Corporate Signatures 

BlueMind version 3.5.8 allows you to add a new application to BlueMind: Corporate signatures.

You can set up as many signatures as you like for messages sent within or outside the domain, for a group of users or all users, for a specific period, etc.

You can customize signatures based on the same design to include names, addresses, phone numbers or other data extracted from senders contact cards.

The application also allows you add a disclaimer to outgoing messages.

Avec la nouvelle With version 3.5.12, l'utilisateur a désormais, en plus de l'information de présence d'une signature, une vision de la signature qui sera ajoutée à son email.

Calendar

Meetings

In order to level up with other market players and bring new possibilities to our users, BlueMind 3.5 calendar features have been redesigned. Please find out more about them in the dedicated page: Calendar - Meeting management

New Calendar features include:

• Being able to specify different participation statuses for each instance of a recurring meeting. I.e., participants can confirm their assistance for the whole series and, if necessary, specify that they will not attend a particular instance.
• Event organizers, who are now participants in all their events and meetings, have better control over the meeting and centralizes participation statuses. Other participants can check others' participants' status through the organizer's event view.
• Each participant now has a customized view of a meeting, which means they can edit it (customized title, description, location, etc.) without changes being seen by other participants.

Domain calendars

Domain calendars are no longer considered as physical entities like users and resources. They are now considered as calendars whose purpose is to inform users.

As a result, domain calendars can no longer be set as event organizers or be invited to events, as used to be the case with BlueMind 3.0.

To find out more about domain calendars, how to use them and new practices, please go to the user's guide page Calendar - Meeting management, and in particular the paragraph about Domain calendars.

Overbooking and automatic resource booking

BlueMind 3.5.5 brings a long-awaited feature: auto-accept or reject resource bookings.

Thanks to this, although resource managers will continue to be alerted about resource bookings, they will no longer have to accept or reject requests through the resource's calendar. If a resource is available, its participation is automatically confirmed, if not, it is rejected. The resource manager can still arbitrate and edit bookings as necessary.

This feature is optional and BlueMind's earlier resource management method can be kept.

To find out more, go to the dedicated page Resource administration

Multiple Calendars

BlueMind users can now create and own as many personal calendars as they like. This means they can sort and share events more efficiently.

In addition, users can choose which calendars will be used to show their availability:

External Calendars

BlueMind 3.5 makes it possible to synchronize external calendars for viewing through a calendar's url in iCal format (.ics file extension).

External Sharing

The BlueMind calendar can now be shared externally through a public address or a private address that allows private events to be viewed.

Large files and

linked attachments

BlueMind v.3.5 introduces the possibility to detach attachments from messages and show them as download links instead. This makes messages lighter, thereby alleviating servers and communication networks: files are no longer sent within email messages and stored on the incoming server in addition to the outgoing server and being duplicated and multiplied as messages are forwarded and replied to.
