ΕΙ Step 4: GroupWise Support Forum

Step 1: Online Help in the GroupWise Client

All three GroupWise® clients offer online help. + Windows Client: Click Help > Help Topics. + Cross-Platform Client: Click Help > Help Topics. 9 WebAccess Client: Click Help.

The online help in all three clients offers three ways to access the information provided in the help:

+ Contents: Provides task-oriented (“How Do P”) access to the help information. This is a great place for beginners to get started.

9 Index: Provides alphabetical access to common tasks and features. This is helpful when you know what you want to do but you can’t figure out how to do it.

9 Search: Provides a full text search of the help information based on keywords. If the index doesn’t have it, the full text search should.

If the online help doesn’t help you, proceed to Step 2: User Guides on the Group Wise Documentation Web Site.

Step 2: User Guides on the GroupWise Documentation Web Site All three GroupWise clients have a User Guide posted on the Group Wise 6.5 Documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw65) that is easy to access:

+ Windows Client: Click Help > User Guide. + Cross-Platform Client: Click Help > User Guide. 9 WebAccess Client: Click Help > User Guide.

The User Guides are provided in both HTML and PDF format. Both formats are searchable and yield different kinds of search results.

9 HTML Search: To search the HTML version of a User Guide, click the main link to the guide on the GroupWise 6.5 Documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/

gw65), then go to the left pane and select the sections of the guide that you want to search. All sections of the guide are selected by default. Type the word or phrase to search for, then click Search Checked Items For. Web search technology is used to return pages where the word or phrase is found in the User Guide, ranked according to the likelihood that the page is what you’re looking for.

9 PDF Search: To search the PDF version of a User Guide, click the PDF link to the guide on the GroupWise 6.5 Documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw65). Click the binoculars icon, type the word or phrase to search for, then click Find to find the first instance. Click Find Again to continue searching through the document for more instances of the word or phrase. This full text search procedure is more thorough than the Web search approach.

TIP: When you are in the HTML version of a User Guide, you can click View PDF at the top of any page to immediately open the PDF version of the User Guide.

If the User Guide doesn’t help you, proceed to Step 3: User Comments Link in the User Guides.

Step 3: User Comments Link in the User Guides

If you have searched the online help and the User Guide for the GroupWise client you are using and you still cannot find the information you need, you can submit a user comment about the documentation. Just click Add Comment at the bottom of any page of the HTML version of the documentation.

IMPORTANT: For best results, submit your comment on the page of the User Guide where you tried to find the information.

When you submit a user comment, one of the following things happens:

+ We know where the answer to your question is in the current documentation. We send a response to you to help you find the information you need.

+ We know the answer to your question and we discover that it is not in the current documentation. We send a response to you and post the information on the page where you made your comment. The information added to the next posting of the GroupWise documentation.

+ We don’t know the answer to your question. We find the answer to your question, then proceed as described above.

+ We technical writers can’t help you resolve problems with the GroupWise software. If Group Wise doesn’t work for you the way it’s supposed to, we refer you to Step 4: GroupWise Support Forum.

Response times vary.

Step 4: GroupWise Support Forum

The GroupWise Support Forum (http://support.novell.com/forums/2gw.html) provides assistance from over 30 volunteer sysops from around the world, not to mention helpful GroupWise users from around the world as well. If the GroupWise client isn’t working for you as documented, post your problem on the GroupWise Support Forum for free assistance.

GroupWise Windows Client FAQ 11

How do! set up an automated response to let people know that I’m on vacation or out of the office?

See “Creating a Vacation Rule or Auto Reply”.

How do | forward all my mail from my GroupWise account to a personal e-mail account?

See “Creating a Rule to Forward All Mail to a Private Mail Account”.

How do | add text, such as contact information, to the bottom of every message | send?

See “Adding a Signature or vCard to Items You Send”.

How do I display just my unopened items? You can create a Find Results folder, as described in “Understanding Find Results Folders”. Use an Advanced Find, and set it up so that Item Status does not include Opened (or any other status

that you do not want listed in the Find Results folder). You can then look in this folder to see all your unopened items as a group.

How do | get notified of incoming messages and upcoming appointments?

See “Running Notify”.

How do | change the sound of my notifications?

See “Setting the Alarm Options”.

Can | set an alarm on a task or note?

At present, you can’t set alarms on tasks or notes. Alarms can only be set on items that are associated with a particular time of the day.

How do | schedule an annual event, such as a birthday or anniversary?

See “Scheduling Auto-Dates by Formula”.

12 GroupWise 6.5 Client Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do | change my default font for composing and viewing messages? If you are using Plain Text view, the Windows* system default font is used for your message text. When the recipient opens the message, the recipient’s Windows system default font is used. In the

Mail From window, the recipient can click Edit > Font > Font, then select a larger size to make reading easier if necessary.

If you are using the HTML view, see “Changing the Default Font in the HTML View”. The recipient views the message in the same font and size as you composed the message.

What do all the little symbols next to my messages mean?

See “Icons Appearing Next to Items in Your Mailbox and Calendar”.

Someone gave me proxy access to a mailbox. How do | access it?

See “Managing Someone Else's Mailbox or Calendar”.

Help! My folder list has disappeared. How do | get it back?

Click View > Folder List.

How do | add another column to a list of items?

Right-click an existing column heading, click More Columns, then select the columns you want to display.

Where is the Accounts menu that! need in order to set up a POP or IMAP e-mail account in GroupWise? The Accounts menu is availably only if your GroupWise administrator has enabled this feature, as

described in “Modifying Environment Options” in “Client” in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide. Ask your GroupWise administrator to enable the feature.

Why, when | send a recurring appointment, do the recipients get a separate appointment for each occurrence? Do they have to accept each one individually?

That’s just the way it is in GroupWise” right now. Recipients can accept all occurrences with a

single click. An advantage of this approach to recurring appointments is that you can delete a single occurrence if necessary.

Can | retrieve an item that | have emptied from the Trash?

No. However, if it is extremely important, your Group Wise administrator should be able to restore it from a backup copy of your mailbox.

GroupWise Windows Client FAQ 13

Can | delete attachments from a received message?

No, not at the present time.

Can | transfer ownership of my shared folders and personal address books to another user?

No, not at the present time.

In the Attach File dialog box, how do | set the default file listing to Details (to include file size, type, and date) instead of List (which just lists the filenames)?

You cannot change the default GroupWise file list presentation or in the Windows operating system environment.

Why are there discrepancies between the folder structure in my archive and my Online or Caching mailbox?

Theoretically, the folder structure in your archive should match the folder structure in your mailbox. However, over time, you have probably renamed folders, deleted folders, and moved folders as your worked on your mailbox. The archive does not keep up with all these changes to the mailbox folder structure. Therefore, sometimes items aren’t archived where you expect them to be archived. Sometimes you need to use the Find feature to locate archived items.

This issue is more frequent with users whose GroupWise archives date back through numerous Group Wise releases.

Can | transfer my GroupWise archive onto a CD to save space on my workstation and then access it from the CD when | need to refer to old items?

If you copy your GroupWise archive onto a CD, it is marked read-only. At present, Group Wise cannot open a read-only archive. You would need to copy it from the CD back into a read-write environment in order to access it.

You set your archive location using Tools > Options > Environment > File Location > Archive Directory. You need to be careful that your archive location is always set to the correct directory where you want ongoing automatic archiving to take place. At present, we do not recommend or support multiple archive locations, although it is possible.

How do | get GroupWise to start maximized?

Manually size the GroupWise client window by dragging its borders to occupy your full screen. Do not use the Maximize button.

GroupWise Client Comparison

The Group Wise product includes three clients for accessing your Group Wise® mailbox:

+

Windows Client: A proven e-mail client for over a decade, the GroupWise Windows client is a robust, full-featured access point from your Windows desktop to your GroupWise mailbox. It offers a wide array of features to meet the needs of basic to advanced users.

Cross-Platform Client: First introduced in 2004, the relatively young GroupWise Cross- Platform client offers the most vital GroupWise features to Linux* and Macintosh* users, with additional Group Wise functionality being added with each new Group Wise release.

WebAccess Client: The WebAccess client provides access to your Group Wise mailbox in any environment (Windows, Linux, and Macintosh) where a browser and an Internet connection are available. In addition, using the WebAccess client, you can access your Group Wise mailbox from wireless devices such as phones, Palm OS* devices, and Windows CE devices. Some GroupWise functionality is limited because of the difficulty of implementing it in a browser-based environment. However, some advanced functionality has been implemented using Java* applets.

The following tables compare the tasks that can be performed in the GroupWise Windows, Cross- platform, and WebAccess clients:
