Oracle Collaboration Suite Quick Tutorial

To access Bob's e-mail from his browser, Bob will use the Oracle Web Client. Bob opens his browser and executes the URL given to him by his administrator.

Bob types his user name and password and clicks Log In. Since Oracle Collaboration Suite is Single Sign-On enabled, Bob can access any of the Oracle Collaboration Suite components without logging in again.

Preferences enable you to configure the Oracle Web Client to fit your personal work style. You can configure the following preferences:

Account Preferences: You can check your message quota, enable or disable external access, change your password, set folder preferences and create a filter (also called rules) to manage your messages.

E-mail Preferences: When creating a message, you can set preferences to change the From name, forward messages, quote an original message in a reply, use auto reply messages and create and add a signature to the end of each message you send. In addition, you can set the number of messages to display and show the message header.

Voice Mail/FAX Preferences: You can set the greeting to activate, select your preferred language for the voice prompts, change your voice mail password and select a voice mail text name to be displayed instead of your telephone number to recipients of your voice mail messages.

From his browser, Bob is able to access his e-mail, calendar and schedule meetings via the Oracle Web Client by clicking on the appropriate tab.

Preferences allow Bob to configure his Oracle Web Client to fit his personal work style. For example, he can change his password, check his mail quota and allow for external access so he can get his e-mail from his home computer.
