Hi, this is Chris from VitaminCM.com. And today were going to talk about using Zoho Applications to create an integrated online office wee. When you go to Zoho.com you'll notice they have a number of applications available so there is email, word processors, spreadsheets, presentation tools, then there is a document manager, you have notebooks you can create wiki if you want, planning software if you notice there are some business applications some of this you have to pay to use, some of them have limited use. There is tons of different applications available, so what I'm going to do is sign in. when you sign in you'll notice they have a pretty nice interface so its signs into mail initially. I don’t really use the email I prefer g-mail but you can see there is folders just like you’d see in any email application.
They have a calendar application were you can put appointments on and things like that. Documents if you want to look at any of your saved documents that you have in the system you can create documents here, you can upload documents from your computer, there is even a nice Microsoft office plugged in, so you can just send document directly from Microsoft office to your Zoho account.
Desktop writer, so if you go to writer it would be creating a word processing documents and you could they have a nice interface full of options pretty typical similar to word or open office or Google documents whatever you prefer. So there is number of really great applications built in but what is even more impressive is the fact that you can plugged different applications, third party applications directly into this inner phase.
So let's say instead of using their mail program I wanted to use g-mail or Google calendar or something I could click here and it would load Google calendar right into the inner phase. Or I could click again and load in for instance my instant messaging software so I'm using Nebo online. And it loads up the instant messaging software right up into the middle of their inner phase. If I wanted to use say twitter I could just click that and it will pull up twitter right into the inner phase I could just sign in and start using it.
So if I want to add in an extra application, I just go down to this add ups button give a title for my application. So I'm going to add in ever note because I like that as oppose to Zoho’s note taking application, so I will type the title of the application, I’ll paste in the URL. If I want to choose an icon I can, I’ll just click okay and accept the one they give me. And that’s it you see it’s successfully added, so if I click more and then I select ever note it loads ever note in the middle of the application and I have all my information there. And I just as easily then click to something else like spreadsheet and load that up. You can also hide the navigator bar, so you just click that, click it again and bring it back. So that’s how you would be able to use the Zoho office wee to have all their applications as well as any other applications that you need.
