Outlook calendar entries should include travel time option

D

Dan Foody

For sales and partner activity, many meetings require travel offsite. Travel
takes time, but doesn't mean you can't be doing other things at the same time
(e.g. phone calls), unlike for the rest of the meeting.

How do you enter travel time on your calendar today? Either you include it
in the meeting itself (which means you lose the actual times for the meeting,
and that you list travel time as "unavailable" instead of just "out of the
office") or you don't put the travel time on your schedule, and you end up
with double bookings.

Manually putting a "travel time" calendar invite around the actual meeting
invite is a pain -- but it's the only way to get it "right" today. Any way
to make this a standard part of regular meeting invites?
