Allowing Other Parties to See your Availability (Publishing your Availability)
Continuing from above, when the other person allows the notification request, your name is added to their
contact list. As soon as you are added to their list, a request is sent back to you requesting that they be able to
see you. Bria Professional accepts this request automatically and the other person can now see your availability.
The following chart illustrates how the sharing of availability occurs.
Receiving a Presence Request
Your Bria Professional receives a new contact request when you add a contact to your list or when another
person adds you as a contact at their end.
The request is handled in one of two ways:
• If you set up a privacy rule before this person has a chance to contact you, then you will never see this
request. Bria Professional will automatically reply to the request according to the rule. See “Preferences –
Privacy” on page 54.
• If you do not yet have a privacy rule set up for this person or for their domain, this request appears to you as
a Presence Request. You must respond to the request:
•
Block the request. This person will not be able to contact you from this address.
• Allow the request and create a new contact using this address.
• Allow the request and add this address to an existing contact (if Bria Professional has found an
appropriate match).
