This is still a critical feature request. At the very least, I would like to have an option so that users must manually enable invisible mode

I could not agree more that this needs critical attention. With the management of several remote employees who are available and seeing their status as 'offline' when they are not is illogical. This commonly gets misinterpreted as these employees being logged out of PC and/or NOT working. Having an IDLE status is their true status and should be changed in the software. This keeps the whole team happy. Offline in my opinion indicates the user is logged out of the desktop PC and entirely unavailable for call-taking.

Very critical, agree with all the comments. Idle should be a separate status. When this will be resolved ? It`s been 2 years..

Very critical

This is critical. And after chatting with Ring Central support, I cannot fathom how you landed on the current functionality. If the user leaves status as "Available" then after 10 minutes it automatically changes to "offline" status. If user changes status to DND, then it stays as DND indefinitely - even if user logs off. No way to change these settings.

If the user is idle for 10 minutes (or better yet a configurable time) then change status to "idle" - which is a status you definitely need to add. If the user signs off - change status to offline - REGARDLESS of whatever their prior status was.

100% agreement. This issue was originally posted over two years ago. Is there an update on when it might get resolved?

There should at the very least be a setting to deactivate this feature so that if you are on another application for 15 mins, you don't look offline. Please change this!

This would be really helpful for us to get this into affect. Some of our users get bumped out of the queue when they are waiting for calls. It hinders their productivity to always have the app open on one of their screens.

100% agree with all of these. We are having issues routing our calls properly b/c our users look 'offline' but they are here. An ability to edit the time of 15 mins before it updates your status to offline would be nice.

This is a huge issue for us. We're already fighting with Presence showing incorrectly, this just adds insult to injury. There should be a yellow "Idle" presence if anything. Not an "Offline" after inactivity. In our tests, "Inactivity" = being "away" from your Ring Central app/not actively clicking in it. Our users may be reviewing policies in a different window for 30 minutes or so and then become inactive. This is extremely confusing to our Receptionists who are trying to place calls, but see people inactive, when they're actually in the office.The Inactivity should come from true system inactivity where the system has been idle, not the desktop application interaction. That would denote true inactivity for a user. And I believe that still should show as a yellow "Idle" presence. Definitely not "Offline".

Same concern here. Our testing yielded:If a user is on their RingCentral smartphone app, and changes focus away from that app (switches to a different front app), then the HUD status for that user immediately changes to Offline. This is NOT an expected result.If a user is on their RingCentral desktop app OR web app, navigating to a different tab keeps their status on Active. Closing that tab changes their status to Offline. This IS an expected result.In our opinion, the smartphone app result is highly unexpected. From a user management perspective, you want to know if your agents are dodging calls, or if they are signed in on time and available to take calls. It doesn't make sense to change a user's status on the HUD to offline if they are truly online on their smartphone app, but have a different app in front. Offline doesn't accurately describe the fact that they are actually online and available to take calls.We would suggest that your team updates the product to add an Idle status like most chat apps have. Or, if that is too much, implement a timer system where the user only switches to Offline on their smartphone app if they don't have RC as their front app for a period of time, like 10 minutes.This is heavily tied to a related issue. We have expressed concern in the past over the lack of transparency on the 'Accept queue calls' button. Right now an agent can turn off that radio button and there is no way for management to view it. There used to be an option to see it on the web version where a user had an orange status, but that seems to have been removed. An agent can easily scam the system because of RingCentral's inadequacy here, and we feel this should be a high priority to address.

It would be very useful to have the option to change the time when the available status changes to offline after a certain time of inactivity or at least increase the time from 15 minutes to an hour or might as well keep the available status unless the user logged out of the app.

This will help users or admin even though they are on idle the RC app will still show online

This is also an issue for us. Status "Offline" with gray dot is also used as the status/indicator when a user actively sets their status to Invisible. There needs to be differentiation between actively going invisible and being idle.I agree with Dan, "Idle" should be a separate status and should show the status dot color as yellow.

This is the 3rd time this month all our users show offline but have previously shown available. No one can change their own status.

Some of our users are using laptops and do not have a secondary screen to keep the RC app open in. We are noticing that the app is going grey/invisible/idle - when in PowerPoint, Word or writing a long email.We want the app to not set a user to idle if they are still active on a computer but using some other application for an extended period of time.

i'm joinning my predecessor. A idle state, that is not grey (invisible), should be integrated to keep track of the users logged in.

Agreed. There should be a dedicated status to show "online but idle" users along with their idle time. Idle users should NOT automatically move to the "invisible" status because this is misleading especially when a user is online but goes idle...or is not logged in on any system/device. Need to show the following status...1) Invisible (Gray - not logged in anywhere or logged in but hidden from view). 2) Available (Green - self explanatory). 3) Idle - (Yellow - Online but left idle for xx minutes/hours). 4) DND (self-explanatory).
