How to Set a Browser Future Status
To setup a “Future Status” with Workplace use the Update Status screen that you can access by clicking on the “Status” button from the top Workplace Toolbar. Make sure you check the “Future Status” box. You can also check the boxes to add to your “Company Calendar” (if this has been setup by your Workplace Administrator) and/or Synchronize to Outlook (if you all use Outlook for your email there).
To set a future status, you could also choose a Status Location as an available status option (if your Workplace has been setup with using those options), and set the starting and returning time by using the date and time pickers, optionally enter a comment and finally click OK.
Auto Return Status – Check this option and a drop down menu will come up to choose the status that will be set automatically after the end of the date and time pickers, and finally click OK.
Add To Company Calendar – Check this option if you want to add your Future status to the Company Calendar as a reminder automatically turned on.
