• Messaging: Send and receive mail messages, phone messages, and reminder notes. A mail message is for general correspondence. A phone message is designed for those who take phone messages for others. A reminder note includes a start date and, when accepted by the recipient, is posted to the recipient's Calendar.
• Scheduling: Schedule both appointments and tasks. When you schedule an appointment, you can search other users Calendars to find free times for the appointment. When you schedule a task, you can assign a priority and due date to the task. If the recipient accepts an appointment or task, it is automatically added to his or her Calendar.
• Calendaring: View and manage your appointments, tasks, and reminder notes in a Calendar view. You can create multiple calendars. You can also publish personal calendars and free/busy status so that non-GroupWise users can conveniently schedule meetings with you.
• Task Management: Accept or decline the tasks you are sent, and track accepted tasks through to completion. You can turn any message into a task. You can also organize, schedule, and monitor tasks in your Tasklist folder.
• Contact Management: Manage information for your contacts, groups, resources, and organizations, including being able to view, update, delete, and add information to the contacts in your address books and Contacts folders. In addition, you can view a history of messages sent to and received from individual contacts and compile notes on interactions with contacts.
• Document Management: Store documents in GroupWise libraries. In a library, documents are compressed to save disk space and encrypted to maintain security. With document management, you can check in, check out, share, and version documents.
• Instant Messaging: Using Novell Messenger, communicate in real time with other GroupWise users. Novell Messenger lets you know when other users are online, busy, or away from their desks. It also allows you to save conversations.
• Teaming: Using Novell Vibe OnPrem, collaborate on a teaming Web site where personal, team, and global workspaces can include discussion folders, shared calendars, shared documents, blogs, wikis, surveys, and more. Powerful search capabilities make finding information quick and easy.
• Conferencing: Using Novell Conferencing, conduct telephone conferences with the convenience of communities, contacts, and buddies for conference calls; phone presence and participation indicators; meeting setup; instant chat; whiteboarding; desktop sharing; and more.
