Collaboration
- every user can share file folders, calendars, contact
folders, message boards with other users
- the same object can be shared multiple times with
different access permissions (read, write, delete, etc.)
- shares can be public, password protected or nominal
(selected users or communities)
- share an object with a user group, and define later
which users belong to that group. Groups are integrated
with the contacts, and can be shared
|
- share an object with users of another domain
- web sharing allows easy publishing of documents on
the web, and make them accessible to non-MISgroupware
users (commercial partners, etc.)
- unlike most similar systems, there is not just a common
document repository or a company calendar: every user
can share information, for instance a document folder
for a particular project, a calendar for a workgroup,
etc. This gives the maximum flexibility in collaboration
and communication
