Customizing your online status messages
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.

You can customize the online status messages that appear when people point to your name in the instant messaging contact list.

You can also edit the message for your current online status by clicking the instant messaging section of the status bar and then selecting Edit current status message.

Follow these steps to create new default online status messages:

1. Click  File > Preferences.

2. Click User Preferences.

3. Click the plus sign next to Instant Messaging and then click Status.

4. Edit the default status messages by selecting messages from the drop-down menus or by entering new messages. You can store up to five different messages for each online status.

5. (Optional) Select or clear the Edit message every time check boxes. If you select these check boxes, you will be prompted to select or create a new online status message every time your online status changes.

6. Click OK.
