Remember, though, that when you have set your Presence state to Do
Not Disturb, you??™ll only be able to see urgent alerts from team members.
Location status is now available from the Presence menu in MOC 2007. You can
select either the Home or the Offi ce location, or you can enter a custom location.
When you set the Location option, your location information becomes available on
your Contact Card. Anyone to whom you??™ve granted Personal or Team access levels can
now see it.
To explain further, OCS 2007 provides the underlying structure on which client applications,
such as MOC 2007, publish and subscribe to the various levels of presence information. This
underlying structure includes categories and containers. We can defi ne categories as pieces of
information, such as status, location, or calendar state, pertaining to presence. In a similar way,
containers are the logical carrier where client applications publish pieces of presence information.
When that presence changes, client applications can publish just the individual category
instead of the entire presence document.
Nine levels of presence are now available for use with the client applications. Those
levels are:
?– Available
?– Inactive
?– Away
?– Busy (Inactive)
?– Busy
?– Do Not Disturb
?– Offl ine
?– Unknown
?– Blocked
Also remember that six different categories of presence information are now available:
?– Name/e-mail (your name and e-mail address)
?– Basic contact information (your title and company)
?– Detailed contact information (your work phone, work address, offi ce number,
SharePoint site, free/busy schedule, notes [out of offi ce], and notes [personal])
?– Additional numbers (mobile phone, home phone, and other phone)
?– Location (current location, time away, and working hours)
?– Meeting details

In MOC 2007, you can assign your contacts to one of the several presence levels mentioned
earlier.
