   There's an option, which we're actually using today. MS Exchange has a feature called Outlook Web Access (aka Outlook Web App). Once your Exchange Admin enable it; you will be able to access the email via Web link (vs Outlook). We paste this Web link to our Side Panel so that the user can call up the email whenever it's needed. It blend it quite well with NWBC ..

Wow! I didn't know that. Because we don't officially support it, I haven't ever tested it.

OK - I've marked your answer correct Damean - hope it works well for you Kathy.

   This Outlook feature is called "Outlook Web Access" and typically has be set by somebody with the Microsoft  Exchange Administrator security privilege. There's just way too many variations in Exchange for me to explain here ... for further info, see the MS Knowledge Article below:

   Regrettably, we have migrated away from Outlook to Gmail; so I lost most of my documentation. 

   Anyway, there're multiple way that this could be achieved. The easiest way is to asked your MS Exchange\Outlook to enable the the " Outlook Web Access" function.  Once that's done, all you need to do is just to add the HTTP address for the Outlook Web access function to NWBC (E.g. using PFCG Role; or using your static Side Panel)

  The other way to achieve this is using BSP or other 3rd Party portlets (see Julie's discussion below).

HI Naresh,

1) You should be able to use a Web chip. You don't need a specific WD app. (Each Side Panel app. is a separate  configuration of a WD app (WDR_CHIP_PAGE or similar, ims).

3) You can only view side panel in a SAP gui transaction or WDA application, not in an Index Page. Theis is because a side panel usually displays _contextual_ information, specific to the data in the main app. In the indexpage, there is no main app.

AT preesnt, index pages are not flexible. However, in a future release, we will be offering a choice of "home" or "index" pages - eg Page Builder entry page. Since these use the same chips as side panels, you may be able to achieve the desired result using Page Builder.

Hope this helps, Julie

Hi Kathy,

I was able to make this work using the following portlet:

- then scroll down till you find "Microsoft Outlook - Email" or similar.

Please note, however, that this is 3rd-party, so we can't provide any support for it.

Best wishes;
Julie.

I am sorry, Kathy. This is not supported in NWBC 4.0.

Best wishes,

Julie Plummer.
