Outlook Scheduler

[neilmc]

Member of staff has asked if there is an easier way to schedule calendar requests in outlook.

 

Obviously there is the Schduling assistant in outlook, which lets you see everyones calendar, but what she is after is actually something I think would be quite useful and perhaps there is 3rd party software that does it.

 

So she wants to be able to say I need 1 hour of these peoples time, find me a slot when everyone is available in the next X number of weeks.

To me it sounds like a good tool to have to avoid having to scroll through peoples calendars. (Or waiting for responses to calendar requests)

 

Anyone heard of anything like this?

 

Thanks

That's available in Outlook (at least when connected to Exchange/Office 365).

 

Go to Scheduling Assistant. Here you can invite attendees and mark them as required or optional.

Then press 'room finder' and it will list the times where everyone is available.

or

right click on the timeline can click 'AutoPick' then All People and Resources. It will skip to the next available time.
