Which web browsers are supported for the Connectbeam Toolbar?
The Connectbeam Collective Search Toolbar is supported on Windows XP for the IE 6 and 7 web browsers.
What is the Connectbeam Bookmarklet?
The Connectbeam Bookmarklet is a light-weight tool that you can install onto your web browser. It enables you to bookmark and tag pages, which are accessible from your web browser, into your Connectbeam Spotlight appliance for the purposes of collecting and sharing information with others in your enterprise.
What is the difference between the popup and non-popup versions of the Connectbeam Bookmarklet?
If you wish to use the Connectbeam Bookmarklet to tag and bookmark web pages, there are two versions of the bookmarklet available to you. The popup version will "pop up" the bookmarklet in a new window, while the page you are saving remains in its original window. The non-popup version will navigate you away from the page and to the bookmarklet on your Connectbeam Application. When you complete the save operation, the browser will navigate back to the original page that you have saved. The main advantage of the non-popup bookmarklet is that it is not affected by any popup blockers installed on your web browser.
How do I uninstall the toolbar?
The toolbar can be uninstalled from your computer’s "Add or Remove Programs" application. To access this application, click on start and select Add or Remove Programs. If you do not see Add or Remove Programs in the start menu, then you may first need to select Settings.
How do I find people/experts?
You can discover experts directly by entering keywords in the search box and then selecting People for the search type. The keywords are used to search against the name, email id, expertise, interests and projects of every user in the Connectbeam system.
Why are all my tags displayed in lower case?
Connectbeam stores and displays all tags in lower case for a number of reasons. When looking at a tag cloud, a seldom used tag in all capital letters may easily stand out more than a tag that was in lower case yet applied many more times in the system. Also, having mixed cases for identical tags would make each version unnecessarily unique (ex. Aeronautics would be separate from aeronautics). Moreover, we feel that utilizing all lower-case tags promotes simplicity and reduces complexity.
