## Policy Custom Status

This property page specifies the custom status list for all users (if this is the default policy) or for the users you select on the Used By property page of this policy.

After you change information on the Custom Status page of the Default Policy object, you must restart the Messenger agents in order to put the new default policy into effect throughout your Messenger system.

After you change information on the Custom Status page of any other Policy object, users must log out and back in to the Messenger client to see the results.

You can also create custom statuses at the User object level. Information on the User object overrides information on the Policy object.

Custom Status List
Click Add to create a new custom status. To edit a custom status, select the status, click Edit, then make changes. To remove a status, click the status, then click Remove.

Lock Button
If you click the lock button, the custom status list cannot be changed for the User object and users cannot modify their custom status lists in the Messenger client.
