Modules for Group-Office
Group-Office is a modular system. It can be extended with modules. A module is a program that works with the Group-Office framework, Currently the following modules are implemented:

Addressbook
The addressbook is not just an addressbook. You can create templates for both E-mail messages and OpenOffice.org templates. By linking the addressbook to these templates you can fill those documents automatically with address info and automatically generated beginnings such a dear sir Smith. With these templates it's possible to create mailing lists. It's also possible to create custom fields for your own personal requirements. Companies are separated from the contacts for easy administration and a quick overview of
employees.
Template system
With this system it's possible to create templates for E-mail and OpenOffice.Org. The templates can contain datafields from the addressbook.
Additionally mailing groups can be created to make maintaining newsletters extremely easy. You can add contacts and companies to the lists or select the mailing lists directly from the contact or company's screen.
Custom fields
You can easily add extra tabs with custom fields to the contact page. You can specify read and write permissions per tab. So you can put more sensitive information apart from the standard fields. The custom fields are also searchable from the standard Group-Office interface.

Filesystem
The filesystem module is used to store your personal files online and share them if you want with other users.
It looks like the filemanager people would expect. You can easily cut, paste and copy files to different directories that you can access by a treeview. Sharing files online with your relations was never easier. By creating Samba shares to the files and the upcoming webDAV support this filemanger is very easy to enroll in an existing filesystem.

In a corporate environment a calendar can't be missed. This calendar allows you to plan all sorts of recurring events and set reminders for them. The easy to use interface will never let you miss an event. It's easy to set up multiple calendars and share them with other users. The calendar supports the import and export of the popular iCalendar standard. This makes it possible to synchronise the Group-Office calendar with other calendar software that support the iCalendar protocol.
