Matt for your "Outlook" box, I would lead with "Email" and not "Group" since people get confused with the "Office 365 Groups" object in Azure AD, see this diagram as well: https://blogs.office.com/2017/04/06/whats-new-in-office-365-groups-for-april-2017/
- Also, explain to me how Skype has any interaction with Groups? I've seen none and your graphic doesn't actually show any real functional connection to Office 365 Groups. An article or two would be great to understand that.
- cfiessingerSince Office 365 Groups are objects in your global address list, you can initiate an ad-hoc IM or call with all the members using Skype for Business (we demoed this at Ignite 2015).
- I can't seem to find any documentation of this online. Outside of the general use of the word "group" to mean an ad-hoc Skype Group that a user makes themselves (which is not an Office 365 Group), the only notable thing I can find is a UserVoice request basically asking for this feature. Can you point me to some documentation that I can use as a source? A video of a demo from Ignite doesn't really cut it.
- I'll think about that. The fact that it's more than just email makes calling it "Outlook email" not accurate.
The issue at hand, though, with all due respect, is these are your terms. In fact, your mobile app is, verbatim, "Outlook Groups". If the parlance in the systems were clearer, so too would be the training.
We users are running with your language, even if there aren't enough words in it to correctly describe the entities.- cfiessingerGoing forward we refer to groups in Outlook, see this recent blog post about adding groups in Outlook to our iOS & Android app: https://blogs.office.com/2017/04/18/introducing-groups-in-outlook-for-mac-ios-and-android/
- Which seems to agree with what I'm saying. I'm not creating "an Outlook email", I'm creating "an Outlook Group", which comes with an inbox, calendar, and the rest of the typical Group apps. Am I missing something?
