3 You and Your Contacts
3.1 About Users and Statuses
The Smart community consists of many users like you, from various business
groups and companies. Smart IM offers a simple way to stay in instant
contact with other community users.
At any time, each of the Smart community users has a certain Status. This
status indicates whether the user is currently logged into the Smart server
(See 2.2) and whether they are willing to communicate via Smart IM or not.
The following table details the possible user statuses, and the icons and
captions which denote these statuses:
