Using Messenger - Update Your Status

By choosing the Update Your Status selection on the Messenger pull-down menu, the program automatically takes you to the status dialog box. In the In/Out Board of the Contacts Tab, PortalsXpress Messenger displays your status, your expected time of arrival (return), and any comment that you have entered. The status dialog also provides you with a Quick Set Return Time feature; simply click to make your selection.

PortalsXpress Messenger conveniently associates and displays a distinctive icon with each status. PortalsXpress Messenger provides default comments for some status settings. For example, if you select the status "At Lunch", the comment area will display those words. While input in the comment area is optional, you can enter a comment that further explains your status. For example you may wish to enter your cell phone number here as contact information when you sign out for lunch.

Time Saver Tip! Use the Quick Set Return Time feature to have PortalsXpress Messenger quickly and automatically update your return time. This information will be displayed in the In/Out Board of the Contacts tab.

You can control who has rights to change or update your status in the In/Out Board. To grant or deny an individual permission to update your status, select "Settings" from the pull-down Messenger Menu then click on the "Manage Contacts" button. This will take you to your account at the www.portalsxpress.com website where you can view and edit your Contacts list.
