Changing Online Status |
||
XSites Desktop Collaborator gives you the flexibility to remain online but "hide" from other XSites Desktop Collaborator users or website visitors when you need to keep "heads down." Of course, XSites Desktop automates status changes wherever appropriate, but you're free to change status as needed. To change your online status...
- From XSites Desktop Collaborator,
click the Status menu to the upper left of your contacts
list.
- From the drop-down that appears, select an appropriate online status.
Status items include:
- Available - If you want to appear online for other XSites Desktop users, but do not want to accept online chat requests from website visitors, select this status.
- Available to Web Visitors - If you want to appear online both to XSites Desktop users and to website visitors, select this status.
- Busy - If you want to appear online, but are currently working on other things, mark this option. Chat requests will still come through to you, but other XSites Desktop users will be able to see your status and should be less likely to attempt to contact you.
- Away - Choose this status to indicate that you are online, but are going to leave your computer. As a convenience, XSites Desktop automatically selects this status for you when you're idle on your computer for more than 5 minutes. When you start working with your computer again, it restores your previous status.
- Appear Offline - Choose this status to hide from all website visitors and other XSites Desktop users.
Adding a Motto to Your Status |
||
XSites Desktop lets you personalize your listing on the XSites Desktop chat network by adding a motto. If you want a short motto to appear to the right of your name in another XSite Desktop user's chat window...
- From XSites Desktop Collaborator,
click the Status menu to the upper left of your contacts
list.
- From the drop-down that appears, select Change my status message.
- In the box provided, type a Personal Status Message and click Save to apply it to your chat listing.
