Oracle Works Hours Option into Zimbra

[poetphd]

As we are in the process of shifting from Oracle to Zimbra, I have encountered a particularly annoying preferences problem. In Oracle, I can set my work hours for each day (for most academics work hours vary given the day), but I can't find a way to do this in Zimbra. In Oracle you simply defined the work hours for each day, and all hours outside of these were "grayed out" so other users knew not to schedule you for meetings during those times. Also, this helped people know what your schedule was, if you were working flexible hours. Any help with this will be appreciated. Thanks!

As a workaround people could set recurring appointments during non-work hours so it would show they were unavailable. For instance, I don't want to show I'm available before 10am each Wednesday, so I would set up a recurring appointment to show as busy form midnight-10am and recur on Wednesdays. They would have to do this for days and one in the am and one in the pm, but it would work.

We also use appointments to block our non-work hours. Using a calendar created just for this purpose allows you to exclude those from your own view. Just select the option to include that calendar in your free/busy time.

You should definitely vote on RFE linked above and you may want to comment and add your request that it should be customizable for each day.
