What is User Status?
User Status indicates whether a user is available or unavailable on the dialer for any reason, such as "On Lunch," "In a Meeting," or "Out of Office." This feature enhances team communication by clearly displaying availability, leading to more efficient workflow management.

- Remote Work Management – Use statuses like "Working Remotely" or "Out of Office" for better coordination.
- Shift-Based Workforces – Indicate status changes for employees working in different time zones.
