Setting preference for showing presence

You can set preferences for how you show your online presence to other Groove users. The options you choose affect the status icons that display next to your name in any Groove contact list. For example, you can "hide" your online presence and thus appear to be offline to other Groove users. Additionally, you can set preferences for how idle contacts display in your contact list and workspace member lists.

Setting preferences for showing your online presence

  1. Select Options - Preferences, and click the Options tab.

  2. To hide your online presence, uncheck "everyone", and then uncheck one or both of the other options.

    • Uncheck "all users in My Contacts" to make your contact appear offline only in contact lists.

    • Uncheck "all workspaces members" to make your contact appear offline only in Workspace Member lists.

Setting preferences for displaying idle contacts

  1. Select  Options - Preferences, and click the Options tab.

  2. Check or uncheck settings for idle contacts under Presence Settings.

    Checking "Show as inactive" has the following result:

    • In your Launchbar contact list, idle contacts who are currently in one of your workspaces are listed under "Online" instead of "Active".

    • In workspace member lists, idle contacts continue to be listed as "In Workspace", but display with an idle indicator. If the "Sort to bottom of category" option is checked, these contacts are segregated to the bottom of the list.

    • Workspace tool tabs do not list idle contacts as present.

    • Idle contacts are not listed as present in workspaces in any workspace list.

    Checking "Sort to bottom of category" segregates idle contacts to the bottom wherever they display in lists.
