Virto Calendar enables users to view all of their events from different SharePoint lists in one single calendar. Virto Ajax Calendar surpasses the existing SharePoint calendar view's functionality by allowing users to specify the list or view, color code the displayed items by category of events such as internal or external, view day, week, month, year, and Gantt view.

Virto Web Part Calendar for SharePoint also provides users with the ability to create any new event with just a single click! Included with Virto are editing features that will make working with SharePoint easy and pleasant. If you need to change the date of the event, simply drag and drop it to the appropriate calendar cell.

Virto Web Part Calendar also supports MOSS Audience Targeting. This is an easy way to distinguish information between your different departments. Users who do not belong to this audience will not see the Items from this data source on their calendar page. Optional Tooltip is another useful feature of the Virto web part Calendar. It allows the user to get a quick preview of any additional information of the SharePoint Event, e.g., Title, Time, Location, Description and any field you wish, including attached images preview.

Virto Calendar is built on Ajax technology and is designed for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. Installation is simple and only requires a small amount of time. Currently, Virto supports English, German, Spanish, French, Russian and Chinese Simplified languages.

Virto Password Changer Web Part for SharePoint 2007 enables Active Directory (AD) users and users with general accounts (FBAP) to change their passwords when they are logged onto a SharePoint Site. This web part is helpful if there are a lot of AD accounts in your system, and users need to change their passwords from time to time due to security or other reasons. Remote AD users can also change passwords without any difficulties.

With Virto Password Changer the system administrator does not need to change all the passwords manually anymore. He just adds the web part to his intranet or extranet SharePoint Portal. Then authorized users can easily manage their passwords without the administrator's help. When a user requests the web part the system automatically determines the category, the user belongs to -- Active Directory or other Form Based Authentication Provider (FBAP). Then the user types his old password and a new one. The web part transfers this data to AD or other FBAP base, and the new password is saved in the database. In case a user has advanced rights, he can change not only his own password but other users' passwords as well. It is also possible to publish password requirements in the web part. If a user types an incorrect old password, or his password does not meet the requirements, a warning message will be displayed.

Virto Active Directory User Service is a web part that allows the current user to view and edit their own Active Directory data through SharePoint (MOSS 2007). This option is not supported by standard SharePoint Tools.

After the web part is added to the site, its users can change their User Profile Info data, and all changes will be transferred to Active Directory, and from Active Directory Data Base to MOSS and WSS User Profile Records. When the SharePoint user logs in, Virto Web Part Active Directory defines login user and domain, transfers their information from Active Directory to SharePoint and displays it on the page. According to the settings defined for web part users by the administrator, a user can edit displayed information. In this case the changes will be sent to Active Directory and the message about successful operation will be displayed.

Using Virto Active Directory User Service you can collect information from Active Directory for current SharePoint user, display this data in the site page, allow users to modify the information fields and save these modifications in the Active Directory. The ability of field values changing is defined by the administrator ((Edit, Read Only, and Don't Show).

Virto Active Directory User Service Web Part for SharePoint is designed only for MOSS 2007. If you install the web part to a WSS site, you can also change the data in the user profile, but the data will not be transferred to the AD. This means data exchange between the AD and WSS user profile is not supported. This will be implemented in future releases.

Allow SharePoint users to change passwords, set up SharePoint Alerts & Notifications, view and edit personal Active Directory data and collect all events into single Calendar View.
