+Automated User Status
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When you have a calendar event scheduled that has a "BUSY" status, your user status will be automatically set to "In a meeting" unless you have set yourself to "Do Not Disturb" or "Invisible".
+You can overwrite the status with a custom message any time, or set your calendar events to "FREE".
+Calendars that are transparent will be ignored.
