8.1 Types of Accessories

Novell Teaming accessories make your work easier by making the most useful information more accessible and easy to consume.

Depending on your goals, you might decide to use any of the following Teaming accessories:

8.1.1 Search Results

The Search Results accessory enables you to configure a search, then apply that search to any Teaming page that you desire, across the entire site or only on the page where the accessory is displayed.

8.1.2 Workspace Tree

The Workspace Tree accessory enables you to display a customized Workspace tree. Unlike the main Workspace tree, you can configure the Workspace Tree accessory to start on any workspace that you desire.

8.1.3 Formatted Text (HTML Editor)

The Formatted Text accessory enables you to use the HTML editor to compose a message and display it in the Accessory Panel.

8.1.4 Embedded Web Page (iframe)

The Embedded Web Page accessory enables you to display any Web page as an accessory in a workspace or folder. For example, if a team you are working on often refers to a specific Web site, you could create an Embedded Web Page accessory in the team workspace, so team members don’t need to navigate separately to the Web site.

8.1.5 Buddy List

The Buddy List accessory enables you to specify certain Teaming users with whom you communicate often, so you can quickly contact them by using their Presence icon, or access their workspaces by clicking a linked name.

8.1.6 Team Members

The Team Members accessory enables you to display all members of the team in the folder or workspace where you currently are.

8.1.7 Photo Gallery

The Photo Gallery accessory enables you to display photos from any Photo Album that you desire.

8.1.8 Blog Summary

The Blog Summary accessory enables you to synchronize the Teaming Blog folders of your choice, and display them in a single, summarized Blog folder in the Accessory Panel.

8.1.9 Guestbook

The Guestbook accessory enables you to use the Accessory Panel to display the contents of a Guestbook folder. Unlike other accessories, such as the Calendar Summary and Task Summary, you can display the contents of only one Guestbook folder in each Guestbook accessory.

8.1.10 Task Summary

The Task Summary accessory enables you to synchronize the Teaming Task folders of your choice, and display them in a single, summarized task list in the Accessory Panel. This eliminates the need to check multiple Task folders. You can display tasks that are assigned to specific users, groups, or teams.

For more information, see Synchronizing the Teaming Task Folders of Your Choice and Section 6.11.5, Viewing All Tasks That Are Assigned to a Specific Team, Group, or Individual User.

8.1.11 Wiki Home Page

The Wiki Home Page accessory enables you to display the wiki home page of any Wiki folder (Wiki Topic) as an accessory.

For information on how to set a wiki home page for a wiki topic, see Setting a Wiki Home Page.

8.1.12 Calendar Summary

The Calendar Summary accessory enables you to synchronize the Teaming calendars of your choice, and display them in a single, summarized calendar in the Accessory Panel. This eliminates the need to check multiple calendars.

For more information, see Section 6.3.2, Synchronizing Teaming Calendars of Your Choice.

8.1.13 Remote Application

The Remote Application accessory enables you to add a remote application as an accessory, if the application has been enabled by your administrator.

For more information on remote applications, see Section 2.13, Using Remote Applications.
