FirstClass Applications

Mail

The Mail application is the foundation application of FirstClass. It is required for all users. The mail application is used for sending mail internally within the system including to conferences. A copy of all sent messages is stored in the user's mailbox.

Calendar

Users can use their FirstClass calendars for scheduling events. If a group calendar is needed, users should submit a ticket to the MBS Help Desk.

Contacts

All users have a personal Contacts folder on their Desktops. A user can address mail to anyone in his Contacts folder the same way he does for anyone listed in the Directory.

Documents

The new Documents application is available to all users. Users can use this application to create and store FirstClass documents.

File Storage

The new File Storage application is available to all users. It provides a convenient location for storing computer files such as spreadsheets, photos, music, video clips and so on.

Trash Can

When users delete objects or have objects that expire these objects will appear in the Trash Can for 7 days. Users can undelete items from the Trash Can, or can drag items from the Trash Can to other folders on their Desktops, thereby undeleting the item.

Conferences

All users have access to selected, appropriate conferences. Additionally, Teachers may create conferences for their classes. Please see MBS Technology inside the Faculty / Staff Conference for Tips on how to do this.

Workspaces

A workspace is a user-created space that can be used for a wide range of activities such as managing projects and activities, sharing files and documents and so on.

Instant Messaging

This is a feature that is not available to students for personal use; however, teachers may create Chats in which students may participate.

Web Publishing

Users can easily create a personal web site including regular web pages, blogs, and even podcasts in this folder. Content created here can be rendered directly to the web. Please see Mrs. Napholtz, the FirstClass Administrator, for details.

Bookmarks

Users can use the Bookmarks application to store, manage, and user internal and external bookmarks/favorites. This feature allows you to access your personal bookmarks from any computer that is connected to the Internet. Simply use the web login to First Class and click on the desired Bookmark in your own personal Bookmarks folder.

Help

This Help application provides a set of help files that explain many of the basic tasks FirstClass users will want to perform. Users can access the Help contents by choosing Help > Help contents, or by pressing F1 at any time within FirstClass. The Help application is available to all users at all times.
