Collanos Workplace User Forum

Hello,

I downloaded Collanos Desktop recently. After having installed it, I found many of the features really great.

There are two things, however, that I miss greatly:
1. a shared calendar, and;
2. a shared address book

For an entrprise-class, collaborative software (as stated in the Collanos Blog), I think these are musts.

The calendar should have the following, but not exclusive, features:
a. private and public appointments/events;
b. members of a group should be able to invite other members to an appointment/event;
c. the latter should have the ability to accept, put on hold or refuse mentioned appointment/event and give a reason for the hold or refusal. The possibility to put comments would be a plus;
d. link with the address book and other modules.

The address book should have the following, but not exclusive, features:
a. private and public entries;
b. groups;
c. link with the calendar and other modules.

There are resemblances between Collanos Desktop and CodeX. However, each has features that the other does not have. For what I noticed, a graceful coexistence between the 2 software is hard to realise unless one of the 2 is only used for one feature (e.g. Collanos desktop for everything and CodeX for its calendar abilities).

Hope that what I wrote is more or less in line with the company's objectives.

The other needed features, but already mentioned in other threads:
- possibillity to work on intranet/LAN;
- log on/off feature.

Keep up the good work.

Best regards.

Great feedback!
We always appreciate detailed information and this is being shared with our entire team.
Will look into CodeX.
Log-on/off coming up in about two weeks.

I would go as far as to say that to get our team to use Collanos, shared Calendar and Addressbook is essential.
Calendar must be in iCal format for easy import/exchange
Addressbook should support WebDAV.

My team and I are using Collanos for about 3 month, already. We are highly satisfied but desperately missing the features mentioned above.
- Adressbook,
- Calender (iCal - format would be great!)

thanks for your great work
