Insight WebClient

Insight Webclient is a browser based email client that provides groupware sharing with Outlook® clients. Users can share calendars, lookup free/busy information, schedule resources, use corporate contact lists, and share public folders.

This client is ideal for remote users who still need to share information with other people, and it provides a similar look and feel as other email desktop applications using the web browser.

Overview

The “WebClient” is a browser independent application that reads information from the email server. The WebClient displays this information to the user in the form of an html page. The interface of the WebClient is quite similar to common desktop applications, such as Microsoft Outlook® which reduces the learning curve. The experience will be quite similar, whether the user is at the office using a desktop application or away from their desk accessing the same data through a web browser.

Requirements

Certain requirements must be met to ensure the application functions the same in all environments as with all browser-based applications. There are many combinations of operating systems and browsers that can cause the application to behave differently. As advances are introduced in browser technology, developers are granted access to tools that allow them to create browser-based applications to mirror their desktop counterparts. Unfortunately, these advances in browser technology are not always backwards compatible with previous versions, nor are they supported in all browser types. A neutral ground has to be found where functionality and browser support can meet.

Every client environment can be unique, so standards must be set to ensure the application functions as intended.

Therefore, your browser choice must support frames, JavaScript, style sheets, and cookies. The WebClient may not function as intended if your browser does not support these technologies.  The WebClient is tested and supported on Internet Explorer®, and Mozilla®.

For the server side component of the WebClient, the requirements are the same as they are for the Insight Server.

Getting Started

Users may gain access to the WebClient simply by entering the URL to the email server of choice.  This information will be provided by the network / email administrator. 

The URL for the WebClient is typically http://youremailserver/groupware/.

The secure page URL is generally https://youremailserver/groupware/.

Security is of the utmost importance when data is stored in a location that is accessible to the outside world. The WebClient takes security quite seriously and has integrated measures to ensure that data is accessible to authenticated personnel only. All screens within the WebClient application have an embedded security check. If a user is trying to access a page within the WebClient and has not been authenticated, the login page will be displayed (Figure 1). The user supplies a username and password and this information is authenticated against user data stored on the Insight server. If a match is found, a user session is created and the user is granted access to the corresponding account.

Figure 1 WebClient Login Screen

Precautions have been taken to prevent malicious users from hacking the web server and gaining access to the critical data that is stored.

Using WebClient

Upon successful login, the following screen will be presented. The tree of all the folders is on the left side of the display, the inbox messages displayed on the top half and the preview pane on the bottom half of the screen. In the upper right corner there is a display of the user who is currently logged into the WebClient.

Figure 2 WebClient startup default Screen

Features and functions

The WebClient includes many of the basic features of a desktop application. The major features include email, calendar, contacts and notes. The WebClient version of these features will function similarly to the desktop application, the only difference being that you access the application with a web browser. As new versions of the WebClient are released, more and more items will be added to the feature set.

Application Navigation Bar

At the left hand side of the web page is the application navigation bar. Click on the icons on this navigation bar to quickly and easily switch between the available applications.

Figure 3. WebClient Tree




Insight Portal Page

The Insight Portal page provides a quick summary of all your important information. For example, it might show how many new e-mail messages you have in your INBOX, upcoming events on your calendar, tasks on your to-do list, and so on. Many of these summaries will contain quick shortcuts to common functions, such as composing a new mail message, creating a new calendar event or task, etc.

The contents of this portal page are customizable via the Add Content button. For example, you can choose which items to include on this portal page as well as in which order they are shown.





Mail

Inbox

The Inbox is used to view and manage incoming emails. Functions such as reply, reply all, forward, delete, and move can be used on email messages found in the Inbox. More about the Inbox will be addressed in the Mail Application section.

Deleted Items

Deleted Items folder is the location where all deleted items will be sent for retrieval. The deleted items can be removed permanently by clicking on Empty Trash menu icon.



Drafts

The drafts folder is used to save emails that have not been sent. These emails can then be edited at a later date to be sent.



Journal

Journal has not implemented at the time of this document creation.



Outbox

Email is stored in the Outbox folder when being sent.  Email messages will not appear in the outbox folder if sent successfully; however, email messages will appear in the outbox folder if there is a failure while trying to send the message.



Sent Items

Sent Items folder is used to store sent email items.



Spam

Spam folder is used to store junk email.



Organizing

Address Book

The Address Book provides a convenient method and place to store contact information for your users for easy retrieval and use.



Calendar

Calendar provides functions of creating, modifying, and deleting events. It currently supports recurring events, alarms, import and export functions (iCalendar and CSV formats), iCalendar invitations, multiple calendar views, shared calendars, display of Task List, and ability to show events in the summary screen.



Notes

Notes allows you to create the computer equivalent of sticky notes. Notes can be created, modified, deleted, and printed. You can also search your notes to locate information. Support for importing and exporting notes is also available.

Unlike real sticky notes, your computer notes can be shared with others in different physical locations. Notes can be organized into different notepads, and assigned categories.



Task

Task is a fairly full-featured "to-do" list manager that supports private and shared tasks lists, integration with the Calendar function, categories, priorities, due-dates, searches, printing and import/export functions.

Mail Application

The Mail Application allows you to Send, Receive, Print and Store email messages, as well as allows you access to shared folders.

The Menu Bar controls the basic functions of the Mail Application. Insight WebClient features a quota level indicator when the user has a quota set on their mailbox. The indicator is listed at the top of the message-list. If a quota has not been set on the user’s mailbox the indicator will not appear.

When the user has utilized below 90% of the quota, the font will be displayed in blue color and in bold red when the quota has exceeded 90% as seen in the figure below.

Figure 4. MenuBar and User Quota Indicator

Empty Trash

The Empty Trash feature allows you to empty the items from the Deleted Items folder.

Inbox

The Inbox is used to view and manage incoming emails. Functions such as reply, reply all, forward, delete, and move can be used on email messages found in the Inbox. Refer to Figure 5 below for an illustration of how the Inbox might appear. The Inbox of the WebClient supports the basic functionality of an email program.



Figure 5. Email Inbox

New Message

The user has the ability to compose new emails either in plain text or using an HTML editor. This setting can be found in the Application Navigation Bar, “Options -> Message Composition section and is called “Compose messages with an HTML GUI by default”.  The HTML editor will allow a user to type messages using different font styles, sizes, formatting, etc. To compose a new message, click the “New Message” icon. To start a new message, enter the fields required, and send to recipients selected from a list of contacts.

Figure 6. Compose email, using plain text editor (default)

Figure 7. Compose email, using rich text editor



Send Message

To send the email, press “Send Message”. This will send the email message and place a copy of the message in your “Sent Items” folder.



Save Draft

To save an email, press “Save Draft”.  This will place the unfinished message in the “Drafts” folder.  It can be accessed from “Drafts” at any time. 



Cancel Message

To cancel an email, press “Cancel Message”. This will cancel the new email message and return you to the inbox.





Auto-completion of email addresses

Insight WebClient uses a javascript that allows users to “auto-complete” addresses from the user’s “contact” folders and will automatically fill in the rest of the nickname/email address.



Address Book

Clicking the AddressBook icon, the recipient list is composed from the contacts list. To add a recipient to the To, CC, or BCC box, the user would simply select the name from the contact list and then click on the button for where the recipient should be placed, e.g. To:, Cc:, or Bcc: The email value for the recipient is automatically attached to the name, so there is no need to memorize email addresses. Please refer to Figure 8 for a reference how the Address Book screen might appear.

Figure 8  New Email Message

 A user can designate who the email is going to be sent to by selecting names in their Contacts list and selecting the “To>>” button. Or the user can simply type the email address in the “To:” field. The same action applies for “Cc>>” and “Bcc>>”. To remove an email recipient that was selected from the list, select the names in “TO>>” field and select the “DELETE” button.

To search for a contact, enter the first and/or last name of the person you wish to find in the “Search” field.  Then press enter or “SEARCH” to display the results. 



Spell checker

Insight WebClient includes a spell checker to check spelling of an email before sending it.  Click the “Spelling” button in order to start the spell checking scanner.



Attachments

Users may attach files or other attachments to an email by selecting “Browse” at the bottom of the email. Browse for the desired attachment, select the attachment, and then select the “Attach Now” icon.



Read receipts

Read receipts can be requested upon sending an email.  When the recipient receives the email, a prompt will be displayed to send a “read receipt” that acknowledges the email was read.  This feature can be turned on for all emails from the Preferences page, or by checking “Request Read Receipt” upon composing an email.

          

Folders

Using Folder Navigator pull down, folders can be created, renamed, deleted, emptied, etc. See figure 9 below.

There are various Organizing Applications: AddressBook, Calendar, Notes and Task. This section describes each of these applications and their uses.

Address Book

The Address Book application provides a convenient method and place to store contact information for easy retrieval and use. Depending on how your administrator has set up the system it can provide a private address book as well as access to public network directory services. It also supports distribution lists so that you can create your own "mailing lists."

The Menu Bar controls the basic functions of the Address Book application, allowing you easy access to the Address Book functions.

Figure 13. The Address Book Menu bar

My Address Books

You can create your personalized address book with your contacts or use one of the global address books.

Browse

The user has the ability to search, add, edit, export and delete. Basic data is displayed on the list page, as shown in Figure 14. Extended data can be viewed, updated, or printed out by clicking on the name.

Figure 14 Contacts List

New Contact

The new contact form allows the entry of data for each new contact. Select the save icon to save your data to the server.

Figure 15 New Contact

Search

Search an address book to locate information. This is intended as a quick search and only allows you to search on a few basic fields. Usually this is the name and email address fields but could vary depending on how your administrator set up the address book.

Figure 16, Basic Search

For a more complex search you can use the "Advanced Search" which permits searching on other fields.

Advanced Search allows you to search on multiple fields. Which fields are available for searching depends on the address book being searched.




Figure 17, Advanced Search

If a search is successful, the results will show up in the "Search Results" area.

Clicking on an "Email" field entry will open a new Compose window to send mail to that address. Clicking on a "Name" field entry will display the address book record for that name, allowing you to then edit or delete the entry.

Depending on how your system has been set up by the administrator, search results can be cumulative. Each search will add any new results to your existing results. This is helpful when building lists. To remove the results of cumulative searches and start a new search, click on the "Clear Search" link.

When viewing a list of entries, you can sort the entries by each field shown by clicking on the appropriate column heading. To switch columns between ascending and descending sort order, click on the arrow icon in the column heading.

Import/Export

This menu allows importing to and exporting from your personal address book. It supports both CSV (Comma Separated Variable), Outlook, and vCard formats, as well as some other popular formats.

Figure 18, Import/Export Address Book

Importing

To import an address book, you need to have the address book data to import on your local machine (on which the web browser is running). To do this, you will need to first export the address book information from your current email client.

If you use Outlook Express:

1) Click on File > Export > Address Book

2) Select "Text File" (Comma Separated Values) in the "Address Book Export Tool". Click on "Export".

3) In the "Save exported files as" field, type in a name for your address book. Click "Next".

4) Put a checkmark in the box to the left of each of the fields that you wish to export. Click "Finish".

5) You should receive a message that states 'Address book export process has completed'. Click 'OK'.

6) Click 'Close' on the 'Address Book Export Tool' and close Outlook Express.

If the exported address book file is not located on your desktop, and you're using a Windows operating system, click on Start > Find or Search > Files or Folders and search your main hard drive for the file name that you used in step 3. Make a note of the file's location.


  1. To import an address book into the webclient, open the address book you want to import.


8) Click on the "Import/Export" Icon. Select the type of address information data file you want to import from the selection list.


9) Click on the "browse" button to look for the address data file on your computer.

Select the file, and click on the "Import" button. The information in the file will be imported into your address book.



Note: Some complex entries, or entries with fields that do not match your address book fields, may not import correctly. You should verify the imported data after an import.

Calendar

The Calendar application is used to manage and schedule appointments. The Calendar View can be adjusted by Day, Work Week, Week, Month, or Year tabs.

The Menu Bar controls the basic functions of the Calendar application, allowing you easy access to the Calendar functions.

Figure 20, Calendar MenuBar

Certain views are designed to be printable. When in one of these views, a Print icon will appear in the top menu bar. Use this menu icon to print the current view.

Today

Display your default view (month, week, day, etc) for the current date, as set in Options -> User Interface.

Figure 21, The Today feature displays your default view. In this example, the default view is Day View

New Event

The New Event menu item will allow you to create a new event to be added to a calendar.

Figure 22, The Add Event window.

Alarms for events in a calendar can be generated. By default, the first alarm is generated fifteen minutes before the appointment is supposed to start, but the alarm can be set (per event) to occur at almost any interval before the event start time.

Events can be made to repeat in various ways. Many events repeat in certain frequency. For example, the Monthly recurrence types allow the selected item to repeat each month, and the Weekly recurrence type allows the selected item to repeat each week. Events can repeat by specific days: for example, an item that occurs on the third Friday of each month, or an item that occurs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday every week.

You can also restrict how long an event repeats by selecting the end date for the event's recurrence.

Normally, a modification to a repeating event applies to all occurrences of that event. A single occurrence of a repeating event can be modified by editing the occurrence, removing its recurrence information, and then choosing the Save as New option from the Repeat menu. The selected occurrence can now be modified independently of the other occurrences.



Save Event

Save the event to the Calendar and return to the default calendar view.



Cancel

Cancel the event, return to default calendar view.



Reset to Defaults

Reset the new event form.

Goto

The Goto menu item will display a small pop-up window in which you can quickly select a month, week of the year, or day of the month to go to. This is usually the quickest way to move within the calendar.
