Take a Guilt-Free Vacation with Out of Office (Generally Available)
Taking a vacation or other leave? Want everyone to know when they
should leave you alone? The newly enhanced Out of Office feature is for you. You can set the
dates you're away and add a custom message. Your message and dates display prominently next to
your name in Chatter, not just on your profile but almost anywhere that your name appears. This change applies to Lightning Experience only.
By default, the Out of Office message is “Out of Office” along with the start and end dates that you select. You can change it to something more fun, such as “At the Beach” or “Playing with Dolphins.”
