前景 vs 前景 Web应用

哪个适合你?

前景桌面客户端(前景) provides access to advanced features and options for e-mail, calendaring, and tasks. 前景网页应用程式(OWA) is an online version of the desktop client which provides access to a large subset of the features available in the desktop client. 哪一个适合你?  

OWA offers basic functionality for email, calendar, contacts, and tasks as well as access to OneDrive (storage) and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online.  通过利用这些 online apps along with OneDrive, you will quickly have access to all of your documents and information from anywhere in the world as long as you have access to the Internet. Mobile devices can also be configured to directly access your Office 365 account using the available apps in the Apple Store or Google Play.  Our students and adjunct faculty 主要使用 OWA to access their mail and most BristolCC faculty and staff will find OWA a suitable replacement for the desktop client that can greatly improve access to information.

The 前景 Web应用 is the perfect tool if you... 

• manage your own mail and calendar
• schedule appointments for yourself or meetings with others using the schedule assistant
• need access to your account on-the-go
• want seamless access to all Office 365 features, including OneDrive (cloud storage)
• would like to have the same look and feel regardless of where you access your email
• rely on alerts via your phone for meetings and appointments and not via pop-ups on 桌面系统
  
  

前景 must be installed on your computer or laptop and configured to your Office 365 account.  The desktop client is only accessible from the machine on which it is installed. It does have some advanced features that some users may need access to and in certain 案例是比解决方案更好的 OWA. One important note is that because of the way it was originally designed 前景 does currently experience issues with slow performance and occasional hanging that OWA 没有经历过.

The 前景 Desktop Client may be beneficial if you...

• manage a department email account or someone else’s email account
• need access to a department calendar or manage others’ calendars
• schedule complex meetings on a regular basis (i.e. recurring) with large numbers of 人 
• copy and paste email lists from Excel into messages or to create contact groups
• frequently do mail merges with Excel files to send email to large groups
• manage the workflow of others (i.e. 学生雇员)使用任务
• use keyboard shortcuts extensively (only a limited number are available in OWA)
• have a visual challenge that requires greater contrast
• do not need seamless access to OneDrive (cloud storage)

You will always have access to your Office 365 account through the Internet and the 前景 Web应用. Also, you may choose to use the desktop client for some functions 并为其他人使用网络应用程序.  Actions performed in the desktop client (such as replying to email and scheduling appointments) are reflected in the 前景 Web应用 反之亦然.

In ITS a few of us have completely migrated to OWA，其他人仍然使用 前景, and others are using some combination of the two. If you would like to take advantages of all the things Office 365 has to offer and just need access to basic email/calendar functionality we encourage you to try OWA. It is easily accessible via the college web page or from within the portal. 在 other hand, if the functionality of your job is better aided by 前景 或者你只是喜欢使用 前景 you can continue using it and just enjoy all the extra space.

In order to do this you have two choices. 你可以使用 email app that comes natively with your mobile device or you can download the 前景 app that is available via the Apple App Store or Google play depending on your device.
