Any way to display daily location for nomads?

I work in two different office sites. Does outlook provide any functionality
that shows potential "meeting-ees" (people I might have meetings with) where
I am/will be on any given day? For example, MWF in Loc1, TW in Loc2, and so
on?
it would be nice to have that programmed in a week or two in advance.

No, not automatically. You'd need to make an appointment or all day event
and say where you'll be.

thanks for the responses - but...with enterprise outlook people can only see
that time is reserved; they can't see why it's reserved. So doing an all day
appointment just makes it look like I'm booked all day.

Any other suggestions?

Set it to be tentative and put the location in the subject field - it should
show the subject in the free/busy info as long as its not marked private.
It's the only way I know of to mark the dates you'll be in different
locations.

location does not show in Free/Busy whether it is marked private or not.

I am also interested in this answer.

don't use the location field - use the subject field. IE: enter EastSide
Office as the subject.
