INSTANT MESSAGING

Editing your current online status message
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.

Note: The features described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM Lotus Sametime server. The Macintosh version of Lotus Notes does not support some instant messaging features, for example, instant meetings and multiple-person chats.

To temporarily change the message for your current online status, follow these steps:

1. Click the instant messaging section of the status bar (where your online status, such as "I Am Active, " displays).

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.
