Notes client
Use of the IBM® Notes® to connect to the service is optional. A IBM SmartCloud® Notes subscription entitles you to the Notes client license.
Users who access mail by using a Notes client can take advantage of the many collaboration features that are available through the client. As with the web client, the Notes client provides mail, calendar, and contacts, as well as to do and notebook applications. You can manage your Inbox using full-text search, delegation, mail filtering and sorting, conversation views, and flags.
The following features and applications are also available to
you when you use the Notes client.
- Activities - Beginning with Notes 8.5.2, if your organization has a collaboration subscription, then the sidebar is automatically configured to access Activities in the service without further authentication.
- IBM Sametime® - Use the embedded Sametime client to manage instant messaging contacts and initiate chats.
- RSS feeds - Subscribe to RSS feeds that display in the sidebar.
Keep the following in mind if your users will use the Notes client:
- SmartCloud Notes supports only the standard configuration of Notes, and not the basic configuration.
- You should decide which supported version of the client to use in your environment. See the SmartCloud Notes client requirements for information on supported versions.
