Attendee status displays for meeting chair
Attendee status for an event is now shown for the meeting chair. Invitees to a meeting will still only see the list of Required and Optional invitees.
Marking IBM Verse contacts as Important
You can now designate contacts as Important people when using the IBM Verse server. This can be done through the long-press or swipe menus of a contact in the list of contacts, or from the contact editor. Important contacts have a blue star by the contact name.
The At-Glance widget displays when receiving new mail from "Important to me" contacts
When IBM Notes Traveler is connected to an IBM Verse environment, it is now able to sync your Verse "Important to me" contacts. Mail from these contacts can be accessed from the Important to Me bar in the widget. If you are not connected to a Verse environment, your "Important to me" contacts are only stored on the device and are not synced.
- Only IBM Notes Traveler contacts can be marked as "Important to me." This can be done from the Contacts list or by editing a contact.
- A contact must have a mail address in order to be marked as "Important to me."
- Most recently marked contacts are ordered above older contacts.
Actions app on Android Verse
IBM Verse for Android now includes a new "Actions" application for displaying Action Items. Action Items are created from sent or received mail. You can mark mail as an item that you need to take action on and provide a date by which it needs to be done. You can also mark sent mail as an item that you are waiting for a response on and provide a due date. The recipient is not notified that you have marked the item as an Action Item or provided the due date.
