We've completed a change to Collaborative Tools that should improve email delivery for the system. Email service providers like Yahoo and Gmail use the DMARC specification to deter the amount of spam delivered to users. In recent weeks, we've seen more emails being flagged as spam or completely rejected.
Historically, we've sent emails from the system with the original sender's email in the "from" field. Therefore, if someone with the address crazy4cats@yahoo.com sent an email using the VMS, we would send it from crazy4cats@yahoo.com. If the email goes to other users with Yahoo accounts, it will likely be rejected because Yahoo can tell that the original email did not come...

Keep in mind, these are VERY preliminary. We expect to enhance, beautify and grow our mobile environment as time and resources permit. Please...

Calendar in Monthly View (not much happening)
Collaborative Tools has been given a few new features in the past two months, with a few more to come soon.
First, there is a new calendaring system that everyone can use. The calendar system is composed of two distinct components: a standard calendar of events and a planning tool. The calendar will be familiar to users of our other calendaring systems while the planning tool may be a completely new concept.
This is the plan
Based on the popular online planner, Doodle, our...

Two new Portal-related items were released this morning to deafening applause. First, we now have a "Portal Options" page allowing you to make some modifications to what you see on your Portal. Second, there is a new ANR Quick Access menu!
The Portal Options page controls the following four options right now:
- Module Activation - You can now remove modules from your portal. Click on a module you want removed, and it will disappear from your Portal after you reload the page! Of course, certain modules cannot be turned off, but most can. The list shows all modules, even ones that you may not be using, so you might see some things you didn't know existed in the...
