If you're going to be out of the office for a period of time, you can set up an away message to let colleagues know when you'll be unavailable and who they should contact while you're away.
Set up your away message
Where to find it
Click your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner of the screen
Select Away message
A window will open where you can customise your message.
You'll be able to:
Turn the away message on or off
Choose the dates when the message should be active
Enter your away message
Select a colleague as your stand-in contact
Click Save.
Scheduled away message
Once saved, you'll see 'Scheduled' next to the away message option.
This means everything is set up and ready to go - your message will turn on automatically on the date you entered.
When your away message is active
When your away message is active for the current day, a purple moon icon will appear on your profile badge. This confirms that your away message is currently enabled.
What colleagues will see
When someone views your profile while your away message is active, they'll see your message along with the stand-in contact you've selected.
