Out of Office auto replies to directed updates

When a user is out of office they should be able to set an auto reply to directed updates and in the reply be able to tag the user/team that is covering for them.

This function is needed urgently. Not being able to see when another user is ooo is one of the main complaints of our users. Adding "ooo" to the name does not cut it due to SSO. In one of our main processes, the proof owner will need to tag a lot of users and only see that someone is ooo after the feedback is overdue and the deadline has passed.


The best solution would be an easily accessible button on the profile page where the user just has to tick that they're ooo and select the start and end date of their absence.

Curious why this is marked as "not planned" while a similar post is "prioritized" here: https://one.workfront.com/s/idea/0874X000000sYOuQAM/detail


I'll add the same comment here for fun :slightly_smiling_face:


Just a week after the 22.3 release and our users are happy to see the new options for work delegation. However, they're still asking for some way to notify or call attention to users being out-of-office. As others have said, this is most critical in directed updates.


The current workaround is far less than ideal: after wondering why you haven't received a reply in Workfront, you switch applications and find an OOO reply. It's hard to explain why this is necessary, especially when we're highlighting the benefits of integrations with MS Outlook, SharePoint and Teams.
