# Sending IM from the Work Log window

## Prerequisites

- The IM contact must be present in your contact list.

- The IM contact must be logged on to Presence Services.

1. Click Work Log icon on the Action bar.

   The Work Log window appears below the Action bar.

2. Select the appropriate work log using the Show and View lists.
3. Click the Click to IM icon against the recipient's name.

   A new IM window appears.

4. Type your message in the IM text box on the IM window, and click Send.
