The release of Notes 8.5 is around the corner and I like how the client it's taking shape. About 3 months ago, I blogged about the new capability of taking Lotus Connections Activities offline. And, if you are a Linux/Mac user you can also get this functionality by doing this hack that I blogged about.
Ted Stanton, our new Americas Sales Advocate for Lotus Connections, blogged last week week about some nice features added to Notes 8.5 public beta 2 to further integrate the mail client with Lotus Connections. These are:
- Get someone's person card when viewing an Activity's membership list
- Tracking your Activities/To-Do's in your Notes Calendar (This is HUGE!! Almost all customers are asking for this)
- Search Profiles from Notes
- Search Activities from Notes
- Search Blogs from Notes
- Search Communities from Notes
- Search Dogear from Notes
- Dogear (tag/bookmark) Notes documents/views/databases
