- [Narrator] In the new Outlook,
you can set your work location in the office
or remote either on a day-to-day basis or using a schedule.
And if you wish,
you can share that information with your colleagues.
Let's see how this works.
Simply go into any
of the calendar views, day, workweek, month, and so on
and click the bubble that appears on any particular day.
Now, the times that you were available,
those are based on what you have said in Outlook.
If you haven't changed it, this is actually the default.
And if I'm going to be
in the office this day, I can simply choose office.
But if I want to set a schedule, I choose set a schedule
and this allows me to set a schedule that is day based.
So perhaps on Mondays I'm working
from home or remote, but I'm in the office
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
On Fridays, I work part of the day
at home and part of the day at the office.
So I'll set 9:00 AM to noon
as my office hours
then click the plus button to indicate
that from 12:30 until 4:00 PM I'm working remotely.
Now I'm going to scroll back up to the top to show you
that if I turn off show work location on my calendar
I won't see what I've set
but my colleagues will still be able to see it.
So if those icons in the calendar bother you just turn this
off and you won't see them.
But they're still available to everyone else.
I'm going to leave them turned on and choose Save.
And now that I have set a schedule,
that schedule will be available
throughout Microsoft Outlook.
And although it does not appear right away,
it will eventually appear in my calendar.
