The Oracle Calendar Web client provides you with all the tools you need to effectively manage your time, in an application you can access from anywhere through the Internet. Using the Web client's intuitive interface, you can schedule meetings with other users, schedule and join Web conferences, check for conflicts, book resources, assign designate rights, create notes and manage tasks. Agendas can also be published for people without a calendar account, offering added functionalities such as sending a schedule to a partner or publishing resource availability for all employees. The Web client connects directly to the calendar server so all your changes are updated in real time.
The Oracle Calendar Web client is closely integrated with Oracle Collaboration Suite, further extending the collaborative corporate environment. With Single Sign On, you only need to authenticate once to access your calendar, e-mail, files, wireless preferences and other Oracle Collaboration Suite applications.
The Oracle Calendar Web client works across all browsers and platforms.
Supported browsers:
Oracle Calendar Web client is installed during the Oracle Collaboration Suite installation process. Your calendar administrator will provide you with the Oracle Calendar Web client URL.
Unlike the other Calendar clients, the Web client can be made available both from within your organization's firewall as well as outside of it, giving you access to your information from anywhere. The Web client supports the same calendar functionality as the desktop client including designate access and the resource scheduler. The only exception is the Address Book. As part of the Oracle Collaboration Suite portal, the Web client enables you to access to the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) where you can create and store your own set of contacts. These contacts will be available to you throughout the portal. The desktop client and Oracle Connector for Outlook store Address Book information on the Calendar server. Currently this information can only be shared between those two clients.
For an overview of similarities and differences between the Web client, desktop client and Oracle Connector for Outlook, see Which Oracle Calendar client should I use?.
Since you are always modifying your calendar data directly on the server, you can use multiple clients to access it. For example, you run both the Web client and Oracle Connector for Outlook at the same time, using the Web client for group scheduling and Oracle Connector for Outlook to manage your tasks and contacts.
The Oracle Calendar Web client includes a feature that enables you to e-mail a link to your Agenda to anyone with Internet access. Those who receive a link to your Agenda can view your Agenda entries that are set as Public but cannot modify them. Check with your system administrator to make sure that this feature is activated.
Only Oracle Calendar users can be scheduled for meetings. However, you can send e-mail messages to external users who are not on your calendar network with an iCalendar or vCalendar attachment that contains the meeting information. See the Oracle Calendar Web client online help for detailed instructions on how to do this.
Yes, you can schedule and join Web conferences using the Web client. The Web client online help describes how to do this.
This release of Oracle Calendar does not support assigning tasks to other users.
You can choose to modify one occurrence or you can modify all occurrences of a repeating entry. However, some fields cannot be modified on a per-occurrence basis. They are as follows:
Any modifications you make to the above fields will automatically apply to all occurrences of a repeating entry.
Yes, you can specify that certain users cannot invite you to meetings, daily notes and day events. The Editing access rights section of the Oracle Calendar Web client online help provides instructions on how to do this.
The maximum size for meeting and task attachments is determined by the calendar system administrator. You can only attach one file per meeting or task.
The maximum number of occurrences allowed for repeating entries is determined by the calendar system administrator.
You cannot delete agenda entries that you do not own. You can, however, set your preferences to hide entries that you have declined. See the Oracle Calendar Web client online help for information on setting your Agenda preferences.
Accessibility mode provides the same functionality as Standard mode but it is intended for users of assistive technology. If you normally use Standard mode and you notice that parts of the Web client user interface look different, you may have accidentally switched to Accessibility mode. You can click the Accessibility icon on the Calendar toolbar to switch back to Standard mode. The Accessibility icon enables you to toggle between Standard and Accessibility mode.
If a user creates a calendar entry using Oracle Connector for Outlook and attaches multiple files to the entry, a file named Mime-Encoded-Attachment.txt is attached to the entry in the Oracle Calendar Web client instead of the files that were attached by the entry owner because currently, the Web client supports only one attachment per entry. You can, however, view the files without any problems if you open the entry in Oracle Connector for Outlook.
The Web client enables you to upload any type of file to an entry. However, you can only download the following file types:
If you want to download an attachment that is not supported by the Web client, you can open the Agenda entry the file is attached to using the Oracle Calendar desktop client or Oracle Connector for Outlook.
