System requirements

• 26 MB hard disk space
• Operating system:
• Linux X86 2.2.x kernel or later
• Solaris 2.6, 7 or 8 (sparc only)
If you are using Debian 2.2, you will need to have an extra library installed on your system. The library is called libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 and is available on your install media or from Debian at:   http://packages.debian.org/stable/oldlibs/libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1.html . If you have the apt configured you can use: apt-get install libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1.

In order to use the CorporateTime online help, you will need to have a copy of Netscape Navigator or Communicator  4.0 or higher installed on your system. The directory containing the program netscape must also be in your path.

New features

The following features were new in version 4.0:

Security
Functionality
User interface
Reminders and notification

Security

Authentication-Compression-Encryption (ACE) framework increases the level of security of CorporateTime. Choose what type of authentication, compression and encryption mechanisms to use, and a system that can react if the preferred mechanisms are not available.

CorporateTime now offers the ability to configure a polite or secure level of login authentication. The polite level of authentication will show an error message if the information entered in the login box is incorrect. It will indicated which field contains the error, allowing the user to correct the information. The secure level does not indicate which fields contain the incorrect information, thus providing a more secure environment. The administrator controls this behavior using a parameter on the server.

Functionality

• Powerful text searching capability extends the way users can access data in their Agendas. You can specify whether to search for a string or an attendee, in an Agenda, in an event field, or over a time range. Perform single string searches, sub-string searches and case-insensitive searches.
• Hold or discard your messages with the new wireless settings. You can receive notification of changes to your Entries and have your messages delivered during the time slot of your choice.
• Include details with your Daily Notes and Day Events.
• Users can toggle between different sets of sign-in preferences. The system stores each set of preferences and the Connection Manager switches between them.
• Use a unique user ID to sign in to the application.
• Import or export calendar data in vCalendar, iCalendar and vCard formats.
• Enhanced drag-and-drop capabilities in the Agenda View.
• Off-line files are now compatible across UNIX platforms.

User interface

• Improve your user experience with a redesigned toolbar and UI.
• The updated default color schemes give CorporateTime a new look and feel.

Reminders and notification

• Open up to the rest of the Internet by communicating with non-CorporateTime users. External e-mail notification allows you to add any e-mail address to the distribution list. Send a vCalendar or iCalendar attachment or a textual description in the body of the e-mail message.
• Choose from different reminder types, including e-mail, pop-up and SMS.
• When you modify or delete instances of a repeating Meeting, only affected instances will be listed in the mail message.
• When you modify or delete instances of a repeating Meeting, by default only invitees for the affected instances will be notified by e-mail.

Limitations, caveats, and known problems in this release

• If you export an iCal file containing a Holiday, delete the Holiday from your Agenda and then re-import the file using a date range, the Holiday will not appear in your Agenda. Suggested workaround: In the Period area of the  Import iCalendar file dialog, select "All" instead of "Range". (#5302)
• Selecting "Download Only" from the Reconcile, Cancel, Download Only dialog box will erase any changes you have made in your off-line Agenda. You will not be warned that any changes that you make will be lost. (#3765)
• You can exceed the maximum mail distribution number by adding a resource with many designates. Suggested workaround: Avoid adding resources to mail distribution lists if they have many designates. (#3764)
• Clicking "Apply to All" in the General tab of a repeating entry may reset your Reminder and Reply options for all instances of the entry. (#3763)
• You may encounter problems using Exceed 7.0 with CorporateTime for Motif 5.0. (#2463)
• Storing off-line files on a remote machine (i.e. not the machine on which you are running the application) may cause slow-downs when you perform certain functions such as working off-line or working with an Address Book. Suggested workaround: Store your off-line files on a local disk. (#1608)
• You should not run concurrent copies of CorporateTime from one Unix account.

Resolved limitations since 5.0

• If you are using CorporateTime 5.0 for Motif on a Solaris 2.8 machine that has Patch 108652-51 installed, CorporateTime will crash when you attempt to sign in on-line or off-line. (#264)
• If you hover your mouse over a Meeting to show its details in a ToolTip and then press Ctrl + W, the ToolTip will not close. (#5397)
• If you are using CorporateTime 5.0 for Motif on a Solaris 8 machine, the names of the e-mail recipients in the Mail Message dialog will be cut short.

Resolved limitations since 4.0.x

• When you attach a large file, an error may appear stating that you connection to the server has been lost. If you select OK, you will get a module error. (#5293, 2459)
• If you have off-line Entries that have not been uploaded to your on-line Agenda and you are downloading your Agenda while working as a designate, you will receive a module error. (#5077)
• You should not force global foreground or background colors for CorporateTime, as this might cause problems in running the application. (#4457)
• Do not open a Group View containing users that are on an unavailable server. (#4353)
• If you have created a repeating Meeting and you choose to delete your list of dates, all information about the Meeting, except for title and details, will be lost. (#3766, 8415)
• If you have administrative rights and you create an Administrative Group, you will not be able to view or edit the Group after you create it. You can still include this group on a list of participants, and other users with administrative rights can view and edit the Group. (#3761)
• When signing in to CorporateTime, first or last names that contain a space must be entered using "^" to replace the space. (#3144)
• If you have snoozed a Reminder for a Meeting, you may have trouble with Pop-up Reminders for new Meetings. (#2546)
• If you are in a time zone east of Greenwich Mean Time, you should not choose the "Export all" option when exporting a vCalendar file. Rather, select the "Export by range" option. (#2515)
• You will not be able to export Designates, as this may cause you to receive a module error and the application may quit. (#2531)
• If you reschedule a Meeting to which a Resource has been invited to a new date that is conflicting for the Resource, you will get a message stating that the Meeting cannot be moved. If you delete the Resource and press OK, you will get a series of module errors and CorporateTime will quit. (#1828)
• You should not put a space in the command line that starts the mail option. If you do, you will receive an error message stating "The specified mail option was not found." (#1610)
• When attempting to import a vCalendar file for which the "From" and "To" dates are the same, you will get a message reading "There are no valid entries to import" and you will be unable to import the file. (#1592)
• If you are sharing your CorporateTime account with another user, you must manually create a directory for your off-line files before browsing. (#1015)
• When you check for conflicts in the Event Editor, the names of the People and Resources will disappear. The Event you are checking is unselected, so the names will not appear. However, the names have not been removed and will re-appear when you click on the Event. (#917)
• Some characters will be printed on top of other when you print the Agenda of a user or resource whose name contains accents. (#897)
• When you are exporting a tab- or comma-delimited file for Address Books, you cannot use the down button to scroll through the Export fields list box. (#620)
