How to change working days and time in the Outlook calendar
Outlook
2016
The standard Outlook work weekdays are Monday-Friday, and work hours are 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
The Scheduling Assistant uses this information to show your availability when someone
want to schedule a meeting with you. Skype for Business can forward your phone calls
to an alternate phone using this information.
To change your working days and working times in Outlook, do the following:
1. On the File tab, click the Options button:
2. In the Outlook Options dialog box, on the Calendar tab, under Work time:
- Modify Work hours
- Select workdays by checking of days
- Choose First day of week and, if it needed, First week of year
For example:
To verify the new settings, create a meeting request, and click the Scheduling Assistant. It will show the updated work hours and display Monday as a non-working day for you. However, only Exchange users get the full benefits of work time settings because it allows other users to check this information in the Scheduling Assistant.
