Understanding the Email Pagelet and Calendar Events Pagelet

PeopleSoft Interaction Hub offers homepage pagelets that enable users to access email and calendar information without leaving the portal. The portal administrator sets up a default mail system and can also (optionally) enable external Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) mail systems. Users then configure their own homepage Email pagelet and Calendar Events pagelet with their IDs and passwords. If multiple mail systems are enabled, users can include mail from multiple systems on their Email pagelet.

Because the Email pagelet and Calendar Events pagelet share the same integration technology, users need to install and set up these pagelets only once. For the homepage, however, users must separately select each pagelet that is to be included.

Email Integration

The Email pagelet displays a list of the latest email messages. If the email system is web-enabled, users can navigate to that email system from a link on the pagelet. Integrations are delivered for these servers:

  • Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).

  • Lotus Domino.

  • Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007.

  • Post Office Protocol (POP).

In the Email pagelet, you can have one primary external email system: an IMAP, Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange, or POP server. In addition, POP-enabled mail can also be used as a secondary email system.

Calendar Integration

The Calendar Events pagelet displays appointments for the current day. Integrations are delivered for:

  • Lotus Domino.

  • Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007.

Instant Messaging

Users that are utilizing instant messaging functionality will need to have an instant messaging client installed on the machine from which they’re accessing the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub product.
