Description of Features
The Status Indicator, Notes, Contact List, and Search box are features of Communicator 2007
that can help you communicate more effectively with co-workers and students. The following are
descriptions of the four features.
Status Indicator
The Status Indicator shows your availability and that of each contact on your Contact List. It
also reflects your Outlook calendar. For example, if you have something scheduled on your
calendar, your Status Indicator in Communicator will automatically change to Busy. However,
you can manually set/change your status should you want your contacts to feel they can contact
you via IM.
Your Status Indicator is the large colored icon in the top left corner of the Communicator
window. The Status Indicator for each contact appears before their names in the Contact List.
The following are the available Status Indicators.
NOTE: Some Status Indicators are set automatically by the program and cannot be manually
selected (e.g., Offline).
The contact is online and is available for communication.
The contact is online but is preoccupied with another activity
(e.g., a meeting) and is unavailable for communication.
NOTE: During the times that you have meetings scheduled on
Outlook, your Status Indicator will change to this icon.
The contact has manually set their status to Do Not Disturb.
The contact is online but has not been active on his/her
computer for a period of time so Communicator 2007 assumes
that the contact is not present and automatically changes the
Status Indicator from Available to Away.
NOTE: This Status Indicator can also be set manually.
The contact is online but has not been active on his/her
computer for a period of time. The status is transitioning to
Away.
NOTE: This is automatically set by Communicator 2007.
The contact is scheduled for a meeting and has been inactive on
his/her computer for a period of time. The status is transitioning
