The employees of the Administrative Directorate are required to enter business-relevant appointments in their personal Outlook calendars of the University and to openly present absences by means of the predefined markings by displaying them for all employees without an appointment designation. For this purpose, the appointment can be entered via the menu selection, Create new appointment. By clicking with the right mouse button the appointment can be categorized. Private appointments can be locked for viewing via the right mouse button - private appointment-. Due to the encryption it is not possible to read the appointment.
Absences can also be stored for longer periods of time in the same way. To do this, select a whole-day absence in the appointment entry and then set the "Display as" feature to absent in the menu bar. Then this is taken over for the whole period in the calendar.
This is necessary so that interdepartmental appointment coordination can be carried out efficiently and easily. When appointments are made, the administrative management staff actively create outlook invitations as a special service, as these are automatically transferred to the calendar of the appointment participants.
Furthermore, the delegate must be given authorization to enter appointments in the calendar. This can be set up via File - Account settings - Access rights for deputies.

b) You know the terms of use of the University of Basel.

The administrative management guarantees its customers a response to mails on working days within 48 hours, provided that the requested person is present. If the request cannot be fully clarified within this period, the customer must be informed of the current status of the clarification in a brief response.
Forwarding chains of mails are to be avoided. It is important to first determine the correct contact person internally and, if necessary, to discuss the solution with him in advance before informing the customer about the result or referring him to the responsible office.
When answering external calls, please mention "University of Basel, the department and the name", so that the caller can be assigned exactly to the person he/she is talking to. Internally, it is sufficient to state the department and the name.
During absences from the workplace, the telephone of superiors is generally to be diverted to the deputy or the secretariat. Employees without management responsibility can either divert the telephone to a deputy or create a recorded message that reads as follows:
University of Basel, Department XXXX, first and last name.I am not at my desk at the moment. In urgent cases, you are welcome to contact my deputy XXXX at +41 (0)61 207 XX XX, or leave me a mail at Vorname.Nachname@unibas.ch, and I will be happy to get back to you upon my return.Thank you and kind regards.
For short-term absences, it is sufficient to return unanswered calls upon return. If the employee is temporarily working at another location, reachability should be set up via the "Cisco Jabber" web app or via call forwarding to the private telephone.
