RECEPTION TEAM STATUS

Everyone’s availability. One calm view.

FOR RECEPTIONISTS & DISTRIBUTED TEAMS

One clear answer before someone interrupts.

Presence combines only the availability connections you approve into one simple, privacy-safe status. The people around you see whether now is a good time—not the private details behind the answer.

01

The whole organization at a glance

See participating people grouped by department, with a current status, optional broad workplace, and expected availability.

02

Personal wording, shared consistently

A member’s active custom status appears with the same name, message, and color in Reception and Group Views, while its core behavior continues to control whether Digital Knock is appropriate.

03

Times translated for the viewer

A receptionist in Texas sees a New York coworker’s return time in Texas time. Each viewer sees the same moment in their own device timezone.

04

Groups without becoming HR software

Create focused views for Marketing, Video, Leadership, or any cross-functional group while keeping the system lightweight.

05

Employee-controlled and privacy-safe

Members choose whether they appear, control their connections, and share broad place names—not addresses, coordinates, or calendar content.

SET IT UP ONCE

Presence works quietly in the background.

  1. 1Create an organization

    The owner creates the organization and optional Groups from the Presence dashboard.

  2. 2Invite participating coworkers

    Branded email invitations explain what colleagues can and cannot see before anyone joins.

  3. 3Open Reception or Group View

    The private board refreshes automatically and converts availability times for the person viewing it.

PRIVACY FIRST

Availability is shared. Calendar details are not.

Meeting titles, attendees, call participants, precise coordinates, chat, recordings, audio, and video stay out of shared views. Every user controls their own connections and links.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What people want to know.

Does this monitor employee productivity?

No. Presence is an interruption-reduction tool, not a time clock or productivity tracker. It shows a current availability signal and intentionally avoids detailed activity history.

Can people belong to more than one Group?

Yes. A person can appear in multiple cross-functional Groups, and a Group Lead can be identified without building an HR hierarchy.

How do timezones work in Reception View?

Availability is stored as an exact moment and displayed in the receptionist’s current device timezone. The board labels return times as your time to prevent confusion.
