Oranisations skills

in relation to organising emails, in order to be more organised in the work place, is there a way on outlook to send out of replies messages on specifics days of the week. for example I work part time and would like outlook to send our automatic messages on the days I am not in the office. for example I am not in the office wed, thrus, frid, is there a way for outlook to manage and send emails stating my absence in the office covering these days, without setting looks of out of office replies.
thanks you Flavio

RE: Oranisations skills

Hello Flavio,

Thank you for your question. You could create a new rule in Outlook to send Out of Office messages on certain days. First, type your Out of Office message in a new email, then save this email as a template.
Next, in the Home ribbon, select Rules, Create Rule, Advanced Options.
Select the options "Sent only to me" and "with specific words in the message header".
Further down, click on "specific words" and add Wed, Thu, Fri to the list.
Click "Next" and select "reply using a specific template".
Further down, click "specific template"
In the new window, click the drop-down next to "Standard Templates" and select "User Templates in File System".
Here, select the email you saved earlier and complete the Rules wizard.
This should hopefully send Out of Office replies to messages containing Wed, Thu or Fri in their headers.

I hope this helps

Kind regards
Marius Barnard
