Simple and Convenient OUTLOOK INTEGRATION
Out’n About! for Outlook replaces the old fashioned, magnetic in/out status boards commonly used in organizations. Google G suite and Office 365 compatible.
Main Screen Features
Your employees can connect to Out’n About! for Outlook via Microsoft Outlook.
A small Outlook addin adds all the Out’n About! In/Out Status Board features directly into the Outlook interface so you can continue to manage all of your information using a common interface.
Department Panel
Organize your workforce into easy to use departments.
The Out’n About! Department Panel allows users to quickly select different departments for viewing. The panel also contains a filter dialog which allows users to filter users by different search criteria.
Status Message Updating
Employees can perform a status message update when they leave the desk for any reason, such as lunch or a meeting.
There’s no guesswork to return times – employees input their exact return information in the status message area upon leaving their desk. This feature can also be used to indicate when you are in the office but are not available or do not want to be disturbed.

Easily use your mobile phone or remote computer to manage your Out’n About! status and view the status board. Just fill out the subject line and send the email to your Out’n About email. We’ll take care of the rest automatically. Requires Outlook to be running on the user’s machine.
Presence Sensing!
Works on even your most forgetful of employees
Out’n About! for Outlook contains a presence sensing feature that automatically alerts you when you use your computer and are currently Checked Out to ensure you have not forgotten to check In when returning to the office.
Mobile SMS Reminders™
The Outlook Reminder and Out’n About! Check IN Alert windows are useless if you are not sitting in front of your computer.

When the appointment occurs, Out’n About! will automatically change your status based on the settings you define.
