Administration - new features

This topic describes the new administration features.

Inbox maintenance -- Use the Inbox maintenance feature to improve server performance by reducing the size of users' Inboxes in mail files.
Out of Office column in IBM^® Lotus^® Domino^® Administrator client and in Web Administrator client -- View out of office status, that is, who is using the out of office service and is currently out of the office. The Out of Office column displays the word Yes for those users.
Web Administration Server Bookmarks -- Use the Web Administration Server Bookmarks features to connect to any remote administration console to administer specific servers from a single administration interface. For example, you can use this feature for IBM^® WebSphere^® and IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal administration, as well as IBM^® Lotus^® Quickr^™, IBM^® Lotus^® Sametime^®, or third-party software administration.
Domino and Portal server federated administration -- You can administer an IBM Lotus Domino 8.x server and an IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal server 6.0 or 6.0.0.1 from the Portal server administration user interface (UI) on the same Portal server.
Using update site controls with feature install and update -- New server-managed settings have been added to the Domino Administrator server Configuration Settings document. These options enable the administrator to control how the Eclipse update manager feature installs and updates features and composite applications in the Notes client.
NSF-based update site template enhancements -- This release contains several enhancements to the Eclipse Update Site (8) template (UPDATESITE.NTF) introduced in IBM^® Lotus^® Notes^® 8.0.
Notes Widgets and Live Text functionality access and catalog application, template, and policy settings -- A new Widgets catalog application, and its Widget Catalog (8), template (TOOLBOX.NTF), are introduced in this release. The administrator can control user access to Widgets and Live Text functionality and Notes Live Text using Domino Desktop policy settings or PLUGIN_CUSTOMIZATION.INI file settings. As well, the administrator can create the server-managed widget catalog using a new template (TOOLBOX.NTF) and control catalog access using policy or preferences and standard ACLs. See the "Introducing Notes Widgets and Live Text" release note and the Widgets and Live Text section of the Domino 8.0.1 (and greater) Administrator infocenter at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp.
