Statuses

You have four statuses to select from; their default text is:

  • A green indicator. Online
  • A red indicator. Away
  • A yellow indicator. Busy
  • A gray indicator. Offline

A workplace administrator can customize this text. For more information see, Customizing workplace online status text.

As described below, you can also set custom text that persists across each status. 

Automatic updates on sign out and sign in

Once you set your online status, it will stay on that status until you sign out of your digital workplace or select a different status. After 15 minutes of being signed out of your digital workplace, your status will display as Offline to other users. When you sign back in, your status will default to what you set it to last.
