Note: Lotus iNotes (Webmail) is currently in beta testing mode only and is not available to the general PeopleSoft population. The pilot is currently closed and is not being expanded to include additional users. Look for communications via OneVoice regarding iNotes (Webmail) in the future.

When iNotes Web Access is launched, the customizable Welcome page will appear. The layout of the Welcome page, whether the default or customized, consists of the following:

• Customizing the Welcome page.
  
  
• Full month view of the calendar (left side of screen): The current date shows as well as a full current month view. Click the forward or back arrow next to the year or month to scroll forward or back a month or year.
  
  
• Toolbar with different view options (above the contents of the current view): This toolbar will appear in every open view for ease in changing views. When clicking on any of the buttons in the toolbar, a drop down menu will appear with the options available. Single click on any option to open the view selected.
  
  
• Special option buttons (upper right hand corner): Single click on any of the special option buttons to process that request.
  • Logout: After clicking the button, to complete the logout process, click the Y es button when the window appears that says, "The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close this window?" The browser itself will close.
• Go Offline: This will allow the user to work offline after the offline setup has been completed. For information on how to set up offline services, see Eureka! document 16144 — How to set up offline access in iNotes Web Access.
• Preferences: Select mail and calendar preferences when clicking this button. For information on how to set the preferences, see Eureka! document 16135 — How to set mail and calendar preferences in iNotes Web Access.
• Help: Information about the specific view that is open will appear.
