For each contact, the contact's name is displayed. On the line below the contact name, the site for this contact is provided, enclosed in square brackets. If a job title has been defined for this contact, it is displayed after the site.

The colored ring around each profile picture indicates the current status of the contact:

  • Green: available
  • Orange: the contact has set Do Not Disturb for voice, text, or both
  • Red: not available

Details on the contact's current status are provided below the site and title for the contact. These include the following:

  • The contact's availability status, corresponding to the colored ring around the user's photo or initials. This is one of Available, Do Not Disturb, or Not Available. For Do Not Disturb, the current status indicates whether calls, messages, or both or are not being let through.
  • Messages Forwarding indicates that messages to this contact are being forwarded to another contact.
  • Off Campus indicates that the contact is available but is not on the corporate network. An example of this is when the contact is logged into the VMP Web Console.

    Note: Your server may be configured to not display the Off Campus status. Contact your administrator for more details.
