Personal menu

The Personal Menu module displays a cogwheel or profile picture that opens a menu where personal settings can be made.

Menu options

At the top of the menu, you will see a profile picture or a cog icon. If you have a profile picture, a green icon will appear if you are logged in, a grey icon if you are not logged in, and a different icon if you have changed your status.

Set a status

Click on the Set a status button to change your status. A new view will appear where you can select a status.

Your most recently used statuses are displayed at the top of the list. This is followed by the status templates that are set up on the website. If you are in a meeting, sick or on holiday, your notifications are paused by default so that you are not disturbed.

Once you have set a status, the Add status button changes to Remove status. This allows you to remove your status whenever you want.
