Graphical Buttons

All icons in the groupware section of Open-Xchange Server 5 are introduced here.

Portal - A click on the portal icon returns you to the portal page (see chapter "Open-Xchange Server Portal").

calendar - A click on the calendar icon takes you directly to your appointment calendar. Existing appointments can be shown there in a day, week or month view. Existing appointments can also be changed there and you can make new entries (see chapter "Calendar").

addresses - A click on the contact icon takes you directly to your contact and company address book. There you find all existing global and private contacts and accompanying company addresses in form of a clear, alphabetically sorted table. Existing contacts and company addresses can be edited there and you can enter new contacts and company addresses (see section "Contact Management").

tasks - A click on the tasks icon takes you to the tasks assigned to you. All pertinent tasks are listed in a table with time stamps. New entries can easily be added. Existing tasks can easily be edited. Of course, you can also delegate tasks here (see chapter "Tasks").

projects - A click on the project icon takes you directly to a list of projects assigned to you. In the table display you can quickly access the contents of existing projects. Of course, projects can also be changed here and new ones can be entered (see chapter "Projects").

Documents - By clicking on the documents icon you reach the document section of the groupware. A simple file manager gives you access to all stored information. Of course, you can also add further documents here (see chapter "Documents").

Knowledge - A click on the knowledge icon takes you to the section where you make own contributions available to your colleagues or profit from the knowledge of others. The directory structure helps you order and catalog the knowledge entries. (see chapter "Knowledge").

Bookmarks - A click on the bookmark icon shows you the central bookmark directory. As in the favorite list known from your browser you see hierarchically organized links via which you can quickly access saved intranet and internet pages about different subjects. Compared with the favorite list of a browser, the groupware function has the advantage that important links can be inserted for all users at once or just some users. Of course, it is also possible at this point to paste new links or to modify existing entries (see chapter "Bookmarks").

Forums - Forums The forum icon leads you to the forum of Open-Xchange Server 5. The forum module allows you and your colleagues to have discussions in the intranet. Every discussion is divided into discussion threads. These threads make it very easy to follow discussions. In order for important responses be noticed in a timely fashion, you can subscribe to receive responses to contributions or even whole forums via email. Thanks to the permission management you can grant external business partners access specifically to the forums.

Pinboard - The pin board icon leads you to a system that allows you to put up notes for yourself or also for other users. A click on the pin board icon thus takes you not only to a list of all your own notes, but also allows you to add new notes or edit existing pin board notes. You can also always define whether a pin board note should also be shown on the portal page. The pin board system can also be used as a notification system in addition to email (see chapter "Pin board").

email - A click on the email icon takes you to your web mail account. There you have access to your incoming email messages and you can write emails yourself (see chapter "Emails").
