 Feature Guide - IQ-Calendar
Solution

The IQ-Calendar enables an organization to provide its users with a calendaring / scheduling mechanism. IQ-Cal allows users to define tasks, events and conferences. Email / QuickMsg based alerts will act as reminders to the users' task, events and conferences. The IQ-Cal enables users to access their calendar from anywhere on the network by simply accessing the IQuinox computer using a web browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. IQ-Cal provides a centralized storage of the users' calendars and also enables sharing of users' calendars as per their preferences.

The features provided within IQ-Cal include:

Calendar Viewing
IQ-Cal provides an easy and user-friendly way to view your activities. IQ-Cal provides a monthly, weekly as well a daily view. Navigation from one day to other or changing of the view is a simple one click operation. In addition to this search and filter facilities provided makes it easy to locate an activity.

User Specific Activity (Task / Date-Reminders / Events)
IQ-Cal allows users to set activities like Tasks - a To-Do, Date-Reminder - a repetitive To-Do (Weekly, Monthly, Annual), Events - an activity on a specific date & time (or for a time range). Reminders can be set for all mentioned activities. Reminder alerts will be generated prior to the events as per the specified time. If the alert time is missed (because of system being down or stopped), alerts will still be generated (on the next start-up).

Collaborative Activity (Conferences / Invitations)
IQ-Cal allows users to set activities like conferences. Conference, is a "common / shares event for multiple users". A user (Initiator) wanting to set up a conference first identifies the other users who are to be part of the conference. The user sends an "Invitation" to all the identified users (invitees). Invitees will receive an alert vial email or quick-msg. The Invitees on receiving the invitation will respond by "Accepting" or "Rejecting" the Invitation. The Initiator can check the "Accepted/Rejected" status from the invitees, optionally delete the invitee from Invitee-List and finally confirm the conference. The Initiator can also optionally reset the Conference Date Time and send new Invitation.

Outlook Connectivity
IQ-Cal provides a seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook. If you have a network of Outlook Users, all of them can view other users "free-busy-time". Outlook Users can send invitations to other Outlook users who can accept or reject the invitation. Calendar for both these Outlook users is automatically updated. Seamless integration is also possible for a user not using Outlook to collaborate with an Outlook User and vice versa.

Collaborative Calendar Viewing
IQuinox WebCal allows you to view the calendars of other WebCal users or even Outlook users. This enables the users check the "free-busy-time" of other users before initiating a collaborative activity.
