Microsoft Office Communicator Presence Etiquette – Leave a Note

In a previous blog post we talked about “presence” as a form of etiquette.  Presence is a quick and easy way for you to let others know your availability.  Another useful etiquette tool is the “Note”.  We are not talking about Thank You notes, although those are a good idea.  In this article we will show you how to leave a status note more descriptive than “available” or “away”.

Note Etiquette Bullets:
* Keep your notes short and to the point
* Make sure to remove your note when it’s no longer relevant
* Humor is a good thing (*depending on your company environment)

Steps to add a Note:

Adding a note is very straight forward, from your main MOC window click in the “type a note” box.

Then simply enter your message.  In this example I wanted to let my team know I would be out of the office for a few hours.

To view other’s notes just hover over the note icon in your main MOC window and a pop-up with the note will appear.  In this example someone is out to lunch.

This blog posting is intended to show you another small example of Microsoft Office Communicator etiquette.

We would recommend contacting Engage, Inc for any questions on OCS and its possibilities.  Also, please see our events page for upcoming webinars on OCS, CRM, xRM, SharePoint and Business Intelligence.
