WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration brings collaborative functionality to an Enterprise portal. The portlets allow you to work with information stored on a Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino server. This is the information that you typically access with a Microsoft Outlook or a Lotus Notes client. Similar to these clients, WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration enables you to read email, send messages, organize contacts, schedule appointments, add tasks and more.
WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration gives you access to the following functionality in Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino:
WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration sets a new standard for enterprise-level integration of Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks with BEA WebLogic Portal, and provides features and enhancements for three portal audiences:
The Groupware Portlets allow you to access your email, appointments, contacts and tasks in either a single portlet instance or from multiple portlet instances. Your Portal Administrator will determine how many portlets you will use.
Once you, or your Portal Administrator, have set up your Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino account in the portal, you can access all the features and personalize the portlets to meet your specific needs.
For more information, see Personalizing the Portlets on page 7-1.
In the single portlet instance, the first view you will see is the Home Summary view. From this screen you can get summary information for your calendar, tasks and mail messages. In this view the small "home" icon is highlighted at the bottom of the portlet.
You can scroll through the other portlets by clicking on the appropriate icon to the right of the home icon. There are six, one for home, mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and options. Each one is highlighted when you are in that view. To maximize any portlet and access the full array of features, click on any item inside the summary view of the portlet, or the appropriate arrow icon to the left of each view.
With multiple portlet instances, there will be summary and maximized views for Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks. You will be able to personalize each portlet from inside the maximized view.
There are home, or miniature, views of each portlet which provide overview information. You also have the option of including a Summary view which encapsulates recent information contained in your calendar, mail inbox and task list. From this view you can see a week's worth of appointments, how many unread messages are in your mail in-box and what tasks are due or over due.
Note: The amount or type of information contained in the home views can be personalized in the Options portlet. For more information, see Personalizing the Portlets on page 7-1.
Clicking on any of the links inside any home view will maximize that particular portlet and allow you to manage that piece of information.
