When someone sends you a 1:1 message or @mentions you in a conversation and your status is set to something other than Available, they will see a warning message that states you are unavailable. You can add custom messaging to your status message when you are unavailable as well as assign a delegate when you are **Out of office**. An icon on your avatar indicates your current status. When your status is set to **Available**, a colored dot will show on your avatar, Green indicates you are Available and have been interacting with Domo.

These colors are automatically updated by the system based on your activity inside of Domo.
