🖥️ Applies To

• Web-based Outlook

⚙️ Steps for set-up 

In Outlook:

• Set your location for each day
• Check box "Show work location on my calendar"
• Set “Share your location” to “Can view all details”

Note: 

If “Office” isn’t an entry on the location drop down, you can type it manually.

🎯 Result - we are able to see who is in office on any given day

Calendar view: shows "who is in office today" at a glance

Add the Places app: see who is in-office on any given day
