Played with Sametime in the 6.5 Web Access?


Tags :


Domino Web Access (iNotes to those of us that like the older name) has the integrated Lotus Instant Messaging (Sametime for those of us that once again like the old name) just doesn't yet have all the functionality of the full Sametime Connect client of course.  Now the below list is not complete at all, but it gives you an idea of what is different between the two and was finally documented in a technote.  Now the last one was something that hit each of my users over and over and got quite frustrating since you cannot add a public group?  Sheesh, imagine a large enterprise and having to add tons and tons of names individually?  I am hoping this shows in a QMR.

The following functionality is limited in the Domino Web Access 6.5 instant messaging list when compared to the Sametime Client:
  • Personal groups in the Domino Web Access 6.5 instant messaging list cannot be renamed, as they can in the Sametime Client.
  • You cannot drag and drop members from one personal group to another in the Domino Web Access 6.5 instant messaging list as you can in the Sametime Client.
  • You cannot add Public Groups to the list in the Domino Web Access 6.5 instant messaging list.  If you browse the Domino Directory and find a Public Group, you cannot add the group to your instant messaging list.  If you attempt to do so, you will receive the following error:
