How to Post a Status Message from the Cloudica Desktop App
What Is a Status Message?
A Status Message is a quick way for remote users to share updates, progress, or context about their work. It helps:
- Communicate what you’re working on.
- Provide visibility to your manager or team.
- Record task updates during the day without needing a separate chat or email.
- Serve as quick documentation of daily activity.
These messages appear in the “What you have been doing today” section of the app and are visible on the web dashboard.
