Lotus iNotes runs in a browser and includes several applications including Mail, Calendar, To Do, Contacts, Notebook, and Sametime instant messaging. During this course you will use all the applications, such as to send and reply to email using Mail. Because Sametime instant messaging is integrated with iNotes, you will also know when people are online so you can send instant messages in real time.
Calendar keeps track of your appointments and helps you schedule meetings that accommodate your co-workers’ schedules and coordinate the reservation of rooms and other resources so that everything is in place when the meeting starts.
You can record and track your To Do items, viewing them in a list or Gantt chart so you can more easily visualize your deadlines and progress over time.
Use Contacts to help manage your relationships, as well as to assist in email addressing.
Notebook provides a place to save information in a searchable collection of documents.
This course also shows you how to continue to use iNotes even while you are disconnected from the server and then synchronize changes when reconnected.
