Purpose
Until now, with SAP Business workplace it was possible for the users to maintain the private office settings using menu path Settings-> Office settings or by executing the transaction code SO13 directly.
However when users migrated to CRM work-list they realized that it's no longer possible to maintain Automatic forwarding and Automatic replies which was possible while they used SAP Business workplace ( GUI). Failure to maintain these, the users would never realize that there was an email sent to their SAP Inbox and hence would miss out on potential important piece of information as it is not longer possible to view the SAP Inbox within CRM work-list.
This blog helps in configuring the CRM work-list in such a way that it would be possible for the users to maintain the private office settings even from the UI work-list.
Abstract
The CRM 7.0 Work-list is not an exact replica of SAP Business Workplace. CRM Work-list doesn't have all the functionality that SAP Business Workplace had.
This blog gives a concrete solution to address one of the limitations that CRM work-list has viz. inability to maintain private office settings from the UI work-list.
