steps to temporarily change the message for your current online status:

1. Click the instant messaging section of the status bar.


2. Select "Edit current status message."

3. Enter a message or select a message from the drop-down list.

4. (Optional) If you want to select a different online status message every time your online status changes, select "Edit message every time." Remove the check mark if you do not want to use this feature.

5. Click OK.
