Feature 1: Highlight Out Of Office Users

If the Highlight OOO Users option is enabled, users can easily differentiate a user who is not in the office with the following changes:

Display Name

Out of office users will have their display name prepended Out Of Office.

Avatar

The user’s avatar will be swapped with the Out of Office Assistant logo when the user is out of the office.

It will be reset back to their original avatar automatically when the Out-of-Office period ends

You can refer to the configuration guide at How to enable highlight OOO user?

Feature 2: Improved validation when adding out of office rules

We added validation when adding rules that have an overlapping period so that we will no longer have duplication of rules

Feature 3: Status of Rules

You will now be able to track the state of every rule helping you to identify the currently active rules.
As part of the feature, we have decluttered the screen by hiding all past rules.
