ActiveX controls and Netscape plug-ins install DOLS and initiate offline services. Those changes were synchronized with the database on the server to account for newly received mail or appointment requests, for example. Fuzzy searches, the second option, allow for misspellings. Either search requires a full-text index to the database. Note that this must be done by an administrator, and it can take up to approximately 20 percent of the database size.
Clients can schedule a meeting and create a new appointment, anniversary, reminder or event.
As with Novell GroupWise 5.5e WebAccess, the iNotes calendar tracks to-do items or tasks. You can send invitations from your personal address book or the domain address book, using the scheduler to check invitees' calendars for conflicts and identify a convenient date and time. As in WebAccess, iNotes users can also schedule rooms or resources for events. This must be done outside the browser, limiting iNotes' ability to share calendar functions among Web clients without Notes on the desktop. Sending the memo notifies invitees, who can easily view other invitees as well as see recurring dates and times.
