Introduction
------------
x-CAL3 is a network software product from Extensions Software
Corporation that provides a low-cost workgroup calendaring solution
for modern businesses. x-CAL3's private calendar functions offer
network users an easy means of tracking personal appointments and
events, while x-CAL3's workgroup calendar functions provide a true
productivity tool for tracking user-group schedules.
x-CAL3 provides the calendaring features needed in any workgroup
environment, including:
- Private calendar
- WorkGroup calendar
- Alternate calendar
- Meeting scheduler
- Multi-level security system
- International date/time options
- Administrator system
- Online help system
- Printout to LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, or disk file
- Network-aware of Banyan VINES(R)
- Network-aware of Novell NetWare(R)
Private Calendar System: x-CAL3 provides an appointment schedule data
file for each system user. This file contains the date, time,
description, and location for each scheduled meeting or appointment.
x-CAL3 uses 15-minute time blocks for ease of scheduling, and
graphically displays both a 7-day weekly as well as a daily user
appointment schedule. A user may zoom-in on the specific calendar
details for any selected day and then enter/change/delete meetings or
appointments. A user may also enter recurring meetings using the
x-CAL3 automatic meeting scheduler. Automatic scheduling can be setup
by each user to skip all conflicts, overwrite all conflicts, or prompt
the user for disposition as conflicts occur.
Alternate Calendar System: x-CAL3 includes an alternate calendar
system whereby one user can provide another user access to his/her
private calendar. A typical scenario would be for a manager to grant
alternate user access to his/her secretary. An alternate user may
perform all private calendar activities for the user for whom he/she
has been granted access, including calendar detail entry/change/delete
and automatic scheduling.

Introduction (continued)
------------------------
WorkGroup Calendar System: x-CAL3 allows creation of up to 26
different calendar workgroups, each of which may contain an unlimited
number of calendar users. Each user can be granted any combination of
member and scheduler status. Member status means that a user can
examine all group member calendars, while scheduler status means that
a user can schedule meetings and appointments for the entire calendar
group.
Administrator System: Built into x-CAL3 are complete administrator
maintenance functions, based on a user-level security access system,
including the following:
- System Information (system name, system type, etc)
- New User Defaults
- User Maintenance (user setup and workgroup access)
- Group Maintenance
- Activity Log (audit trail)
- Error Log (should errors occur)
- Main File Reindexing
- User File Reindexing
- Database Summary
