Domains4Less, Outlook.com Custom Domain and CNAME Records

Looking for some assistanceBack when Microsoft were offering the ability to have custom domains hosted on Outlook.com (for free), I finally decided to purchase a domain name from Domains4Less.co.nz and managed to configure enough in the domain settings so that my email was delivered to Outlook.com (website) as well as my Outlook 2016.

Today Microsoft have emailed saying as part of changes made earlier in the year, I need to reconnect my Outlook 2016 to continue to receive my emailURL: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Reconnect-Outlook-2016-or-Outlook-2013-to-Outlook-com-for-uninterrupted-email-access-cda1751d-9503-40bf-bf76-e79454ac5eb3?ui=en-US&rs=en-NZ&ad=NZ

Further down the page it mentions that in order to connect a custom domain to Outlook, I need to add a CNAME record to my domain to point to autodiscover.microsoft.com and points to a Microsoft website that references GoDaddy for help.

When I log into Domains4Less and navigate to adding a CNAME record, I have two boxes Prefix:Destination Address:

I have no idea what to put as the prefix and am very confused what I need to do.Assuming the destination address is autodiscover.microsoft.com

Has anyone recently gone through this and know what I do?
