Consider using a FirstClass calendar. Instead of sending out printed memos and filling out request forms, you can use a group calendar in FirstClass to invite participants, reserve multimedia resources, and book locations. Here is a comparison of the conventional way you may book resources and how you would do it in FirstClass. [Image:92203_31828_0.png] [Image:9203_31709_1.png] Example Michael Green is vice president of Sales and Marketing at Husky Planes. Several times a year he showcases the company's newest products for his sales staff. His presentations usually consist of a promotional videotape from the Marketing department accompanied by a slide presentation. Michael schedules the presentation, invites members of the sales department, and books the boardroom and multimedia resources all at the same time. He doesn't have to leave his office to ensure that his presentation goes off without a hitch. Here are the steps he takes to handle the arrangements: STEP 1: Schedule presentation Michael schedules the presentation in the Sales Dept Calendar by creating a new event entitled New Product Promo. This is the new event he created. [Image:8102006_91145_0.png] STEP 2: Reserve venue Each resource or location Michael wishes to book has its own calendar. When he schedules an event, he simply enters the name of the resource calendar or location calendar on the Scheduling tab of the event he is booking. If there is a time conflict, it will show immediately and he can decide how to handle it. Michael reserves the company's mid-sized boardroom using the Scheduling tab. STEP 3: Reserve resources Michael also reserves a large screen television, a video cassette recorder, and a video projector. This is the Scheduling tab where he books the resources. [Image:882006_33623_2.png] When he entered his requests on the Resources tab for the New Products Promo event, a new event appeared in each item's calendar. Husky Planes' IT department monitors the resource and location calendars and ensures that requested equipment is ready for use when scheduled. This is the calendar for the video projector that John booked. [Image:882006_32721_0.png] STEP 4: Invite participants Michael invites the members of the sales department by entering their names on the Scheduling tab. From this screen, he sees who may have a time conflict. He adjusts the date and time as needed (the booked times for the resources and locations will also change automatically). The presentation will then appear in each of their personal calendars. This is the Scheduling tab where he invites participants. [Image:882006_33910_4.png] [Image:9203_31709_1.png] Variation If Michael has content he wishes to share before the presentation, he can attach it to the calendar event at the time of scheduling or type it in the text box on the event form. This is the event he created. He attached a file for review and included an agenda in the text area. [Image:882006_32224_4.png]

Form tabs HTTP Access subtab Logging subtab FTP CIFS Use this form to configure the HTTP and FTP protocols on your system. You do not need to modify this form unless you have an unusual Internet setup. HTTP tab Use this tab to define Internet browser options, configure the HTTP protocol, and set up statistics. Access subtab Enabled Enable HTTP, HTTPS, or both for your system. Default: HTTP HTTP port Default is 80 The port number for your HTTP server. Do not change the port number unless advised to do so by your web site administrator. Default:80 HTTPS port The port for your HTTPS server. Normally, you will accept the default 443. Do not change this port number unless advised to do so by your web site administrator. Default:443 Certificate Enter system security certificate, in both single, and multipe-site configurations HTTP timeout The time Internet Services will wait for a response from a web browser before disconnecting. Default: 1 minute Default language The default language (not necessarily English) used if you do not have a language file on your system that matches the browser's requested language. Default: en Home Page Aliases Set home page restrictions to either "Allow Short Forms" or "Aliases Only". "Aliases Only" is the recommended setting, so Internet Services passes to the aliases listed in the Internet Services Alias table. This way nothing is passed to the server unless the alias is found in the table. For information on Aliases and Allow Short Forms, see Configuring user mail aliases. Default: Allow Short Forms Advanced caching Selecting this option allows caching read-only (Windows) or protected (Mac OS X) files. It does not allow caching of writable (Windows) or unprotected (Mac OS X) files. This option makes Internet Services more selective about which files to cache. Default: Off Disable CGI RDNS Disables reverse DNS lookup of any CGIs. The DNS server doesn’t have to resolve domain names into IP addresses for CGIs that don’t need this information. Default: Off Allow unauthenticated Directory access Allows unauthenticated users to access the Directory by placing /Directory in a URL. For security reasons, this option is not recommended, unless you need to make your directory available to the public (for example, government sites). Default: Off User's IP cannot change during web login session When checked, incorporates the user's IP address as part of the session key that is used when logged in via the web. This prevents a user from memorizing your login hash and logging in as you from another computer.         Note This is not really needed if users allow Internet Services to set a session cookie, which prevents the login hash from being incorporated into the URL. Default: Off Administrators may only log in using HTTPS When checked, administrators must use HTTPS for web access. This ensures that the administrator tasks done from the web are not perfromed using the HTTP protocol, which is less secure than HTTPS. Default: On Logging subtab Use this subtab to set your statistics log format, frequency (only applies if you are writing statistics to your own log file), and location. Logging format: •       NCSA Common log format •       FirstClass log format •       NCSA Combined log format This format is the safest for commercial standard log analyzers. This format contains additional information, but you will have to write your own database and reports. This format provides NCSA Common fields plus the FirstClass fields. Default Log statistics for authenticated users Logs statistics only for authenticated users. Reduces the load on the server especially for large sites with heavy HTTP traffic. Default: Off Log resource statistics Logs Internet Services resources. Reduces the load on the server especially for large sites with heavy HTTP traffic. Default: Off Destination: •       Do not log statistics •       Log to server log •       Log to server statistics folder •       Log to (the full path to the folder) No statistics log is kept. Write statistics and include in the server log, by default located in the FCServer\Stats folder. Write statistics to the server statistics folder, by default located in the FCServer\Stats folder. The statistics file has an "I" in the file name, for example 01Aug03I.txt . Write statistics to a location other than the default FCServer\Stats folder. Type the path (using normal path syntax for your operating system) to the folder that will contain this file. Because statistics are written continuously, for performance purposes, you may find it best to create this folder on a little-used volume. This folder must be on the server machine, not the machine Internet Services is on. Default Top FTP tab Use this tab to configure the FTP protocol. FTP port The TCP port FTP clients use to download files from your FTP folder. Do not change this port number unless advised to do so by your FTP administrator. Default: 21 FTP timeout The time Internet Services will wait for a response from an FTP client before disconnecting. Default: 1 Anonymous FTP Allows FTP users anonymous access. Default: Off Top CIFS tab Use this tab to configure the Common Internet File System (CIFS/SMB) protocol. CIFS TCP port The raw TCP connections port for the CIFS module. Default: 445 CIFS NBT port The NetBIOS/TCP connections port for the CIFS module.         Note CIFS runs on both ports. Default: 139 CIFS Timeout Maximum CIFS idle time per session. Default: 30 Disallow logins using plain text passwords By default, does not allow users to log in to their Desktops using unencrypted passwords (Windows only).         Warning If your system does not encrypt user passwords and you allow plain text passwords, you run a security risk. Default: On Top
