Buddy List
A Buddy List is a contact list with presence information incorporated. The OBi supports Buddy Lists based on the
XMPP
standard
and
currently
provides
options
for
Gmail
and
BroadSoft
Buddy
Lists.
You
and
your
buddies
must
be
using
the
same
XMPP
service
(such
as
Gmail)
in
order
to
see
each
other.
Each
entry
in
the
buddy
list
consists
of
the
following
information:
•
JID (Jabber ID): Every user of an XMPP service is identified with a unique User ID called Jabber ID for
historical reason. It is in the form of an email address such as: [email protected]
•
Display Name (optional): The display name of the user, such as: Benjamin B. King
•
Phone Number (optional): This may be a public number or an internal extension if the XMPP service is an
internal service deployed within an enterprise for example
•
Status (optional): An arbitrary text string usually entered by the user to provide further details of their
current state. For example: On a break, back at 1PM
•
Presence, which may take one of the following values:
