Gmail – Setting Up Out-of-Office Automatic Response

gmail

We use Gmail for official mail and we need to notify when someone is on vacation.

Where in the inbox settings do we set up an out-of-office, or vacation, responder that will send an email on our behalf during a specific time to incoming emails?
