Ted Stanton: Notes 8.5 Beta 2 and Connections
September 2 2008
Meanwhile, Ted is checking out the new integration between the Lotus Notes client and Lotus Connections, which is in the new Notes 8.5 beta 2 that posted on Friday:
Beta 1 provided the ability to take Activities off-line, add Activity's to your Notes Calendar, and view the Profiles person card. Beta 2 has now integrated Connections search capabilities into the native Notes search toolbar along with the ability to dogear a document.The Activities + Calendar integration is very welcome...

This is a welcomed addition and one we've been asking of the Connections team for over a year. This will make rolling-out Connections easier from my perspective, by adding more end-user value.
The lack of Notes calendar inclusion put Activities in the category of "Just another place to look for things one needs to do." Now, it's integrated and can be a much better value-add, and really save time, imho.
