IBM® Lotus® iNotes™ 8.5 software combines with IBM Lotus® Domino® software to help improve user efficiency through intelligent e-mail, calendaring and contact management-all within a modern, easy to use client interface.
Lotus iNotes software helps users quickly and easily read and compose email through a zero maintenance web client. Mail sent in error can be recalled - even if its recipients have already read it.
Email can be flagged by its relative importance; follow up dates can be set for when a reply is needed or an action is to be completed by, and alarms can be set to remind the recipient of an impending follow up.
A type-ahead feature matches user input with their most recent contacts for fast addressing.
Calendar and scheduling
Bring people and resources together through Lotus iNotes calendaring tools.
See a daily, weekly, or monthly view of calendars, and see a day-at-a-glance view through the always-available sidebar. Elect to also display rescheduled and unprocessed meeting invitations, as well as those confirmed, on the calendar.
Quickly schedule meetings, appointments, and reminders across multiple time zones. Invite required and optional attendees, and secure meeting resources such as a conference room and audio/visual equipment, all within a single invitation.
Personal contacts and collaborations
Contact information within Lotus iNotes software helps users keep their network of colleagues close at hand, and enables them to quickly find people with key job responsibilities.
Maintain a variety of personal and professional data for a contact, including a photograph, and organize them in related groups and categories. Display a simplified view of a contact with just those fields where data is entered.
Access contacts through sorted lists. Use contacts to address email and meeting invitations, and chat via integrated instant messaging.
Out of office
When users are away from the office, they can direct Lotus iNotes software to alert senders of incoming email and meeting invitations that they are unavailable. Information such as the date and time of return, as well as custom instructions such as alternate contact information or the name of a backup colleague, can be conveyed so that workflow execution can continue.
Note: Selected features described above are available only in the Lotus iNotes 'full' mode.
