New calendar features
IBM® Notes® 10 provide the following new features and enhancements for the calendar.
- Allow meeting attendees to invite others
A meeting chair can allow attendees to invite or propose other people to attend a meeting. This feature requires the IBM Notes 10 mail template (mail10.ntf). - Delegate calendar but not Contacts
You can delegate your calendar to someone while keeping your Contacts private. This feature requires the IBM Notes 10 mail template (mail10.ntf). - Apply Sender Colors to meetings
If you use the Sender Colors feature to assign colors to particular people you receive mail from, you can now apply those colors to the meetings chaired by these people, too. This feature requires the IBM Notes 10 mail template (mail10.ntf). - Add calendar categories and assign colors at the same time
You can add calendar categories right from the Category Colors preference tab. This feature requires the Notes 10 mail template (mail10.ntf). - Copy Into New - Calendar Entry copies online meeting details
When you select a meeting invitation in your mail and then select More > Copy Into New > Calendar Entry > Meeting, any online meeting details are now copied. - Improved calendar interoperability with Outlook
Meetings scheduled between IBM Notes and Microsoft Outlook work right out of the box. Administrators can still use the existing Mail > Client Settings tab in a Mail Settings policy to customize calendar interoperability settings. - Calendar overlay improvements
If you use an iCal-based calendar feed (iCalendar feed) in Notes and the calendar changes frequently, you can set the calendar content to refresh automatically. In addition, in this release, your administrator may push a Notes application calendar, Google Calendar, or iCalendar feed to your Notes client. - Team calendar
A team calendar enables everyone on a team to see the availability of team members and schedule meetings with team members. To use a team calendar, you create a mail file that is configured as a mail-in database.
