In the Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP), users can configure how the system is to establish their availability status and display it to other users. Users have the following configuration options for their own availability status:
Setting of Your Own Availability Status | Description |
---|---|
Suppress status |
This is the standard setting delivered by SAP that applies after installation for all users. In front of the user name, the system displays the neutral availability status icon. Other portal users cannot see whether the user is online. |
Determine status automatically |
The system automatically determines whether or not the user is online and uses the corresponding icon to display his or her availability status: online or offline |
Not available |
The availability status icon indicates that the user is online, but does not want to participate in any online communication: |
As an administrator, you can predefine the default setting of the availability status for all users during routine operation. You configure the corresponding setting in the configuration of the Availability Status Services. For example, you can switch the default setting delivered by SAP for the availability status (Suppress Status) to Determine Status Automatically.
If the availability status setting has been changed since installation, the new default setting of the availability status does not take effect.
To predefine a new default setting for the availability status for all users, proceed as follows:
Property | Description |
---|---|
Active |
The settings for the Availability Status Service only take effect if this indicator is set. |
Default availability status setting |
Choose here the required default availability status setting that applies for all users, unless these users have manually configured their own availability status. |
Internal cache for availability status settings |
Name of the cache memory in user management in which the settings for the availability status for each user are stored temporarily. Caching these settings improves system performance. Default entry: ca_coll_ume_presence |
In the portal, the new default setting of the availability status takes effect for all users. However, manual settings are not overwritten.
