This week's complimentary lunch & learn webinar was titled: "Microsoft SharePoint in Action" and was presented by People-OnTheGo (www.people-onthego.com), with guest speaker Claire Castell, Manager at the Consumer and Small Business Deposit Risk at Wells Fargo.

Session description: Windows SharePoint, a Microsoft add-on to Windows Server 2003, offers web and intranet functionality. It is a powerful collaboration tool as well as an application development platform. It enables the creation and sharing of web pages, documents, team and project sub-sites, version-controlled document storage, and basic search functionality. In this session, we will explain and demonstrate the benefits of Windows SharePoint, and how it can be used to enhance collaboration and information management within a team or an organization.

"How do e-mail flags work when sending messages using Outlook?" Asked Gene

More specifically, Gene asked

a) If you receive an an email that already has a flag, does reflagging work?

b) Also, if you forward an email you've flagged does the recipient see your flag?

And here are the answers

a) If you receive an e-mail that already has a flag, yes you can reflag it. Just apply the new flag like you would normally do, and the new flag will take over.

b) If you forward an e-mail that has a falg, the flag does NOT automatically go with it. To send a flag with an outgoing e-mail (in Outlook 2003), you need to click on the Option button in the composition window, and assign the flag yourself. In Outlook 2007, the flagging feature was enhanced tremendously, and now with an outgoing e-mail, you can assign two flags, one for you, and one for the recipient.

Lunch & Learn Webinar: "Managing Unfinished Messages with Microsoft Outlook 2007"

One of the biggest challenges that e-mail users have in today's information overload and e-mail super-overload, is tracking unishined messages--messages that still require some follow-up. If you have been using Microsoft Outlook 2003, you may be familiar with some of the techniques that can help in this area, which include using the flags and the for-follow-up search folder.

In the lunch & learn webinar today, we demonstrated how the new Microsoft Outlook 2007 handles flags and additional out-of-the-box capabilities that can help with tracking unfinished messages. One of the areas that we focused on is the additional integration between e-mail, the calendar, and the task list, and the ease with which you can view and adjust outstanding items.
