Along with E-mail and instant messages, the Web-based software will organize all types of content. For instance, it's designed to route E-mails into folders as they arrive.
New features were feverishly being added in preparation for the launch. For example, a pop-up window will alert users when a new task, document or e-mail arrives. A feature also will allow Foldera users to work offline in an F-Drive folder. Lusk said when the machine reconnects online, the application synchronizes to the server and uploads the data.
The application suite offers mashups, which combines content from more than one source to create a seamless experience. They tap into application program interfaces (APIs) from Mapquest. When the cursor rolls over an address a pop-up window appears, with help from Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax).
Ajax integrated throughout the application allows users to view the folder's content without opening it. Dragging a cursor over an entry on any calendar day provides information on who created the meeting, for example. "FedEx is publishing an API, so if someone sends you an e-mail with a FedEx number, you can run your mouse over the e-mail to get the data on where the package is located," Lusk said. "We'll also host the mail exchange record."
