GroupWise is a fully integrated application that enables you to send electronic messages, maintain a schedule of activities, create tasks, maintain document libraries, handle telephone calls, and much more. It has a variety of options to help you work more efficiently and communicate more effectively.
The electronic messaging feature provides you with many options for communicating with other GroupWise users as well as users of other e-mail systems. You can attach files to messages, as well as reply to, forward, track, and retract messages. You can read the messages of others, send messages on their behalf, and have others send messages on your behalf. GroupWise also provides alternatives for managing your mailbox, such as creating folders and archiving messages.

d Discussion
GroupWise enables you to communicate with other GroupWise users, as well as users of other e-mail systems. When you create a message, you address the message, type the content, attach any files, and then send the message.
You can format the message text, track your message to see when it was delivered and opened, retract a message sent in error, and save a draft message to complete later.
When addressing a GroupWise message, you type the last names of intended recipients in the To, CC, and/or BC boxes. You enter the names of the primary message recipients in the To box, and names of the people you want copied on the message in the CC and/or BC boxes. The names in the CC (carbon copy) box are visible to all recipients; the names in the BC (blind copy) box are not. When you send a blind copy, only you and the blind copy recipient are aware that a blind copy was sent.
As you address a message, GroupWise uses a feature called Name Completion to identify the intended recipient. GroupWise searches the available address books after each character is typed to find a matching entry and then completes the name for you. ONCE THE DESIRED NAME APPEARS, YOU CAN PRESS THE [ENTER] KEY AND CONTINUE ADDING NAMES TO THE ADDRESS LIST FOR THE CURRENT BOX.
When you send a message, GroupWise confirms that the message is delivered to the recipient(s). If the address of one recipient is not valid, GroupWise delivers the message to any other recipient and lets you know there is a problem.

You may need or want to reply to a mail message. Instead of creating a new message, you can reply while in the message and include the original message in your reply.
When you create a reply, you choose whether to reply only to the sender or to all recipients of the original message. GroupWise then automatically completes the appropriate address boxes. The text Re: is inserted before the subject text from the original message. You can change the recipients and the subject text, if desired.
By default, GroupWise inserts the original message text into the Message box of your reply. Additional text detailing the original sender’s name and the date and time the message was sent will appear above the message text.
You can add text before the original message text, after it, or within it. If you include comments within the text of the original message, you may want to color or bold the new text to help the recipient distinguish your revisions from the original.

You may need to send information contained in a file, such as a spreadsheet, to another user. Instead of copying and pasting the contents of the file into your message, which you cannot always do, you can attach a file to a message. When you attach a file to a message in GroupWise, you are actually sending a copy of the file. Once the message is opened, the recipient can view, open, print, and save the document as desired.
When you attach a file, an icon representing the file appears in the attachment area near the bottom of the window. The image on the icon refers to the application on your computer in which the file will open. A generic icon appears when a corresponding application is not installed on the recipient’s computer or your computer is unsure of application that will open the file.

You may receive a message that has a file attached to it, indicated by a paper clip icon to the left of the item in the Item List. To quickly scan the contents of the file, you can view the attachment. You can view an attachment even when you do not have compatible software to open it.
Near the top of the View Attachment window, you will notice icons representing the currently selected attachment, any other attachments, and the message itself. You can view the contents of each by selecting the icons. You also can print and save attachments from the View Attachment window.
Since the file is not actually open, formatting may appear different than expected. If this happens, you can open the attachment using the application in which it was created, if available, or a compatible one.

Viewing an attachment
|
|
|
|
o |
If someone forwards you a message that originally had an attachment, the attachment will not appear as a separate icon in the attachment area. To view it, you would open the message you just received and double-click the icon representing the forwarded message.

d Discussion
You may want to open an attachment, rather than view it, to more accurately see how it was formatted, or to edit or save the contents. To open a file, your computer must have or know the application in which the file was created or a compatible application.
Different kinds of file attachments are represented by different icons. The icons indicate the application on your computer in which the file will be opened. For instance, a spreadsheet will have a different icon than a word processing document. When you open an attachment, the file will automatically open into the program referenced by the icon.
If GroupWise cannot determine which program should be used to open the file, the attachment will be represented by a generic icon and GroupWise will ask you for the path to a compatible program. Even if you cannot open a file, you can still view it.

You can save an attachment as a separate file when you view or open it. Having a copy of an attachment is important if you want to work with the file when GroupWise is not open. When you save an attachment, the original attachment remains unchanged.
After the attachment is saved, you can open the file and make any desired changes without opening GroupWise. If you want to distribute the file after you have made changes to it, you must attach it to a new message from the new location. If you simply forward the message containing the original attachment, your changes will not be included.

You may begin a message and realize that you need additional information or do not have enough time to complete it. You can save the message as a draft. Later, when you are ready to complete the draft message, you can open it, add additional information, and send it.
Although you can store draft messages in other folders, the Work In Progress folder is the default location for incomplete messages. A draft message is indicated by a pencil icon to the left of the item in the Item List. When you send a draft message, it moves from where it was stored to the Sent Items folder.

You can use the Spell Checker to check the spelling of a message. The Spell Checker looks for words that are not found in the Spell Checker dictionary. If an unrecognized word is misspelled, you can correct it in the Writing Tools dialog box or in the message itself. The Spell Checker only checks the contents of the Message box.
Some words identified by the Spell Checker may actually be correct. If a word is correct, but identified because it was not found in the Spell Checker dictionary, you can add it to your dictionary. This method is a useful way of handling proper names, such as the name of a person or street. You may also use the Skip Once or Skip Always buttons to skip the word once or skip all occurrences of the word in that message only.

You may need to find a message or find all items that meet certain search criteria. The Find feature enables you to use a variety of search techniques, either exclusively or in conjunction with other search options, so that your search can be as refined or as expansive as desired.
For example, in any box that accepts text, you can use terms that specify how GroupWise looks for multiple keywords. The following table discusses some of the refining terms:
|
Term |
Description |
|
AND |
This term finds all items that meet two or more conditions. For instance, if you type WSG staffing or WSG and staffing, GroupWise looks for items containing both WSG and staffing. |
|
OR |
This term finds all items that meet one of the conditions. For instance, if you type WSG or staffing, GroupWise looks for items containing the words WSG or staffing, |
|
NOT |
This term finds all items containing one condition but not the other. For instance, if you type WSG not staffing, GroupWise looks for items containing the word WSG but not containing the word staffing. |
|
“” |
This term finds all items containing the text within the quotations. For instance, if you type “WSG staffing”, GroupWise looks for items containing that exact phrase. |
|
* |
This term finds all items containing the desired text plus any missing characters represented by the asterisk. For instance, if you type staff*, GroupWise looks for items containing the words staff, staffing, and staffed. |
You will need to use the Find page in the Find dialog box when you are not sure of the type of item for which you are searching. When you only need to search one type of item, however, such as mail, you can use the Find by Example page in the Find dialog box to specify the options according to the type of item you selected.

You can open the messages you have sent and view information about their delivery in the Sent Items folder. You can forward, resend, and delete sent items as desired.
The Sent Items folder is slightly different than most other GroupWise folders. An envelope icon does not appear to the left of the Sent Items folder icon when that folder contains unopened mail; a closed envelope icon appears next to the message in the Item List for the Sent Items folder until one or more of the recipients opens the message. The icon changes to an opened envelope only when a recipient opens the message, and not when you, as the sender, open the message.
The following table describes many of the mail-related icons you will see in the Sent Items folder:
|

Every sent item has a Properties window that displays delivery details, including when the item was delivered, the name(s) of the recipient(s), and when each recipient opened the message. GroupWise adds tracking information for each delivery activity performed.
When you send a message, the Properties window indicates the date and time that the item was delivered to each recipient. GroupWise adds additional information when each recipient opens the message if you configured GroupWise to track additional information.
GroupWise does not inform you when messages sent over the Internet are opened because it does not track messages once they leave the GroupWise system.
You also will not be informed if the message was forwarded to other users. GroupWise only tracks the activity between the sender and direct recipients.
By default, the Properties window records only when a message is delivered and opened. You can set it to indicate when messages have been deleted as well.

You may send a message and realize that you sent it in error. Instead of sending another message, you can retract the original message. You can remove the message from your Mailbox, this is just like deleting mail from the sent items folder, the Mailboxes of recipients, this is enables you to remove the file from all recipients mailboxes and it confirms the success of the retraction, or all Mailboxes, this option removes the file from your mail box and the recipients mailbox and it does not confirm the success of the retraction.
An item that was opened by the recipient before you attempted to retract it cannot be retracted, and you will not receive an error message telling you that the retraction failed. If an item addressed to multiple people has been opened by one or more recipients, you can still retract the message from your Mailbox and the Mailbox of any recipient who did not open it.

You can delete messages you no longer want. It is a good idea to delete old and unnecessary messages to make the Item List more manageable and enable GroupWise to run more efficiently.
When you delete or retract an item, it is moved to the Trash folder until either you manually delete it again or GroupWise automatically empties the trash. Once a message is deleted from the Trash folder, it is removed from the system and cannot be retrieved. By default, GroupWise empties the trash every seven days; however, you can change that setting, as desired.
The icon to the left of the Trash folder is a wastebasket. When the Trash folder is empty, the wastebasket appears empty. When the Trash folder contains deleted items, the wastebasket appears to contain crumpled paper. The Item List in the Trash folder indicates the date and time the message was deleted as well as the folder from which it was removed. If the folder of origin has been deleted, the original location is listed as Trash.

You can remove messages from GroupWise without permanently deleting them by archiving them. Archiving is helpful for storing older messages that you wish to save GroupWise runs more efficiently with less email messages, and other files. Archived messages are still accessible to view, open, delete, and print. You cannot forward or otherwise share an archived message with others until the message is unarchived.
When you archive a message, GroupWise removes it from the current folder and moves the message to a folder by the same name on the network in a central archive directory folder. If no folder by that name exists, GroupWise creates one and then moves the message. Physically, the archive files are stored the network, rather than with your Mailbox in the main GroupWise system.
The Open Archive command is a toggle. You select it to view your archive and deselect it to return to the Main Window. The archive looks very similar to your Mailbox, and you use it in much the same way. For instance, you can create folders to manage mail. You will notice that the text (Archive) appears in the GroupWise window title bar to let you know you are in the archive. By default, messages are archived manually; however, you can set GroupWise to archive messages automatically.

You can change archive options in the Environment Options dialog box.

learn how to:
· Address a message - Address Book
· Working with SKGF Groups and Resources
· Add an entry to an address book
· Delete an entry from an address book
· Create a personal group
· Manage the Address Book
d Discussion
Rather than typing the names of recipients to address a message, you can select the recipients from your Address Book.
The Address Book contains individual address books that you can use to organize your contact information. Each address book contains entries you can use to address messages. By default, the Address Book displays three address books, each on its own page: the Novell GroupWise Address Book, the Frequent Contacts address book, and a personal address book.
The Novell GroupWise Address Book is available to all GroupWise users connected to your server and includes users groups and resources that you may address items to within the GroupWise system. Only your system administrator can add , remove and modify names from this address book.
The Frequent Contacts address book contains a list of people to whom you recently sent mail. When you address a message, each recipient is added to your Frequent Contacts address book. The Frequent Contacts address book may duplicate entries that are in your other address books. Unlike other address books, you can view the last date you used an entry, as well as how many times you have sent mail to that address.
Although you can create new entries in the Frequent Contacts address book, you may want to use a personal address book instead. Personal address books are designed to be used like real address books. By default, you have one personal address book, which displays your name on the tab. You can create additional personal address books, as desired.
When you use the Address Book to address a message, the entries you select are added to an Address List right below the To, CC, and BC buttons.

You may want to create a new entry in one of your address books. You can add entries to your default personal address book and your Frequent Contacts address book, but not to the Novell GroupWise Address Book.
GroupWise provides three kinds of address book entries: people, resources, and organizations. Each entry contains contact information such as name, title, telephone number, and address. When creating a new entry, you do not need to fill in all available boxes. The only information you must provide is a name and an e-mail address.

You may have several individuals to whom you regularly send mail messages as a group. Instead of addressing the messages manually each time, you can create a personal group and use the group name to address a message sent to those recipients.
You use the Address Book to create a personal group. You create a list containing the names of the desired recipients, specifying whether each is a primary recipient or a copied recipient, and then you name and save the group. The personal group is created in the address book that was displayed when the group was saved. If the Novell GroupWise Address Book is displayed at that time, the group is saved to the address book that appears on the next page.
A group can include recipients from several address books. For example, you could create a personal group called Custom Software, including internal users from the Novell GroupWise Address Book and external users from your personal address book. You would address messages to that group by typing Custom Software in the To box or by selecting that entry from the address book.
If you view an item sent to that group in the Sent Items folder, Custom Software would be listed in the To column. The Properties window would include delivery information for each recipient.
Your system administrator also can create groups, called public groups. Public groups are accessible through the Novell GroupWise Address Book. A common public group contains the names of all individuals in an organization.

GroupWise provides tools to help you manage the information contained in your address books. You can view columns that are hidden, hide visible columns, change the order in which columns appear, sort your address books, and print an address book in a desired format.
You also can add a new column to accommodate additional information. To add a column, you must create a custom field that appears as the last column of an address book. You might need to scroll to the right in the address book to see the new column. A custom field cannot be deleted, but it can be hidden if you no longer need it.
Using the Print dialog box, you can choose whether or not to print an entire address book or only selected entries.
To change how a printout looks, you must change how the address book appears on your screen. For instance, if the columns are too close together on your printout, you would widen the columns in your address book.
In addition, entries print in the order they appear in the address book. To change the print order, you must change how the address book is sorted.

In this lesson, you will
learn how to:
· Use the Cabinet folder
· Create a personal folder
· Move a message to a folder
· Copy a message between folders
· Delete a folder
d Discussion
You can use the Cabinet folder just like you use a filing cabinet, organizing information in folders as you would folders in a filing cabinet. You can create as many personal folders as you need and use descriptive names, such as the name of a project, an individual, or a department, to help you organize your messages.
In addition, you can create personal folders inside of personal folders or personal folders that stand alone on the Folder List. Although, for simplicity, you will probably want to keep most of your general filing in the Cabinet folder. You can also delete and move personal folders.
The icon to the left of the Cabinet folder is a filing cabinet and its top drawer opens when you select it.
d Discussion
You can manage information related to specific projects or responsibilities using personal folders. You create a folder and then move related messages to that folder.
If you provide administrative support to three executives in your company, you could create a folder named after each and subfolders representing the projects or areas with which you assist them, such as Meetings or Travel.

Creating a personal folder
|
|
|
|
o |
By default, GroupWise creates the new folder inside the folder that was selected at the time the folder was created. You can select a different location while creating the folder, or you can move it later, if desired. |
|
|
|
|
o |
You can drag existing folders to new locations. |
|
|
|
|
o |
In addition to personal folders, you can create shared folders and Find Results folders. Shared folders are similar to personal folders, except you allow other users to access the contents. The Find Results folders are very different, in that they contain cross references to items located in other folders. |

As you receive new messages in your Mailbox folder, you will probably want to move some of them to other folders. You can easily move messages between folders.
Not all folders will accept moved messages. If you see an icon of a black circle with a bar through it as you drag an item to the new folder, the desired folder will not accept the message. For instance, you cannot move messages to the Sent Items folder.
|

Messages located in the Sent Items folder cannot be moved; you can create a copy or link them instead. |

You may have messages that you want to store in more than one folder. In most cases, you can easily copy a message from one folder to another folder. As you drag a message holding the [Ctrl] key, a plus sign (+) appears to indicate that you can place a copy of the message into the highlighted folder.
You will need to pay careful attention to the icons you see as you move or copy items, since each folder has settings that determine whether copied and/or moved messages can be stored there. If you see an icon of a black circle with a bar through it, the folder will not accept the copied or moved item. If a plus sign (+) does not appear near the mouse pointer and you see no other icons, the folder will not accept a copy of the selected message; the message will be moved there instead.

In previous versions of GroupWise, you could copy messages from the Sent Items folder to another folder by dragging them without holding the [Ctrl] key. In the current version, this will create a linked item that, when deleted, deletes the item from the Sent Items folder as well. To copy items from any GroupWise folder, you must hold the [Ctrl] key as you drag. |

You may want to delete a folder you no longer use, such as one you created for a project that is now complete. When you delete a folder, you can delete just the contents of the folder or the folder and its contents. If you delete just the contents, the folder is emptied, but it remains in the Folder List.
If you delete the folder and the contents, the folder is removed and the contents are moved to the Trash folder. The Item List in the Trash folder indicates the date and time each message was deleted and the folder of origin is shown as Trash.

You can file your messages by moving them manually to personal folders or by creating a rule. A rule is an organizational tool that allows you to define what happens to an item, based on criteria you establish. Rules enable you to better manage your Mailbox and organize your messages, without extra work on your part. Besides a file rule, you can create a rule to automatically send mail, forward or reply to a message, delete a message, or archive messages.
You define the conditions of the rule and the action you want to occur when a message meets those conditions. For example, you can create a rule called Joe’s Mail that will file messages you receive from Joe Smith in a folder named Joe Smith. You could also create a rule called Urgent that will automatically file high-priority messages in a folder named ASAP.
Rules apply by default to all new items that are received. You do not need to specify an item type, such as mail, unless you want the rule to apply only to that item type.

If you are out of the office for an extended period of time, you may want to send an automatic reply to certain messages and even decline appointments in your absence. You can do this by creating a reply rule.
Rules are guidelines you establish for handling new messages as you receive them. When you create a rule, you define the conditions of the rule and the action you want to occur when a message meets those conditions. When creating a reply rule, you pick a start date and an end date during which time the rule will apply. Then, you set up GroupWise to respond with a specific message to items received on those dates.
You can specify if the reply is sent to the sender only or to the sender and all recipients of the original message. In addition, you can name other recipient(s) to receive a copy of your response and include the original message so that they can keep track of your messages in your absence.

Email Docketing Policy
The firm has implemented the following email policy to assure all materials sent via email are placed in the appropriate matter file. Each timekeeper will have two special rules set up in his/her GroupWise mail box.
Incoming Rule
The incoming rule forwards a copy of all Internet mail received by a timekeeper to his/her secretary. The secretary, unless instructed otherwise, is responsible for printing a hard copy of the email, any attachments, and putting it into the file and notifying the Docketing Department personnel if a date to be docketed is included in the email. .
Outgoing Rule
The Outgoing rule forwards a copy of all Internet mail SENT by the timekeeper to his/her secretary. The secretary, unless instructed otherwise, is responsible for printing a hard copy of the email, attachments and putting them into the file.
|
o |
An employee may use the Firm’s Internet mail system for personal correspondence, with the understanding that the Firm’s email system does NOT provide individual privacy, but serves business needs. To that extent, all personal correspondence should have “Personal” or “Confidential” in the subject line. Secretaries should not read any email if this is included in the subject line |
.
Fax Forwarding Rule

· Start Notify
· Read mail using Notify
· Receive a delivery confirmation in Notify
· Change Notify options
· Exit Notify
d Discussion
While you work in other applications, you may want to know about any new messages or check the status of sent items. You could do this by keeping GroupWise open and switching to it periodically, or you could use a special GroupWise program called Notify. Notify enables you to specify how often your Mailbox is checked, which folders are checked, and how you will be notified of your new messages. You can still receive automatic messages confirming that your sent message was opened or deleted, as well.
You can set GroupWise to open a dialog box, sound an alarm, or launch a program when messages arrive or sent items are opened or deleted. If desired, you can have all three options occur. In addition, you can select the alarm sound you want to hear from a list of available sounds.
Notify appears as a separate program on the Start menu so that you can start it without starting GroupWise. When you start Notify, an icon of a globe appears in the right corner of the taskbar to the left of the time. In addition to triggering the desired alarms, new mail will change the Notify icon to display an envelope on top of the globe. If you point to the icon, a message appears, informing you that you have new mail. You can then use the Notify program to access your new mail in GroupWise. After you have read your new mail, the icon on the taskbar returns to its original appearance, without the envelope.

In this lesson, you will
learn how to:
· Work with the Proxy feature

· Create a personal address book
· Add address books to Name Completion
· Share a personal address book
· Accept a shared address book
· Close a shared address book

d Discussion
GroupWise allows you to give another user or several users access to your Mailbox, as well as have other users give you access to their Mailboxes. This feature is known as the Proxy feature and may be convenient when you are working with other users on a project, or when you want another user to respond on your behalf or read your mail in your absence.
Two steps must be completed before another user can act as your proxy. First, you grant rights to the user who needs access to your Mailbox. Then, that user adds your name to his or her Proxy List.
You can assign different levels of access to different users. You can give Read permission to some users so that they can read your messages, and Write permission to other users so that they can read your messages and send messages on your behalf. You can also set access rights so that other users can receive the same alarms and notifications as you, change your GroupWise options, create and modify rules and folders, archive items, and read items marked private.
If you own a resource, meaning you are responsible for scheduling a resource, you add the resource to your list of proxies and use the Proxy feature to view and respond to all requests for use of the resource. The network administrator grants you full access rights to serve as the owner of the resource.
The Proxy feature is useful for managing calendars. You can use the Multi-User calendar view to display the schedules of several people or resources side-by-side, if you have an appropriate level of permission for each.
|
|
|
|
o |
Changing or requiring a password to log on to your GroupWise account will not affect your proxies’ ability to access your Mailbox. Those acting as a proxy need only the password for their own account. |
|
|
|
d Discussion
You can grant others the right to access your Mailbox by adding them to your access list. You can assign different levels of access to each individual, or you can allow all users on your system to have a certain level of access and then assign additional rights to others.
Users to whom you grant access will appear in your access list. This list contains a default entry for Minimum User Access. If you assign rights to that entry, you assign proxy rights for all the users on your system. For instance, you may want to allow everyone to view your calendar but not allow them to schedule appointments or access your mail. You can add individual names to the list and specify that they cannot read your appointments; yet, in addition to read rights, they can also edit your calendar.
You can easily remove a user from your access list later, when access to your Mailbox is no longer required.
The following table describes the access rights you can assign to other users:
|
Access |
Description |
|
Read |
Your proxy can read items. |
|
Write |
Your proxy can create and send items in your name. |
|
Subscribe to my alarms |
Your proxy can receive the same alarms as you. |
|
Subscribe to my notifications |
Your proxy can receive notifications when you receive a message. |
|
Modify options/rules/folders |
Your proxy can change options for your mailbox, including granting access to users. Your proxy can also create rules and folders. |
|
Archive items |
Your proxy can save your items in his or her archive folder. Items archived by your proxy may be stored on the proxy’s archive and may be inaccessible to you. |
|
Read items marked as private |
Your proxy can read items that you or the sender mark as private. Unless assigned this access, your proxy cannot see any items in your Mailbox that either you or the sender mark as private. If you mark an item as private before you send it, neither your proxy nor the recipient’s proxy can see the item without special rights. |

The Security Options dialog box

You can limit access to certain items in your Mailbox. Select the desired message in the Item List, select the Actions menu and then select the Mark Private command. You can mark open messages using the item’s Actions menu. You can mark a message you create as private prior to sending it.

After someone grants you access to a Mailbox, you need to add it to your Proxy List. You then use the Proxy List to toggle easily between Mailboxes, with yours always listed first. That name also appears at the top of the Folder List, where your name is normally displayed. You also use the Proxy List to remove Mailboxes to which you no longer need access.
You need to add any resource you own to the Proxy List in order to accept or decline requests for that resource.
If you try to access a Mailbox for which you have not been granted access rights, an error message dialog box will open and you will not be permitted to proceed.

After you create a new address book, you will probably want to set GroupWise to search through entries in that book for a match as you type a name.
GroupWise does not automatically add new address books to the list of databases searched by Name Completion. You will notice that each address book page contains information about whether Name Completion searches that address book and, if so, the order in which it is searched.

You may want to share a personal address book with others who need to contact the same people. For instance, you may create an address book of vendors or clients that others in your department can use.
When you share an address book, you decide what rights the recipient will have. Users with Read access to an address book can address mail to those in the address book and view available information on the entry, but they have no editing authority. Users with full access are able to read, create, edit, and delete entries. Only you, as the owner of the address book, can set sharing privileges, even if full access is given to another user. The Properties dialog box for the address book is also used to edit or remove sharing privileges.
GroupWise will not notify you if a recipient declines an invitation to share an address book, but you can check the properties of the address book later to confirm the status. When you view the address book’s sharing properties, the status of a person who declined the invitation will be listed as Deleted. If a recipient accepted the address book, the status is Accepted.
If you later delete a shared address book that you own, the system will send a notification to those users you granted access, informing them that their access has been revoked.

d Discussion
When someone shares an address book with you, you will receive a Sharing of Address Book message in your Mailbox folder. When you open this message, the Install Shared Address Book dialog box opens.
The first page of this dialog box provides the name of the address book and the user who shared the address book with you. It also contains any message from the user and the type of access rights you have been granted. After the address book is installed, the notification message disappears from your Mailbox folder.
You then need to add the address book to the databases that Name Completion searches, since Name Completion does not automatically look through new address books.

Accepting a shared address book
|
|
|
|
o |
You can keep an address book’s Properties dialog box open to make additional changes to its sharing properties. After making a change, select the Apply button rather than the OK button. Select OK when you have finished making changes to the properties and want to close the dialog box. |

To make changes to a personal group you can read but not edit, you could copy the group to one of your personal address books and edit it from there. You should rename your copy of the group to avoid problems with Name Completion. |

You may no longer need access to a shared address book. For instance, you may have created an address book for a specific project that has been completed. You can either close the book or delete it.
Closing the book is a reversible action and is preferred in most instances. If you might need the book later but do not want to see it in your Address Book, you can close the book and, if needed, open it again later.
You can also delete an address book. If you delete a shared address book that you created, the system will send a notification to anyone you had granted access, informing them that their access has been revoked and that the book will be removed from all Address Books. This action is not reversible.
Deleting an address book that you do not own will only make it inaccessible to you. The owner would have to reassign rights to you if you needed to open it again. For that reason, closing the address book is often a more convenient option.

d Discussion
You can create a folder that is shared with other GroupWise users, containing messages on a project or topic of mutual interest. You can create a new shared folder, or you can share an existing personal folder. The following table describes the shared folder icons:
|

Description |
|
|
This icon indicates that you shared this folder with other users. |
|
|
This icon indicates that other users shared this folder with you. |
|
|
This icon indicates that this item is a discussion item. |
When you create a shared folder, you specify with whom you want to share it and then you grant access rights to each user. You can allow others to read, add, edit, and delete items. After you specify the desired sharing options, a notification message is sent advising users that they can access the shared folder.
You can add items to a shared folder either by dragging them into the folder or by creating them in the folder. You can also start a discussion in a shared folder. Discussions are items you post to a shared folder that others can read and to which they can reply.
When you reply to an item in a shared folder, you can choose to reply in the shared folder or privately, either to the writer or to other members of the group.

d Discussion
A discussion is basically an electronic forum in a shared folder where a group of people can communicate about a specific issue. Discussions can be used in place of a mail message addressed to a group.
The benefit of using a discussion instead of a mail message is that you can view a discussion in a thread, which displays the messages in levels according to when they were created. Everyone who has access to a shared folder can read a discussion and respond to it. You should remember that you will not receive a message in your Mailbox folder alerting you to activity in a discussion thread. You need to open the shared folder containing the discussion to check for new items.

d Discussion
GroupWise provides a tool called the Calendar to help you organize your schedule. You can use this Calendar in much the same way you use a paper calendar on your wall or desk. In addition, the GroupWise Calendar has features to help you manage your time, such as the ability to check the schedules of others.
You can create group calendar items, that involve other users, and posted calendar items, which appear on your Calendar only. GroupWise uses the term posted to indicate that the item is sent to a folder, rather than to a recipient. The term is not related to whether the item is shared; therefore, while a posted calendar item is not shared, you may recall that a posted message or discussion item is shared.
You can schedule appointments and tasks, as well as post notes in your Calendar. An appointment can be a business meeting or a visit to your doctor’s office. A task is something you need to do, such as write a report or wash your car. A note provides information or serves as a reminder.
You can schedule items for yourself, resources you own, and for others who designate you as a proxy. If you receive a calendar item from someone else, you can add it to your Calendar or decline the invitation. You can view your Calendar in a variety of formats, including day, week, month, year, task list, project planner, and multi-user.
You can view the Calendar from the GroupWise Main Window, or you can open it into a new window.
The icons related to calendar functions are described in the following table:

You can add more views to those displayed by default or change existing views, if desired. You can navigate quickly between the views by selecting the Calendar tabs. When you open your Calendar folder, the folder displays the most recently used calendar view.
The five default views are Day, Week, Month, Year, and Multi-User. As the view names indicate, the Day, Week, Month and Year views display one day on your calendar, an entire week, a month, or a year, respectively. In the yearly view, the dates for which you have something scheduled appear in bold. The Multi-User view is used to display the schedules of those for whom you are a proxy.
You add a view or change an existing view in the Tab Properties dialog box. You can set up views to display your schedule as a day planner, desk calendar, project planner, or notebook. You can also exclude item types, setting a view to only display notes for instance. Your administrator can create additional views.
You may select from additional options, such as displaying week numbers and setting your office hours.

You can use GroupWise to schedule professional and personal appointments. An appointment is an occurrence on a specific date during a specified time frame. GroupWise includes two types of appointments: meetings and posted appointments.
A meeting is an activity in which you are inviting other GroupWise users. When you create a meeting, your name appears in the To box. Each recipient, including you, receives a copy of the appointment in the Mailbox folder and the meeting appears in italics on the corresponding calendars, to indicate that the meeting is tentative. Each recipient can accept, decline, or delegate an appointment. When you accept an appointment, it appears in normal type on your calendar and disappears from your Mailbox folder. When you decline an appointment, it disappears from the calendar and the Mailbox folder.
A posted appointment is an appointment that does not involve other GroupWise users. You will not receive a copy of a posted appointment in your Mailbox folder or your Sent Items folder. The posted appointment appears on your Calendar in normal type, to show that it is confirmed. You do not address a posted appointment; it is automatically included in your Calendar only. Posted appointments are useful when you are attending a meeting related to work but not involving other GroupWise users. For instance, you may attend a meeting of a professional organization or schedule an interview with a job candidate. Posted appointments also can be used for personal items, such as a doctor’s appointment.
Appointments sent to resources are accepted or declined by the resource owner. The owner has proxy rights to the Mailbox of the resource.

You may have appointments that occur once a week or once a month. Instead of creating an appointment for each occurrence, you can create a recurring appointment. A recurring appointment will appear on your calendar at the specified intervals, for a specific amount of time. For example, you are working on a project and will meet with members of the project team once a week for the next two months. You can schedule a recurring appointment for this meeting.
You can schedule a recurring appointment using the Example, Formula, or Dates method. The Example method is the recommended method because it allows you to schedule recurring appointments on the same day of the week, month, or year. You can specify criteria that will be used to create auto-date formulas. This method is helpful if an item recurs frequently or over an extended period of time. The Formula method enables you to specify the same criteria; however, you need to create a formula to schedule the recurring appointment. This method is useful if you prefer to create auto-date formulas. The Dates method allows you to use the mouse to select specific dates on a calendar on which you want an appointment to occur. This method is helpful when you know the exact date of the recurring item; or it recurs with irregular frequency.
After you complete the appointment information and send it, an appointment message appears in your Mailbox for each instance of the recurring item. It appears in italics on your calendar until it is accepted or declined. You can accept or decline recurring appointments one at a time or all at once. A sent item is generated for each instance of a recurring appointment.

You may keep lists at work that remind you to do such tasks as writing a memo or picking up dry cleaning. Instead of writing these tasks on a piece of paper, you can list them in GroupWise. All tasks are added to your calendar on the start date and roll over to the next day until marked complete. A task that is overdue appears in red. A task marked complete remains on your calendar until you delete it.
A task sent to users can be accepted, declined or delegated.
GroupWise has two kinds of tasks: tasks that involve other users and posted tasks, which only you receive.
A task involving another user appears in the recipient’s Mailbox folder, Task List folder, and Calendar. You can send a copy to yourself as well, by including your name in an address box. A task involving other users appears in your Sent Items folder so that you have a copy of it.
A posted task is a task you assign to yourself. You do not have to address a posted task; it is automatically included only on your Calendar and in your Task List folder.
A posted task does not appear in your Mailbox folder or your Sent Items folder.
You can assign a priority level to a task. You could take advantage of this option to establish a system of prioritizing tasks within your organization. The Priority box accepts several characters, including numbers, letters, and symbols.

You may write reminder notes to yourself or others to remind you of something or to record information about an event. For example, you may post a piece of paper in your office reminding you what items you need to bring to a meeting. In GroupWise, reminder notes are similar to mail, except that they are scheduled for a particular day and appear on your calendar on that date.
A note must be accepted or declined by the recipient, like other calendar items. Until it is accepted, the note appears in italic type in the Calendar, indicating that it is tentative. Once a note is accepted, it disappears from the Mailbox folder and appears in normal type on the Calendar. If a note is declined, it is sent to the Trash folder.
You can create a reminder note involving other users, or a reminder note only for yourself, called a posted reminder note. Group reminder notes appear in each recipient’s Calendar and Mailbox folders. Posted reminder notes appear in your Calendar, but not in your Mailbox folder.

You may need to schedule an appointment with multiple users and resources. Instead of checking the schedule of each for a free date, you can use the Busy Search feature. This feature enables you to quickly locate a time slot in which all potential attendees and resources are available. To use this feature, you need to specify the names of all invitees and the start date for your search. GroupWise then checks all schedules and displays the first available date and time. If the first selection does not meet your needs, you can continue to search until you find one that does.
Scheduled items appear in various shades of gray, indicating the invitee is out of the office, busy, or tentatively busy. Appointments that either you or the sender marked as private appear according to the status you selected when you accepted the appointment.
The Multi-User view of the Calendar folder can also be useful for managing the schedule of multiple parties. To use this view, you need to have the appropriate level of access to the Mailboxes of the other users or resources.

The Multi-User page in the Calendar folder allows you to view the schedules of several people or resources side-by side and manage those schedules, if you have appropriate proxy rights for each. It differs from the Busy Search feature in that you scroll through the schedules for the desired time frame rather than specifying the time frame prior to viewing the schedules.
You control which resources or users are included in a Multi-User view using the Multi-User List. You can create additional Multi-User pages, if desired.

You can print a calendar using one of three available formats: Franklin Quest, Multi-User, and Text Only. When you select the Franklin Quest format, the calendar prints in the same format as a Franklin Day PlannerÔ.
You can print the Franklin Quest format on blank paper or on pages from your Franklin Day PlannerÔ. The Multi-User print format allows you to print the calendars of multiple users. The Text Only format results in a list of your calendar items.
The paper size and layout options available depend on your type and style selections. Before you print a calendar, you need to specify the start date and number of days you want to print. Once you select all the print options, you can preview the printout. After previewing the calendar, you can make adjustments as needed and then print it.

You can customize GroupWise by changing general settings. You can change the interface language, view options, and refresh interval, as well as the default actions for opening sent items and attachments.
You can set GroupWise to open the next item after you accept, decline, or delete the current item. For example, you accept a task. As soon as you select the Accept button, the next item in the Item List opens. You can also set GroupWise to open a new item after you send the current one. For example, you create a new mail message and send it. As soon as you click the Send button, a new Mail To dialog box opens.
GroupWise refreshes every minute to display new items. You can specify a different refresh interval; however, one minute is the most frequent refresh time available.
You can set GroupWise to display the item itself or the Properties window when you double-click a sent item. If you select the Open item option, you can quickly see the content of the item. If you select the Show properties option, you can quickly see tracking information on the item, such as when the item was opened, accepted, deleted, completed, etc.
When you double-click an attachment, you can set GroupWise to display the item in the View Attachment window or open it. When you open an attachment, it opens in the application in which it was created or a compatible one. Viewing an attachment is quicker and the only option available if the original application or a compatible one is not available on your computer.

You can change the default view settings for specific item types in GroupWise to better meet your needs. These settings allow you to select what view you see when you click on a toolbar button or double-click an area in your Calendar.
For appointments, tasks, and notes, you can also change the default view for group and posted items. Group items are appointments, tasks, and notes you send to other users. Posted items are those items you create for yourself. You will see the Group default view when you click a toolbar button or use a menu command. You will see the Posted default view when you double-click an area in your Calendar, such as the appointment list.
While you have many calendar views from which to choose, the other item types have only a few. The difference between most view options for each item is whether or not the item includes an attachment.
Using the Views page in the Environment dialog box, you can change the defaults for the views you use most often. When you see the available views in the Views list box, the current default has an asterisk (*) to its right. You can save time by making the view you use most often the default. This way, you can click a button or double-click your Calendar to open this view. You can also set GroupWise so that you read items in the default view, if desired.

Just as you clean out drawers and organize files in your office, you can organize GroupWise. You can set GroupWise to delete or archive items automatically or manually. You can also set GroupWise to empty the Trash folder automatically or manually. These options help you to keep GroupWise running more efficiently.
By default, your mail and phone messages, as well as your appointments, tasks, and notes can only be deleted and archived manually. You can change cleanup options so that GroupWise automatically deletes or archives items after a certain number of days.
The Trash folder is emptied every seven days by default. If you prefer to empty your own trash, then you can change this setting to manual. It is a good idea to select the Manual option since you may put items in the Trash folder in error and, once they are deleted from this folder, they cannot be recovered.

If you select an auto-archive option, you must have an archive folder established. If you do not, you will get an error message. You can specify a folder on the File Location page in the Environment dialog box. Usually, your system administrator will create an archive folder for you. |

When you send a mail message, you may want to end the message with a custom signature, such as your name. You can create a signature in GroupWise that will appear at the end of all of your messages or for only selected messages. If you want to include the signature on a per message basis, GroupWise will prompt you to include it before you send the message. By default, the Signature option is disabled.
