End of year - 2007

Been very busy creating tools for Groove.  They will ship very soon.

 And, I have a new set of demonstrator tools. They are intended as add-ons to Groove 2007.

Tree view of Groove workspaces

A simple tool that enables you to catalog workspaces, tools and views into views so the user can easy and quickly access the information. Essentially, removes the need for the Groove Launchbar.

This can be implemented with a Groove Tool or as a standalone application.

XML Handler for Groove Form Data

A set of functions to enable a developer to create XML formatted output from a record (within a forms application) and then read the XML formatted record from within another Groove forms application or Groove Web Services application.

This makes reading data SO easy.  If the design changes in the source design, the XML parser will handle the change and ease the migration of tool solutions.  See link.

Microsoft Contact Tool - Add-in functionality

We have a number of add-in functions and views to the Contact Tool shipped by Microsoft.

1. My Favorites - You can create a sub-set of Contacts that are private to yourself. So, you can have a list of the people you often contact/refer to.
2. Common Favorites - You can create a sub-set of Contact that are listed in a view across all the members to workspace/tool. Useful, for departments and business where you need a contact list that is shared.
3. Private Contacts - You can create records that are PRIVATE to you.  This is uber cool.  Means you can add a contact that no-one can access (within the constraints of the Groove data security model).

See the screen shots to see the additional functionality. 

1. My favorites and common favorites.  These are accessed via views. See picture.
2. Private contacts.  The additional tab in the Contact Tool. See picture.
