Presence #
~.UcClient.~ allows users to control their 'Presence', giving other users of the system information about what their availability is and where enabled, control over their Do Not Disturb, Call Forwarding and Personal Routing states.
Users can control their availability by selecting any of the pre-configured presences from the user menu:
This presence can then be supplemented with a status message to provide more additional context if required, e.g. On the road (until 4pm) or In a meeting (all afternoon).
Using presence, users can indicate they are either 'Available' or 'Unavailable'. If in the available state, ~.UcClient.~ will automatically update their state to busy on a call whenever the are connected to a call on any other their devices.
- Available,
- Away,
- Busy
The table below outlines each of the profiles available, along with information on the default availability presented when selected:
