Calendar Functionality

May 18, 2010By Mike Pascucci Comments

 

Just as important as integrating Social applications within your website is the importance of having a central location where the information lives. You can highlight an ‘All-Hands” company meeting on the home page, and display the day, but what about other meetings? If you have your own group, wouldn’t it be nice to have your own calendar? What about mashing up calendars? Wouldn’t you like to see other meetings that you may have before you schedule a new one, mashing more than one into a holistic view? All that is available in our new eIntranet Solution, not to mention the ability to add the meeting into your Outlook calendar.

Note: while this is highlighting an “Intranet Solution”, you can also leverage the calendaring functionality for your “External” Social community as well.

As you can see, the calendar is very simple to read and easy to navigate. On the left side navigation displays company-specific information that we would like to highlight within this area: News, Messages, Announcements, Blog Calendar and Photo Gallery – all designated by their own icon which makes them easy to distinguish.

Across the top you can navigate to other months and days, or display a week’s worth of meetings with a simple click of the button.

Within the calendar I have highlighted a specific event, the “All-Hands” meeting. By hovering over the event, you can review specific details of that event. You can designate specific events by highlighting them with colors as well. By clicking on the “download” link, you can automatically add the event into your Outlook calendar. By clicking on the “more” link, you can go directly to the event listing page and view more information about that event.

Calendaring functionality is a natural extension of an intranet, external community and group space. We understand the importance of this inclusion which is why we have made specific enhancements to the functionality. Interested? Please let us know if you are interested in a demo, http://bit.ly/biDiEM
