8.5.1 iphone traveler working but some questions

I have a few questions:

So far it doesn’t appear you can accept a calendar invitation via the iphone?

Corporate name lookups don’t appear to work either?

Sales manager wants to view his teams calenders on his iphone and support is listed here:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.lnt85.doc/LNT_overview.html

It says:

If you are using the latest IBM® Lotus Notes® 8.5.1 client and mail templates, you can add an external calendar to your Notes® calendar and select the View this calendar when offline or on a mobile device option. IBM Lotus Notes Traveler can then synchronize the external calendar events to your device that have been saved for offline or mobile viewing.

This also does not work.

Apart from that all that does work is fantastic!

Subject: Hmm are we going off topic?

Sorry just seems we have forgotten the original questions?

  1. Can you accept meeting invitions on the iphone?

  2. How does corporate name lookup work as it doesn’t appear to be working.

  3. I have followed the instructions as listed in the first post but I cannot view others people calendars that I have added and set offline for mobile devices. Any suggestions on viewing other peoples calendars?

Subject: Corey Spot on!

Thanks for those, I did take a good look through the infocenter but I must of missed those, I think I was looking in the 8.5.1 mostly rather then just 8.5

The name lookup works great I stopped at 3 characters rather than 4, that was what stumped me! Its fast too!

Will be great to accept invitations in the future the Sales Manager has opted for automatic acceptance of invitations, this now also gets past the offline calendar bit.

Thanks again!

Subject: same problem

Upgraded to 8.5.1 today and have the same problem on iphone.

Is it possible to sync to do’s on iphone?

Subject: The iPhone does not have a to-do function, so no. 3rd party options exist.

Subject: 3rd part programs

Do you have an example of 3rd part program?

Another question;

It seems that I can’t edit or remove calendar posts that are made in Lotus Notes from the iphone.

  1. Invitations are not supported in I-Phone currently. Work is underway on this function:

  1. Corporate lookup should work - please review these 2 info center topics and if not working then open a Problem Report:

  1. Federated calendar support is initiated by the Notes client. In the Notes client you need to include the external calendar and then tag for offline viewing with the “View this calendar when offline…” option. Unfortunately the way this works in Notes Client is it is a snapshot in time, I.E in order to update you need to select the “View this calendar when offline…” option again in the Notes client. If not working as described, please open a problem report. Also review these two topics for additional info:

Hope this helps.
