View Your Calendar vs. View Your Schedule
Lotus Notes provides a great deal of granularity regarding the security of your mail file. ?For today's blog entry, I'd like to clarify the difference between two Calendar features which I believe some people may not fully understand, Calendar access and Schedule access.
Calendar Access controls who can actually read/create/edit/delete the entries on your calendar. ? For example, you may allow your manager and your teammates to read your calendar, enabling them to see where you are and what you are working on. ?Similarly, you may allow your assistant to create, edit, and delete entries on your calendar. ? * Don't worry, the details for entries marked Private are kept from even those you grant calendar access.
Schedule access is something different. ? This is what controls who can and can not see your "free/busy time" when scheduling a meeting. ?The people you allow access to your schedule can't actually open your calendar like the people mentioned above.
Is someone tries to find an available time to schedule a meeting with you, and they're not allowed access to your schedule, they will see your availability returned as "Info Restricted"
I hope this helps you understand the difference between these two features.

Tap into Tapp for Workflow Expertise — O’Reilly Releases “Photoshop Workflow Setups: Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography”
Most photographers are passionate about their work, but that doesn't mean they're passionate about sitting in front of a computer tweaking photographs. Although they have a powerful ally in Photoshop, some photographers struggle with a love/annoyance relationship with the application. It's understandable: many of Photoshop's features are intended for photo editing, but some are strictly for print and web design. The wealth of features and options can be confusing, distracting, and downright unproductive. (posted by Jennifer Apple)

My “Shortcut Podcast” on Archiving e-mail
I few weeks ago I mentioned a new a new podcast series featured on the IBM web site called Shortcuts. ? The first of several topics that I've recorded for the show is now available, Cut #3: Archiving e-mail.
Since archiving may be a new concept for you, I'll explain the basics. ?Most people have a set of folders and documents on their desk that they access on a regular basis. ?The items you don't use often (ex: old bills) you put away in a filing cabinet, or perhaps in a box in the attic/basement or some other "long term" storage area. ?The same thing can be done with your email.
Rather than keeping all your messages in a single mail file, you may want to archive certain messages away into another database(s). ?This database may be on your own computer or may be on one of your company's servers. ?You may even archive onto a CD or DVD. ?You can choose to archive documents that are older than a certain date, or maybe all the documents from a project you are no longer working on, or some other criteria that meets your specific needs. ?As I mention in the podcast above, archiving is not just for reducing the size of your mail file, in some situations there may be legal reasons depending on who you work for.
Lotus Notes has several built in archiving features, and also works with many 3rd party archiving products. ?IBM offers DB2 CommonStore for Lotus Domino and several IBM Business Partners make similar or complimentary products.
I suggest you speak with the System Administrators in your company to find out more about the archiving rules, process, and products/tools available at your company.
