Domino 7 - New Calendar Purging
Tags :Domino 7
Here is a nifty new feature for those that
can't figure out how to clean their calendars. Most users don't see
it as taking up space with all the attachments and such in calendar entries.
Now, before you get to the image below, if you are like me you might
just be using that calendar for historical information. It is searchable,
including attachments.
So why the heck would I want
to purge out all those entries? How do I decide which ones? How do
I see what is in them first? Do I go through them all first and then
run this agent? If that is the case then I can delete them while
I am there.
Yes for general calendar users
and for quota management it is a great idea. But where do they put
all that meeting info then? We had one site that used to go back
and see who attended meetings and get the meeting minutes. Why? Because
Lotus gives you the space to put your own notes in meeting minutes!!! I
stopped using paper long ago. I just enter everything into the meeting
notes area and then it is searchable and can be made into project plans,
to-do's, other meetings, etc etc. Who needs stacks of paper you have
to sort through. Send it to me electronically. And no my mailfile
isn't even over 400MB, after 8 years. I keep it nice and clean thanks
before anyone makes some snide remark about how I must have a multi-GB
mailfile.
So there you have it, my thoughts on why
we should keep them. But don't get me wrong, this is a greatly
needed tool by many places, just not this one!
