DURATION
1 day
These materials are for an instructor-led course or self-reference manual, during which users can learn how to use the core applications included in Lotus Notes 8, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts, To Do, and Personal Journal. The materials cover how to perform the most common tasks in both the Standard and Basic configurations.
The application used most in the course is Mail, as it is a key personal and business application. Students will learn how to use the Calendar to organize their time and how to track their tasks in the To Do application. They will keep track of people in Contacts and keep information in their Personal Journal. As they use the core Notes applications, they will recognize a common pattern that builds their competence and confidence in using almost any Notes application such as a discussion, which they will join at the end of the course. Because Notes incorporates Sametime instant messaging, they will learn the "best practices" of how to use Notes to become a more effective communicator and collaborator.
