Interacting with the Application Using Outlook Today

Users have a secondary way to interact with the Account Tracking application—through a customized Outlook Today page. Outlook Today, a feature that takes advantage of the HTML support in Outlook, allows users to view all their information in one HTML window rather than as separate modules. You can also customize Outlook Today’s HTML code to display your Outlook or intranet information in a single window view.

When customized for the Account Tracking application, Outlook Today allows users to create new accounts, find account contacts, and open the Account Tracking folder to see how many accounts, tasks, and contacts it contains. The customized Outlook Today page is shown in Figure 8-12.
