Does anyone know of a good discussion on setting up something within Outlook
to assist in generating a "standard" out of the office type email?
Basically, staff have been using a web app that asked for name, beginning
and ending date, one of a dozen reasons for out of office (for time reporting
purposes), identifying a backup, an optional comment, etc. and then the web
app would insert an appointment in an old non-Outlook based calendar, and it
would send out emails to the appropriate manager, backup, co-workers, etc. to
let them know the person would be out.
The tech behind that web app is going away, and so something similar is
desired. It seems like outlook has some of the capability, but it would be
nice if there were some sort of form that could be used so that the
appointments, who gets an email, etc. could be provided as a default.
I am just a novice outlook user, so perhaps there's something out there that
people use a lot, or perhaps there is a simple way to develop something like
this?
Thank you for any thoughts you might have.
