1. Prompt user to confirm status in the web or mobile app each day;

Working From Status Settings

Administrators have the option to force all statuses to expire each evening at midnight. If this occurs, each user's status will be set to a predetermined default status as described above. This will not affect statuses that currently have an Expiry Date set until that date has occurred.

 A message can also be set that allows a user to communicate further information about their status. This message will appear underneath the user's status in their User Profile.
