Was ist neu?
New features and enhancements in Notes/Domino 6.5
Notes Client
Calendaring and Scheduling
Drag-and-drop mail/calendar entry creation
In Notes 6.5, users can create new Mail, Calendar, and To Do documents by dragging a mail document and dropping it on the appropriate bookmark. Calendar and To Do entries can also be dragged and dropped. For example, a calendar entry for a meeting with a long description can be dragged onto the Mail bookmark to create a new memo that contains all the meeting information. Similarly, a To Do item can be dragged onto the Calendar bookmark to create a new appointment.
Reset times on some or all instances of a repeating meeting
In Notes 6.5, users can now reschedule repeating meetings with greater granularity. A Chair now has the ability to reschedule a set of meetings to an absolute time.
Mail
Ability to set Notes as default e-mail client (Win2000/XP)
The Notes 6.5 client takes advantage of a new UI component under "Add/Remove" programs that Microsoft provides in the Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and XP platforms, to allow users to select Notes as the default e-mail client.
Added time to Inbox date column
Users can now see the time as well as the date in the mail Inbox view.
Option to not include distribution lists when printing
When printing memos or Calendar entries, users can now specify whether to print the contents of the entire "To:" or "cc:" fields, or limit it to three lines. This feature is also available to users as a roaming preference.
Views
Support for view export to CSV format
Users now have the option to export Notes view data in CSV format. The Comma Separated Value (CSV) format is a simple ASCII text file with one record per line whose fields are separated by commas. The documents in the view will appear as individual records in the CSV file.
