Task Manager

The Task Manager facilitates project management by tracking all the action items related to your project. When you create a new task, such as "Spaghetti Supper Planning," you can assign the task to other members of your team. The people you designate receive an email notification about the task detailing the due date, priority, and any special instructions. Each person involved receives reminder emails before the deadline and as they make progress on the task, they update their status right on the intranet. You can use the Task Manager to track your personal to-do list or create several tasks relating to a specific project. You can also synchronize tasks in your intranet with those in your Palm® device or Outlook®.

Expense Reports

Managing your travel and entertainment budget can be a burden. Expense Reports allows you to create a standard expense form for your group and submit all work-related expenses to your accounting department for reimbursement. And you can do it all without leaving the intranet. Use the Expenses Reports application to: Create and maintain drafts of expense reports Track the status of individual expenses View summary reports of all expenses by type Print reports to submit for reimbursement You can also add items to your report and work on a draft before printing and submitting it for approval.

Group Links

The Links section of your homepage stores your personal links, as well as links to online resources. You can start a list of the websites that you find useful so that others in your group can also take advantage of them. There are two types of links in the Links section: Group Links and My Links. Everyone in your intranet can see the Group Links. Only you can see and add to My Links. You can create folders to better organize all the links in your intranet. For example, you might have folders containing links to your company's benefits plan, daily newspapers, charities, or your competition.

Extranet Option

Extend the reach of your intranet beyond your immediate group by allowing select people to access parts of frenzINET intranets. You can easily maintain the security of your intranet by defining and controlling guest access. By default, only members can see the information on your intranet. But when you enable the extranet option, outside guests can access the site, and you must then choose which features you want them to see. For example, you can allow them to access Polls, but not Documents. Only the administrator can enable the extranet option for your site.
