Set up an out-of-office notification

You may set up your own out-of-office (OOO) notification from your 'My profile' page on Upchain Web. To learn more about OOO notifications refer to the Out-of-office Notifications: Getting Started article.

Follow these steps to set up your out-of-office notification:

1. In the main header of the Upchain web application, click the chevron next to your profile picture/initials and select My profile from the drop-down menu.

2. On the 'Profile' page, click Manage My Profile.

3. Scroll down to the 'Create out-of-office message' section.

4. For 'Message status', select Active.

   Note: All fields under 'Message status' are required.

5. To set your out-of-office timeframe, click the calendar icon to set the 'Start date' and 'End date'.

   Ensure that:

   • 'Start date' does not precede the current date.
   • 'Start date' precedes the 'End date'.

6. In the 'Message' field, create a message to display to users if they attempt to assign a task to you during your out-of-office timeframe. The message should not exceed 928 characters in length.

7. Click the + Add delegate button to assign your tasks to someone else during your out-of-office timeframe.

8. In the 'Add delegate' pop-up window, select your delegate's 'Project Role' from the drop-down options, then select your team member's name from the 'User' drop-down options.

9. Click OK.

   The delegate's name is displayed next to 'Delegate tasks to'.

   Note: You can only assign one person to be your delegate.

10. Click Save profile located at the top of the 'Profile' page.

After setting up the OOO notification and someone gives you an assignment that falls within your OOO timeframe, the assigner will see the OOO message that you composed. For other tasks that would be assigned to you automatically via workflows, these are automatically assigned to your chosen delegate.
