VCOrganizer 8 New Features Highlights

VCOrganizer 8 New Features Highlights

Social Network


Build-in Chat App () , which allows user to easily send messages (including Voices, Images, Texts, ..etc to your friends).  You can also encrypt these data before sending to internet.  Not only the communication channel is secured, the data which sends to the server is also encrypted.  

Collaboration


The New Chat App is fully integrated the Notes, Tasks, Contacts and Calendar Apps. That's means you can share your tasks, events, notes or contacts to your friends or partners (in Read-Only mode or Read-Write mode).  For the items you have shared (even in Read-Only mode),  the recipients can also add comments which can be viewed by all other recipients.

For example, if you have an event in your VCOrganizer Calendar which links to a few tasks in VCOrganizer Tasks app using SmartLink. These tasks need to be completed by different people before the start of the event. You can assign these tasks to different people. When they complete the tasks on their devices, it will also update the corresponding tasks on your device. If they have any questions, they can also add comments to the tasks.

Real-Time / Remote Outlook Sync


Sync with remote Outlook client over internet in Real-Time. With the Real-Time sync enabled, when you insert/update/delete items in VCO, it will update to your Outlook clients (at home or office) immediately. You don't need any public IP address. Of course,  the data can also be encrypted before sending.

Share Data with Multiple Devices


You can selectively sync items in VCOrganizer on one device to the other devices.  For example, you have a phone and two tablets devices. When you sync items from Outlook to your phone, these items will be synced to these two tablets. When you update the items in these tablets, they can be synced back to your phone and Outlook also. These two tablets need to run either VCOrganizer App or vcCalendar App.

Chat - Share VCO Items by Categories

Instead of sharing items one by one, you can share item at categories level.

1) Open a category in VCO Category app, and click the "Share" () button to open the "Share to Friends" dialog. 

For example, for any item assigned with this category, it will be shared as "Allow Update" mode to your friend Anderson and Billy. Also, when you, Billy or Anderson add any comments to the shared items, it will be broadcast to all the members in the group.





For example, if you have assigned the category "K2 Project" to a task, it should show the member list that inherit from the category. If the share is inherited from category, you will see the category icon () in the Member title bar.



If there are more than one categories of the item which have configured share properties, they will be combined. However, the "Read Only" will always come first. 

For example 
Category A - share with Read-Only,  and with member Anderson and Billy
Category B - share with Allow-Update, and with member Anderson and Sophia

If you have a task with Category A and Category B, the effective share mode will be:

Anderson  - Read-Only
Billy - Read-Only
Sophia - Allow-Update


Note:
  • When you assign/update share properties to a category, it will take effect when you start updating the items with that category. For example, if you have a task with category "K2 Project". If you set the category "K2 Project" to share with your friends, the task will not share to your friend until you update the task again.
  • The item level sharing will overwrite the category level sharing. If you have set the task to share with our friends, it will ignore any share properties that inherit  from category level.


Avoid Duplicates of Records When You Share Items

Share data is designed to share your VCO items with your friends. If you want to share the items with your other devices (for example, from VCOrganizer on your Phone to vcCalendar on your tablet ..etc), please note:

Since you can sync contacts or events to/from different sources on your Android devices, please try not to create a loop when you share items. 

Example 1:
You sync items from Outlook to Phone A, and then share items from Phone A to Phone B, and then sync Phone B with the same Outlook client. This is very likely to end up with duplicates.

If both Phone A or Phone B are going to sync with the same Outlook client, you don't need to share data. The data will eventually be synced to both Phone A and Phone B from Outlook.


Example 2:
On Phone A, you have configured to sync contacts or events to your Gmail account on the Cloud. On Phone B you have also configured to sync contacts or events to the same Gmail account.  If you have create an events on Phone A, and then share to Phone B, you will end up create two events on the Cloud. It's because Gmail doesn't check for duplicates.

If you want to share events or contacts from Phone A to Phone B, please make sure you don't configure them to sync with the same Gmail account. For example, on Phone B, you can configure VCO not to sync events to your Gmail account (In VCOrganizer -> Calendar -> Settings, "Sync with Mobile Calendar").

At any time, VCOrganizer will try to check for duplicates when you share items or sync with Outlook. It's suggested to avoid these loop situations.

Chat - Share VCO Items

With the built-in chat feature, you can easily share any VCO items to your friends or colleagues which include notes, tasks, events and contacts.

For the items that you have shared, any members in the shared group can add any comments to that item.
You can share the item in "Read Only" () mode or "Allow Update" () mode.

  • For "Read Only" mode, your friends can update the items on their device, but it will not update the items on your device.
  • For "Allow Update" mode, when your friends update the item, it will also update the item on your device.


In the following example, we are going to show you how to share a task in VCOrganizer. For events, notes or contacts, they are similar.

1) Open the task that you would like to share. Select "Share to Friends" from the menu.


2)  In the "Share to Friends" dialog, you can select any groups or friends you would like to share. After that, in the Task screen, you should see the members of this task.



3) Now, Billy and Sophia should have received this shared task. Since the task is shared as Read-Only, even they have updated the task on their device, it won't update the task on your device.  


4) For all the shared items, members can add any comments they want which includes text messages, photos or voice messages. To add comment, click the comment icon () to go to the Item Comments screen. You can type text message, send photos or voice. Just like what you can do when you chat with friends.

Item Comments Screen
Comments displays in Task screen

5) All the items or comments that you have sent to or received from your friends, you can see these items in your friend's chat screen. In VCOrganizer -> Chat -> Friends, for example, click Anderson KK to open the chat screen. 

In the following example, it shows a task and a comment that you had sent to Anderson. Anderson had sent you an event and a contact.





- This icon indicates that you have received the item, but it's not been imported to VCO App.

- This icon indicates that you have received the item, and it's been imported to VCO App.

- This icon indicates that your have sent the item to your friend and he/she has received it.

- This icon indicates that the item is still in your local queue and will be sent when your friend is online.


Note:
  • By default, the comments added by the item owner (who share this item) will be broadcast to all members. However, the comments sent from members will not be broadcast to other members. If you have selected "Auto Forward Comments" option when you share the item, all the comments sent from members will be forwarded to other members automatically.
  • You can use "Share to Friends" option at any time to change the share settings of that item such as change from "Allow Update" to "Read-Only", or add/delete members, or change the "Auto Forward Comments" option.
  • When you share any recurring event instances, the whole recurring series will be shared.
