4.3 Availability
Availability refers to the ability to see whether a person is available or not: online, on phone, busy, and so on.
Your availability information is displayed below on the main menu. The availability of others is displayed in the
Contacts tab.
You can publish your availability to contacts who have softphone address, and you can set up Bria Professional
to view the availability of other contacts.
If the contact has several addresses, you can look at their profile for information on which addresses are
currently online:
Sharing Availability
Watching Others’ Availability
When you create a contact by entering details in the Contact Profile, the contact is automatically set up so that
you share availability. If you created a contact by importing a contact list, it is not automatically set up to
shared. You must display the Contact Profile and click the Advanced button. See “Contact Profile — Advanced
Dialog” on page 37.
As soon as the person is set up in this way in your Contacts, Bria Professional sends them a notification request.
The request asks that you be able to see that person’s availability. If the person allows this request, then the icon
beside their name (in your Contacts) becomes color coded, so you can determine their availability.
