CodeTwo
- CodeTwo NetCalendars is part of the larger project called CodeTwo Public Folders – says Michał Bednarz, the owner of CodeTwo. – The latter enables sharing more data directly in Outlook such as mail folders, contacts, Office documents as well as appointments and tasks with other users in a company or home network. Once the users of CodeTwo NetCalendars learn the benefits of the application, they will surely be eager to test the capabilities of its more advanced counterpart.
CodeTwo NetCalendars enables multiple users to work on the same calendars located on different workstations in the local network – within one office- or in the Internet, between several branches of the same company spread across the country. Depending on the set rights of access, the virtual shared calendar can be viewed by only selected employees, teams, one or several departments, or even the whole company. The changes introduced to calendar by one user are propagated in realtime for all other users using the application.
- NetCalendars is a useful tool for organizing the work of a department– says Michał Bednarz. – The application may be used by employees to store appointments and meetings, company events, as well as for managers to assign tasks, estimate billable hours, or book resources.
Users can tag the appointments with categories that have different colors to make them more distinct and noticeable. A glance is enough to single out the most urgent tasks and assess how much time it will take to complete them. The additional entries that can be added to the appointment include a short description, start and end date, as well as the name of a person responsible for a given event. A feature that is highly valued by users of CodeTwo NetCalendars is the reminder for upcoming events. At the time defined by the users a pop up window appears informing the person that a meeting, appointment or task is becoming due.
The program developed by CodeTwo is compatible with the calendar feature available in Microsoft Office Outlook. Each change made directly in the Outlook calendar is immediately and automatically copied to the shared calendar using CodeTwo NetCalendars. This is a time-saving feature as the employees do not need to clone the appointments between various calendars. Importantly, you do not need Exchange to connect CodeTwo NetCalendars with Microsoft Outlook.
- Outlook alone enables keeping a personal calendar only. It will not let users share data between multiple machines in the company. – says Michał Bednarz. – Only by installing a costly Exchange Server can data be shared. None of the standard Office suites though will enable viewing the calendars of multiple users in one screen or printing several calendars. CodeTwo NetCalendars helps cope with this problem.
