Question

5

When assigning cases to other users in FogBugz, it would be good to know that a user is not in the office so you don't let cases sit around with them for weeks while they're tanning in the Bahamas.

Show "out of office" next to the user's name everywhere
Set them to be on vacation for EBS
Automatically change Workflow not to assign cases to them (optional)
Send an out of office response to incoming emails that get assigned to the user

	I would like to add one more feature to this. When Out of office is set, all emails get auto responded with an out of office message. We use fogbugz with out outside customers and they get very angry when no one responds – StarNet Jun 13 at 17:17

We have a case open to consider this feature for a future release. Please up-vote this question (not this answer) to show your support for adding this feature.

FYI, the workaround we use at Fog Creek is to update the user's name so that instead of "Adam Wishneusky" in the drop-down, you see "Adam Wishneusky (out till 4/5)"
