Messenger Tabs - Member's Status

A member's status is displayed in the In/Out List on the Member Tab of PortalsXpress Messenger. The status is displayed in icon and text format. The member can input additional text if he or she so desires. For example, perhaps you wish to sign out for lunch but would like to enter your cell phone number as contact information.

PortalsXpress Messenger provides some convenient update features. Providing that your status is set to "In", PortalsXpress will automatically set your status to "Out" any time that the program is shut down. This eliminates the need for you to sign out at the end of the day. PortalsXpress also provides an option checkbox that allows you to choose to automatically set your status to "In" with the startup of your computer. This option can be selected in the Settings dialog, accessed through the Messenger pull-down menu.

To update the Status, do one of the following:

  • Click on the on-line / off-line icon that is located in the upper left corner of PortalsXpress Messenger,
  • Click on the pull-down Messenger Menu then select Update Your Status.
  • Right click on your name in the In/Out List of the Contacts Tab and select "Change Status" from the menu that is provided.


You can control who has rights to change or update your status in the In/Out List. To grant or deny an individual permission to update your status, access the "Settings" dialog from the "Messenger" pull-down menu, and then click on the "Manage Contacts" button. This will take you to your account at the www.portalsxpress.com website where you can view and edit your Contacts list.
