Outlook Calendar Invites: Out of the Office & Work from Home

Circulated: November 25, 2019

• Include your name in the subject (i.e. ‘Cassandra — OOTO’ or ‘Danny — WFH’).

• Set ‘Show As’ to ‘Free’ to avoid blocking out other people’s calendars.

• Remove reminder notifications.

• Uncheck ‘Request Responses’ under ‘Response Options’.

• To avoid cluttering your coworker’s calendars, set your OOTO/WFH as ‘all day’ even if you’re taking a partial day.

• Be mindful to share your event with all coworkers who are impacted.

• For OOTO, create a separate event to block out your own calendar as ‘out of the office’.
