Components Common to Team Folder Applications

Team Folder Templates


Team folder applications are customized, collaborative applications that can
manage workgroup and enterprise information. Team folders provide a Web-
style user interface, combined with the collaborative features of Outlook 2000
and Microsoft Exchange Server.
You can create team folder applications by using the Team Folders Wizard, in
combination with Outlook 2000 and Exchange Server. The Team Folders
Wizard is an extensible Component Object Model (COM) add-in for
Outlook 2000 that provides a simple user interface and set of collaborative
applications. The Team Folders Wizard requires no programming to create
applications for discussion groups, issue tracking, calendar sharing, and contact

and task tracking. In addition, the folder home pages created by the wizard offer
a great starting point for the customization of your own folder home pages.
Using the Team Folders Wizard is an easy way for users to create collaborative
applications without administrative assistance.
Slide Objective
To outline this topic.
Lead-in
Team Folder applications
enable you to quickly build
full-featured collaborative
solutions, without requiring
custom programming.
Delivery Tip
Reinforce the point that
Outlook 2000 team folder
applications are not
intended for some
administrative tasks (such
as creating public folders).
They are intended to be an
end-user tool. Clarify that
the administrator is typically
responsible for setting up
the Team Folders Wizard for
use by team leader(s).


Notifying Users About New Applications

Accessing Applications by Using Exchange Server

Controlling Application Data and Permissions


Team folder applications created by using the Team Folders Wizard,
Outlook 2000, and Exchange Server provide the benefits as listed in the
following text.
Sharing Information Among Workgroups
Because Team Folder applications exist within the Exchange Server public
folder infrastructure, these applications and the information they manage are
automatically shared among users in a workgroup or are replicated throughout
an enterprise. Administrators retain control over user access and level of
permissions.
Browsing a Web-like User Interface
Folder home pages provide users with a Web-like interface to collaborative
applications. Folder home pages can provide user assistance and display
summaries of application information. In addition, folder home pages provide
an intuitive interface to application features and commands.
Notifying Users About New Applications
Users can automatically be informed of a newly deployed application by an
embedded hyperlink in an e-mail message. This link can easily be added to their
Outlook Bar. Users can access applications by clicking the shortcut in the
Outlook Bar or from the Outlook 2000 folder list. They can also access

applications by using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Accessing Applications by Using Exchange Server
Users can access applications when they are offline by using Exchange Server.
Any changes made to information while offline is synchronized with Exchange
Server when the user goes back online. Application information can be
synchronized online in the background with optional filtered synchronization,
so that only relevant information takes up space on the user’s local hard disk.
Slide Objective
To describe the benefits of
developing team folder
applications.
Lead-in
Team folder applications
created by using Team
Folders Wizard,
Outlook 2000, and
Exchange Server offer many
benefits to developers.
4 Module 9: Creating Team Folder Applications


Controlling Application Data and Permissions
Administrators have control of application data backup and application access
permissions by using comprehensive Exchange Server administration tools.
Additionally, by using the team folder application interface, you can add new
team members only once and have the change propagate through all of the
folders in the application.

The Team Folders Wizard can be used to create seven different types of team
folder applications, with a template provided for each application. All of the
Team Folder templates share a set of features that provide a common
application infrastructure, such as an Administration page, folder home pages,
and a Welcome page.
Team Folder Administration Page
In each application, the following two template subfolders maintain

administrative information:

Team folder. This folder contains an Outlook 2000 contact item for each
member of the team using the application. The home page for this folder
enables the administrator to add new team members, send a mail message to
all of the team members, categorize team members, and so on.

Administration folder. This folder contains forms used to send messages or
to manage text displayed by the application home page. The folder home
page of the Administration folder is a wizard-like tool that the application’s
administrator (usually the user who created the team folder) uses to manage
the application.

Slide Objective
To list and describe the
common components in the
Team Folder template
applications.
Lead-in
The Team Folder template
applications automatically
provide the infrastructure to
help users navigate through
and use a team folder
application.
6 Module 9: Creating Team Folder Applications


Team Folder Home Pages
A folder home page guides users through the functions of the application and

provides easy access to Help and other resources. The top-level folder of a team
folder application contains a folder home page that functions as the home page
for the entire application. Additionally, each folder within the team folder
application contains its own folder home page with information that is specific
to the type of item that is contained there. Each folder home page contains:

Navigation links. The folder home page displays links at the top of the
browser window. The user can click the links to display the folder home
page for each folder within the application.

Show Me. The Show Me area lists a set of views for the items contained in
the folder. You can use these views or create your own custom views.

Find. You can use this feature to locate specific items within the folder.

Commands for creating new items. Each application enables users to create
three types of items:
• Default item for that application (for example, in the Team Tasks
application, create an Outlook 2000 task item).
• E-mail item to the application administrator.
• E-mail item to all team members.

Other application-specific commands. The folder home page displays
commands that are specific to the type of item stored in the folder. For
example, in the Team Calendar application, you can click Go to Today to
display the calendar for the current day.

The home page uses the Outlook view control to provide folder views and
access to the items in the subfolders. This control is available for use in other
Web pages as well as in Microsoft Visual Basic

®
or Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications forms.
Welcome Page
The Welcome page contains a message that welcomes users to the application
and can also provide a general overview of the team folder. You can use the
Top News area to keep users up-to-date on the team’s activities or to provide
other current information.
This page also contains links to general information about the application and a
list of resources where users can find more information about the application.
When you access the top-level folder of a Team Project application, the
Welcome page displays. When you access the top-level folder of any other
application, the folder home page displays. You can access the Welcome page
for these applications by clicking Home on the folder home page.

In addition to the Administration and Team folders that are common to all team
folder applications, each Team Folder Template contains folders that are
specific to the type of application that the template creates.
Team Project
The Team Project application contains a complete set of folders for a
collaborative project. All of the remaining team folder applications enable you
to create any of the subfolders of the Team Project application individually.
The Team Project application combines all of the following team folder
functions.
Team Contacts
By using the Team Contacts application, users can publish names, phone
numbers, addresses, and other information about customers, suppliers, partners,
or other people and organizations that are important to the team. You can view
contacts by displaying address cards, a list of all contacts, or a list of contacts
grouped by company, category, or city. You can also use an editable contacts
view.
Document Library
The Document Library application enables users to share documents by placing
them in a library available to all users. Users can view all documents or
documents grouped by author or category.
Team Tasks
By using the Team Tasks application, users can create a shared to-do list to help
team members coordinate their activities. Users can view their own tasks, all
tasks, or tasks grouped by owner or area.
Slide Objective
To list the Team Folder
Templates.
Lead-in

Approximately 75 percent of
all collaborative applications
can be built by using one of
the six Team Folder
Templates.
Delivery Tip
As you discuss each of the
Team Folder Templates,
show students how the
resulting team folder
application will appear by
showing a previously
created team folder
application.
8 Module 9: Creating Team Folder Applications


Team Calendar
By using the Team Calendar application, users can publish meetings and events
of interest to the team and send invitations to other team members so they can
add the meetings and events to their personal Outlook 2000 calendars. Users
can schedule appointments or team meetings and view the calendar for a single
day, a work week, a full week, or a full month.
Discussion Forum
The Discussion Forum application enables user to post messages that are linked
together as conversational threads. Users can post a message or reply to a
message. They can also view messages grouped by conversation or by sender,
all messages, unread messages, or unread messages grouped by conversation.

Invitation Form
Once a user creates a team folder by using one of the Outlook 2000 Team
Folders Templates, the user can send a message to team members that tells
them about the team folder and provides a button they can click to add a
shortcut to the team folder on the Outlook Bar. To prevent users from receiving
a warning about macros in the invitation message, the form must be published
in the Microsoft Exchange Server Organizational Forms Library. The Team
Folders Kit includes a personal folders file (Invite.pst) containing the form and
a utility (Vbinvite.exe) that a Microsoft Exchange Server administrator can run
to publish the form automatically.
Slide Objective
To list the components of
the Team Folders Kit.
Lead-in
The Team Folders Kit
contains an invitation form,

ActiveX controls, the Team
Folders Wizard Setup file,
and supporting
documentation.
Module 9: Creating Team Folder Applications 11


ActiveX Controls
The folder home pages of the Team Folders Templates use two ActiveX
controls, the Outlook view control and the Outlook 2000 Permissions Control.
By default, the folder home pages download these controls from the Microsoft
Web site at name
by means of an internal algorithm within Internet Explorer. However,
organizations in which users do not have access to the Internet can configure
the folder home pages to download the controls from a server on the
organization’s local area network. The Team Folders Kit includes .cab files
containing the controls and utility files (Codebase.bat and Codebase.ini) that are
used to specify the location of the source files.
Team Folders Wizard Setup
Before a team folder can be created, the user must install the Team Folders
Wizard and the Team Folders Templates. Team Folders Wizard Setup is a self-
contained executable file (Oltfwiz.exe) that a user can run from a network share
or receive as an e-mail attachment.
Supporting Documentation
Documentation includes the Team Folders Deployment and Customization
Guide, the Microsoft Outlook View Control Programmer’s Reference, and the
Microsoft Outlook Permissions Control Programmer’s Reference. This
documentation is located in the Docs folder of the Team Folders Kit installation
directory. The installation folder also contains a Readme file, which includes
information that was developed too late to be included in the guide.

Preparing the Network Servers

Publishing the Invitation Form

Making Team Folders Wizard Setup Files Available to
Users

Running the Team Folders Wizard Setup Without User
Intervention


To prepare the network servers to support Team Folder Wizard deployment and
use by users, you must make the invitation form, Team Folders Wizard Setup
files, and other supporting files available on these servers.
Publishing the Invitation Form
When users create a team folder application, they can send out an Invitation
form to team members. This form tells the members about the team folder and
provides a button to click to add a shortcut to the Outlook Bar. To make this
form available in the Organizational Forms Library, run the Vbinvite.exe file.
Making Team Folders Wizard Setup Files Available to

Users
The location where users typically download components determines where
you should place the Team Folders Wizard Setup and supporting files. If your
network users can download software from the Internet, no special steps are
required, and any Outlook 2000 user should be able to use the team folders
created by the Team Folders Wizard. When a user visits a team folder for the
first time, the folder home page downloads the ActiveX control it requires
directly from the Microsoft Web site at
name
If the users who will run Team Folders Wizard cannot download ActiveX
controls from the Internet, you must make the controls required by team folders
available on your intranet.
Slide Objective
To describe the steps
required to prepare the
network servers for
deploying and using the
Team Folders Wizard.
Lead-in
Preparing the network
servers involves publishing
the invitation form in the
Organization Forms Library
and making Team Folders
Wizard Setup and
supporting files available to
users.
Module 9: Creating Team Folder Applications 15

To make files required by the Team Folders Wizard available on an intranet:
1. Copy the following files from the folder created by Team Folders Kit Setup
to a shared folder on your network:
• Oltfwiz.exe
• Oltfacl.cab
• Outlctlx.cab
• Codebase.bat
• Codebase.inf
2. Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the file Codebase.inf in the shared
folder and change the string that follows ControlsURL= to the fully
qualified network path or Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the shared
folder.
For example, if you placed these files in a shared directory named
Downloads on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT
®
Server named
\\Toolsrvr, you would change the statement to the following:
ControlsURL = "\\Toolsrvr\Downloads\"

3. Instruct those users you want to be able to create team folders projects how
to run Codebase.bat from the shared location. For example, you could send
interested users an e-mail message containing a shortcut to the shared file.
When users run Codebase.bat, it installs the Team Folders Wizard and
configures folder home pages that load their controls from your intranet
location.

Running the Team Folders Wizard Setup Without User
Intervention
You can instruct the Team Folders Wizard Setup to run without requiring
intervention by the user. Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the file

Codebase.bat in the shared folder and add the /q switch to the line that runs the
Team Folders Wizard Setup application, as shown in the following example.
Oltfwiz.exe /q

Customizing the Default Installation Addresses

Creating a Registry Entry File

Using the Codebase.bat File to Import .reg File Entries
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook
\Addins\Microsoft.OLTeamFolderWizard]

Folders\\All Public Folders\\Users\\Team Folders"
"DefaultTargetURL"="http://TeamFolderServer"
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook
\Addins\Microsoft.OLTeamFolderWizard]
"DefaultTargetFolder"="\\\\Public
Folders\\All Public Folders\\Users\\Team Folders"
"DefaultTargetURL"="http://TeamFolderServer"
regedit /s DefaultPaths.reg
regedit /s DefaultPaths.reg


If you set aside a specific Microsoft Exchange Server public folder or Web
server folder for creating team folders, you can easily provide the addresses of

those locations as the default addresses in the Team Folders Wizard. This will
help prevent users from specifying invalid paths for these locations. You set
these default paths in the wizard by setting entries in the registry.
If you are using the Custom Installation Wizard (CIW) to install the Team
Folders Wizard as part of an Office 2000 or Outlook 2000 rollout, you can use
the CIW to set these registry entries. Otherwise, you can create a registry entry
(.reg) file that you can distribute to users.
Creating a Registry Entry File
The registry settings for the default file locations are located at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\
Microsoft.OLTeamFolderWizard.
To designate the default public folder, specify the path of the public folder as a
string value named DefaultTargetFolder. To designate the default Web server,
specify the URL of the server as a string value named DefaultTargetURL.
Slide Objective
To show how to use a
registry entry file to
customize the default
installation address for the
Team Folders Wizard.
Lead-in
You can use registry entries
to set the path for default
addresses in the Team
Folders Wizard.
Module 9: Creating Team Folder Applications 17


For example, a .reg file that sets the default public folder to \\Public Folders\
All Public Folders\Users\Team Folders and the default Web server to

http://TeamFolderServer would contain the following lines:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
\Microsoft.OLTeamFolderWizard]
"DefaultTargetFolder"="\\\\Public
Folders\\All Public Folders\\Users\\Team Folders"
"DefaultTargetURL"="http://TeamFolderServer"


The backslash character (\) is used as an escape character by the Registry
Editor; consequently, to be interpreted properly, it must be doubled when it
appears inside string values in the .reg file.

Using the Codebase.bat File to Import .reg File Entries
If you are using Codebase.bat to set the location from which the team folders
ActiveX controls are to be downloaded, you can add a line to the beginning of
Codebase.bat to import the settings of the .reg file before running Team Folders
Wizard Setup (Oltfwiz.exe). To import settings from a .reg file to the registry,
use a command line in the batch file as shown in the following example:
regedit /s DefaultPaths.reg
