The biggest issue with being marked "away" for both 1 and 2 is this scenario:
- Have push notifications set up for mobile. Ensure they are only sent when in the "away" status.
- Be on the desktop app and get a message that would produce a notification.
- No mobile notification.
- Switch to another window.
- Get a message that would produce a notification.
- Popup on the desktop and mobile notification.
When I'm at my desktop, I don't need my phone buzzing every time I get a message. I get the notifications on my desktop. If there are people who want their phone to buzz while they are sitting at their desktop and getting notifications on their desktop, then an option to allow that (away vs idle) can be added.
