Collaboration and Messaging portlets


Overview

Collaboration and Messaging portlets include Domino and Extended Products Portlets (which rely on Lotus Domino integration), portlets that integrate with products such as IBM Lotus Quickr and IBM Lotus Connections, and portlets that work with third-party software such as Microsoft Exchange. Examples of the Collaboration and Messaging portlets are deployed during installation of the portal. Other portlets are available from the Portal Catalog on the Web.


Locate the Collaboration and Messaging portlets

To access the portlets, click Applications in the product banner, and then click either Collaboration or Messaging. Next, click the subcategory that you want.

Setting up portlets that rely on Lotus Domino integration requires planning and confirming configuration of, as well as performing some additional configuration of, all required servers, collaborative software, and in some cases, portlet instances.


Other collaborative portlets

The People Finder portlet is available in the default installed portal from the People palette. To display the People palette, click the small arrow below the Search box at the top right corner of the page.

Users of the People Finder portlet have access to a searchable directory of people that can make employee interaction fast and easy, improving personal and organizational productivity. Users can find people in the directory, see their online status, and interact with them using instant messaging and other actions provided by person links. In addition to search features, People Finder provides views of each person's directory record and his or her place in the organizational context.
