INTRODUCTION
This article discusses how to view the online status of contacts in Microsoft Office Groove 2007 and in earlier versions of Groove.



MORE INFORMATION
You will always be able to view the online status of contacts who are members of your workspace. You will also be able to view the tools that they have open, whether they are active in the workspace, and other authentication information. In Groove Virtual Office 3.1 and in earlier versions of Groove, people could select whether to display their online status to various classes of contacts. For contacts who are using one of these versions of Groove and are not members of your workspace, you will be able to see the contacts who are online and who are ready to use Groove only if they have selected options to reveal their online status to you.

To view the online status of contacts who are members of your workspace in Groove 2007 or in Groove Virtual Office, enter the workspace or select the workspace in Workspace Manager. To view the online status of contacts who are members of your workspace in Groove Workspace 2.5, enter the shared space or click the shared space in My Spaces. To view additional information about a member, hold the pointer over the name of the member.

To view the online status of contacts who are not members of your workspace, view the Contacts list. To view the Contacts list if you are using Groove 2007 or Groove Virtual Office, click the Contacts tab. Or, click Contact Manager on the Options menu. To view the Contacts list if you are using Groove Workspace 2.5, click Go To, and then click My Contacts. The Contacts list contains icons next to the contact name. These icons indicate the contact's online status.
