how do I show on my outlook calendar that I'm working from home?

[Guest]

I try to work from home one day a week and I want to find a way to illustrate
this on my public calendar so that I don't get scheduled into meetings that
require physical presence (e.g. meeting with a client, or interviewing
someone for a position). It seems that the only options I have are to mark
the day as "tentative" - but that doesn't quite communicate what I want to
communicate. Any suggestions?

Make a recurring all day meeting that says "Working from Home."

And then you can set the "Show time as" option to "Out of Office".
That way anyone who is checking your schedule can easily see the purple
color indicating that you are totally not available for meetings.
