**Feature available from June 26, 2024**

 

You can set yourself an out-of-office message. With the message, you can tell others about your absence and give action instructions, for example, regarding substitute arrangements.

**TIP!** The user interface language has no impact on the content of the displayed message, so we recommend writing the texts in the message field in several languages, when there is a need for this.&#x20;

The internal message is only visible to users of your own organisation and its group companies. The external message is visible to users outside your organisation.

Your absence message is displayed to other users in the service interface when you are being added as a signatory or other recipient with a signature request.
