Microsoft Outlook calendar integration enhancement

A new custom label has been added, enabling administrators to change the subject line for Outlook calendar invites sent as part of Outlook integration for time off. Sage People integrates with Microsoft Outlook calendar to add absences booked in Sage People. Calendar events for the period of booked absences are automatically sent to the team member and manager, with the default subject line "[Team_Member_Name] Out of Office".

From release Y23.4, the subject line for calendar invites can be changed by adding an override for the custom label Calendar_Event_Subject in Setup > User Interface > Custom Labels.
