The custom status lets each team member share their current situation (availability, location, activity) right from their profile. Team members can create their own status by choosing an icon, a message, and a duration — or they can use suggested statuses that already have a preset icon and duration.

As an admin, your role is to enable or disable this feature for the entire community.

•  

  1. Go to admin.humand.co and navigate to Settings → Profiles.
  2. Turn on the Custom status toggle.
  3. Click Save.
  

  Once enabled, all team members will immediately see the "Update your status" option in their profile.

  This feature is disabled by default. If you don't enable it, team members won't be able to set their status.

• When the feature is active, each team member can create their own status from their profile (web or app) by choosing:

  • An icon
  • A description (up to 100 characters)
  • A duration: 30 min, 1 hour, 4 hours, Today, This week, or a custom date/time

  They can also pick one of the predefined suggested statuses (In a meeting, Focused, At lunch, Sick, On vacation) and edit it before saving.

  The status appears on the team member's profile, in People, and in Chats. It disappears automatically when the chosen duration ends.
