New entries are easy to create by clicking on the calendar, although the entry screen is a little cramped. Alerts can be set, but unlike most PIMs, Organizer sets the date the alarm will occur, rather than a specified period before the event. However, one advantage to this method is that reminders can be scheduled after an event occurs, notifying an attorney to follow up on it. Organizer is a workgroup-enabled application and others can view your calendar. You can schedule group appointments by searching for free time.
Organizer can also track to-do items.
When you click on the folder tab for To-Do's, the display changes to a clean sheet with tabs for Overdue, Current, Future and Completed tasks. Like calendar items, any task can be marked as confidential. Lotus Organizer 97 is a simple yet effective PIM for all your information. Bundled with Lotus SmartSuite, this product may not be a good value alone. Lotus Organizer is a nifty little PIM worth considering.
