When posting a Telework day on the Outlook Calendar, the ‘show time as’ box
is used to designate availability. We suggest a ‘Telework’ box be added to
the list.

The current choices are limited to: Free, Tentative, Busy, Out of Office.

Telework is being strongly encoouraged in the government.  For our telework
and virtual office cultures, we don’t want people on telework to be labeled
as “Out of Office” and yet we want to provide information to know that they
are not available at their desks or in the building.  While they could use
"Free," it would be advantageous to have a ‘Telework’ box added to the list.  
For example, if a person scheduling a meeting is aware of who and how many
people are Teleworking that day, the scheduler can make the necessary
arrangements to provide a conference call bridge for Teleworkers to call in.

Unfortunately, the solution is not technically feasible locally as
configuration limitations in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft policies
apparently do not permit the customer to modify the list of selections.
