Folder List Item List
The main window has different components to help you accomplish your daily tasks. The following sections describe the various components you can use from the main window:
+ “Understanding the Toolbar” on page 10 + “Understanding the Folder List” on page 10 + “Understanding the Item List” on page 12
Understanding the Toolbar
The toolbar displays options to view your Mailbox, compose an item, search the Address Book, view your Calendar, find items in your Mailbox, search for documents in a GroupWise library, proxy to another user, open Help, change your GroupWise WebAccess options, and exit GroupWise WebAccess.
Understanding the Folder List
10
The Folder List displays the folders used to organize the items you've sent and received. You can add additional folders to further help you organize your items. The Mailbox folder is the default folder that is opened when you first log in.
The following folders are displayed in the Folder List. You can open a folder by clicking the icon.
GroupWise 6.5 WebAccess Client User Guide
Icon Description
Lists items you've received. The Mailbox is a system folder. a” Mailbox
E Lists received items you have not yet opened. Unopened Items
di Lists items you've sent from the Mailbox and Calendar. The Sent Items
Sent Items folder is a system folder. After you move a sent item from the Sent Items folder to another folder, it no longer displays in the Sent Items folder. (In the previous version of GroupWise WebAccess, the Sent Items folder was a query folder that listed sent items from all folders.)
m Lists all appointments, tasks, and notes in your Calendar. The Calendar Calendar is a system folder. Ei Checklist Lists items you have moved to this folder. Use the Checklist folder to
create a task list. The Checklist folder is a system folder. (In the
previous version of GroupWise WebAccess, a Task List folder listed all the task items in your Mailbox and Calendar. The Task List folder was a query folder.) For more information, see “Using the Checklist Folder”
on page 46. EJ Lists folders you've created. The Cabinet is a system folder. Cabinet 3 Lists deleted items that have not yet been purged. The Trash is a 1% Trash
system folder.
System folders cannot be deleted.
For additional information about using folders, see “Working with Folders” on page 44.
Personal Folders
You can add additional folders to further organize your items. For example, you could add a folder to your Cabinet to store all messages you receive regarding a specific project you're working on.
Shared Folders
You can share personal folders with other users. Recipients of the shared folder receive a notification explaining that you have shared the folder with them. They can then accept the folder or decline the folder.
Find Results Folders
In the Windows version of GroupWise, you can save the results of an item or document search in a folder. You cannot do this in GroupWise WebAccess. However, GroupWise WebAccess lets you view any Find Results folders you've created in another version of GroupWise.
Understanding GroupWise WebAccess 11
Understanding the Item List
The Item List displays the contents of the folder that is currently open. By default, the most recent 25 items in the folder are displayed. Ifthe folder contains more than 25 messages, a Display Next button appears at the bottom of the list. You can use it to display the next 25 messages, or you can choose to select more or less than 25 messages.
The icon next to each item indicates the item type, status, and priority. You click an item to open 1t. When you open an item, all actions you can perform on that item type are displayed at the top of the item view. For easy access, actions that you commonly perform on items are also displayed at the top of the Item List. You can select multiple items by clicking the boxes to the left of the items.
Whenever you select items in the Item List and perform an action on them, WebAccess updates the Item List. However, to reduce the number of times you need to access the Web server, WebAccess does not automatically update the Item List when you open an item and perform an action on it. For example, if you select an item in the Item List and move it to another folder, the Item List will be updated after the move. However, if you open an item and move it to a folder, the Item List is not updated. To refresh the list, you can open the folder again or click Update at the top of the list.
Sent items are bolded to show when they are queued but not delivered, status information has not been received about them being delivered, or they have not yet been transferred to the Internet.
The following icons may be displayed in the Item List:
Icon Message Type, Status, and Priority
Unopened mail message (high, normal, low priorit he p ge (hig p y)
a5 Opened mail message (high, normal, low priority)
SEE Unopened appointment (high, normal, low priority)

Understanding Timing Out from GroupWise WebAccess
Specific actions, such as opening or sending an item, generate a call to the Web server. Other actions, such as scrolling through items in the Item List, composing a message without sending it, or reading Help topics, do not generate a call to the Web server. If, for a period of time, you leave GroupWise WebAccess alone or perform actions that don't generate a call, WebAccess logs you out. Doing so not only provides security for your e-mail but also ensures that the Web server and GroupWise WebAccess run efficiently.
The time-out period is determined by your GroupWise system administrator. If you try to perform an action after you've been logged out, you will be prompted to log in again.
Getting Help
If you have questions about using WebAccess, you can get help from several sources.
Online Help is available from wherever you are in WebAccess. When you click the Help button, a second browser window opens to display Help so that the task you are performing is not disturbed.
You can find GroupWise documentation, including GroupWise WebAccess documentation, at the GroupWise documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation).
In addition, you can find additional information and answers to your questions at the GroupWise Cool Solutions Web site (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/gwmag/index.html).

GroupWise WebAccess Basics
This section of the Group Wise" WebAccess User Guide provides basic information to get you started using GroupWise WebAccess.
This section contains the following topics: + “Composing Items” on page 15 + “Managing Items You Receive” on page 22
+ “Managing Items You Send” on page 27
Composing Items
GroupWise WebAccess has five different item types: mail message, phone message, appointment, note, and task. You address all item types in the same way, using the Address Book to add recipients’ addresses to the To, CC, and BC boxes. You can also attach files to each item type and include Web site locations (URLs) in the Subject and Message box of each item type.
You can further group these five item types into two categories: unscheduled items and scheduled items.
+ Unscheduled Items: Unscheduled items include mail messages and phone messages. Both types of messages let you send a messages that are not scheduled for a particular time or date.
+ Mail Message: Lets you specify a subject and message.
+ Phone Message: Similar to mail messages, except that phone messages have boxes for caller, company, and phone number information.
+ Scheduled Items: Appointments, tasks, and notes are scheduled items, meaning that they appear in the recipient's Calendar as well as the Mailbox. The recipient of an appointment, task, or note has the option of accepting or declining it. Accepted items are removed from the recipient's Mailbox and stored in the recipient's Calendar. Declined items are removed from both the recipient's Mailbox and the Calendar. If you are the sender, you can see what action recipients have taken by checking the status information for the scheduled item.
+ Appointment: Lets you include the time, date, and place of the appointment. You can use Busy Search to find times when all recipients are free.
¢ Task: Lets you indicate which day you want the task to appear in the recipient's Calendar and which day you want the task completed. You can also assign a priority to the task.
+ Note: Lets you indicate which day you want the note to appear on the recipient's Calendar. Because notes are posted in the recipient's Calendar, they are frequently used as reminders of specific events, such as days off, project deadlines, or birthdays.
This section contains the following topics:

Using the Address Book
The Address Book stores information about users, resources, and organizations. You can use the Address Book to search for information or to add e-mail addresses to an item you are composing.
GroupWise WebAccess includes an HTML version ofthe Address Book and a Java version. When you open the Address Book, the Java version is displayed. You can switch between versions after you've opened the Address Book.
The Address Book consists of the GroupWise system address book, one or more personal address books, the Frequent Contacts address book, and possibly shared address books and LDAP address books.
+ GroupWise System Address Book: You have one GroupWise system address book. The system address book includes all users who have a GroupWise Mailbox in your organization. You cannot modify the system address book.
+ Personal Address Books: You can have multiple personal address books. By default, GroupWise WebAccess provides one predefined personal address book with your name as the
32 GroupWise 6.5 WebAccess Client User Guide
title. You can use your personal address book to add e-mail addresses and information for users, resources, or organizations not defined in the system address book.
Frequent Contacts Address Book: You have one Frequent Contacts address book. In the Windows version of the GroupWise client, your most frequently or most recently used addresses are automatically added to the Frequent Contacts address book. In GroupWise WebAccess, you must manually add addresses to this book. Addresses added by the Windows Group Wise client will also appear in the GroupWise WebAccess Frequent Contacts address book.
Shared Address Books: In the Windows version of the GroupWise client, users can share address books with other users. In GroupWise WebAccess, you cannot share an address book with other users, but you can receive shared address books. Once you accept a shared address book, 1t appears in your Address Book list along with your system address book, personal address book, and Frequent Contacts address book.
LDAP Address Books: If your GroupWise system administrator has implemented LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to gain access to other address books, the Address Book will give you the option of switching between the GroupWise address books (system address book, personal address book, Frequent Contacts, and shared address books) and the LDAP address books. You can use the LDAP address books to address items and search for user information.

GroupWise WebAccess Advanced Features 33
GroupWise WebAccess supports the * (asterisk) and ? (question mark) wildcards. When searching a field, you can use * to represent multiple characters and ? to represent one character. In the Java Address Book, for example, if you define a "First Name begins with jo*" condition, the search will return all entries whose first names start with JO (John, Joel, Jose, and so forth). If you define a "Last Name contains s?n" condition, the search will return all entries whose last names contain S and N separated by one character (Sanders, Johannson, Larsen, and so forth).

GroupWise WebAccess Advanced Features 39
Working with Attachments
All GroupWise items you send or receive can include attachments of any file type (for example, text, audio, image, video, and application).
Attaching Files
You can attach one or more files to an item to send to other users. For example, you might want to send an expense report to another user or attach an agenda to an appointment. For you to attach files to an item, your browser must support attachments.
Viewing Attachments
When you view an attached file, GroupWise WebAccess attempts to convert the file to HTML and display it in your browser. If GroupWise WebAccess cannot convert the file, you can try to have your browser display the file. Depending on how your browser is configured to handle the file, the browser may display the file, launch an application to view the file in its native format, or save the file.
Opening Attachments
When you open an attached file, the file is opened in your browser in its native format if your browser supports the file format and if your browser is set up with the correct association for the file format. In addition, you might be able to edit the file if you have the appropriate plug-in (for example, the MSWord plug-in allows you to edit a .doc file in the browser). If you try to open a file with a format that is not supported in your browser or that does not have an association in your browser, you are prompted to save the file to disk.
Saving Attachments
You can save attachments in their native format.
Attached Documents
Users of the Windows version of GroupWise can attach library documents to a message. The attachment includes both a document snapshot and a document reference. The document snapshot is the actual document attached to the message; the document reference is a link to the document in the library. When you receive the message, you have the option of using the document reference to view, open, or save the actual library document, or using the document snapshot to view, open, or save the document attached to the message.
Using the WebAccess Calendar
40
The Calendar lets you view appointments, tasks, or notes you've received from others or created for yourself. You can view one day, one week, or one month at a time.
You open the Calendar from the toolbar in the GroupWise WebAccess main window. When you open the Calendar, the HTML version is displayed. GroupWise WebAccess also provides a Java version of the Calendar. You can switch between versions after you've opened the Calendar, if your Web browser supports Java.
The Calendar displays any appointments, tasks, and notes you've received whether you've accepted them or not. You can perform the same actions on an item in the Calendar that you can on an item in the Mailbox, such as accepting, declining, delegating, or moving the item. In addition, you can also decline, delegate, or move items you've accepted that no longer appear in

Viewing Items in a Find Results Folder
A Find Results folder is a folder that displays the results of a query. When the folder is opened, GroupWise examines the search criteria defined for the folder, searches for everything specified, then displays everything it finds in the Item List. You can act on items in a Find Results folder the same way you act on items in any folder, such as opening, forwarding, printing, copying, moving, or deleting them, but the original item remains stored in the folder where the search found it. This means that if you move or delete an item from a Find Results folder, the item is deleted from the Item List, but not from the original location. The next time you open the Find Results folder, the search is performed again and the item is once again displayed.
Although you cannot create new find results folders using WebAccess, you can use folders you created using the GroupWise Client for Windows. However, to ensure that you are viewing the most recent information in the folder and not a cached copy, you should click Update before opening a Find Results folder.

Using Proxy to Manage Other Mailboxes
50
Proxy lets a GroupWise user access another Group Wise user's Mailbox to perform various actions, such as reading, sending, accepting, and declining items, on behalf of the user. This means that you can manage another user's Mailbox (including the Calendar), or you can allow another user to manage your Mailbox.
IMPORTANT: You can proxy for a user in a different post office or domain, as long as that person is in the same GroupWise system. You cannot proxy for a user in a different GroupWise system.
Before you can use Proxy to manage another user's Mailbox, that person must grant you proxy access to his or her Mailbox. The same is true if you want someone to act as your proxy; you must give that person proxy access to your Mailbox.
Proxy access enables the proxy to open the other person's Mailbox, while logged in to his or her own Mailbox, without knowing the person's Group Wise user ID and Mailbox password. It also establishes the rights the proxy will have to the Mailbox. A proxy's rights determine the extent to which the proxy can manage the person's Mailbox. For example, the proxy might be given rights to read and write (send) all item types or be given rights to read Calendar items (appointments, tasks, and notes) only.
In addition to providing specific users with proxy access to your Mailbox, you can establish a default level of proxy access. The default level of proxy access is given to all GroupWise users who you haven't explicitly given proxy access to. You establish the default level of proxy access by modifying the <All User Access> entry in your Proxy Access list. For example, if you want to enable all GroupWise users to view your Calendar, you can modify the <All User Access> entry to give Read rights to your appointments, tasks, and notes. By default, the <All User Access> does not allow any access to your Mailbox.

GroupWise WebAccess lets you search Group Wise libraries for documents that you have created or that other users have created and shared with you. After you have found the document you want, you can view it as an HTML document or save it to your local drive and then view or edit it in its native application. If you have the appropriate plug-in for your browser, you might also be able to open the document and edit it in your browser. For example, the MSWord plug-in allows you to edit a .doc file in the browser.
You cannot use GroupWise WebAccess to save documents to a library. This includes any new documents you've created or any existing library documents you've saved to your local drive to view or edit. To save a document to a library, use the Windows version of Group Wise.
To search for a document:

Classification
A classification is a security setting that lets the recipient know if the item is confidential, top secret, and so forth. This information appears at the top of the item. A classification does not provide any encryption or additional security. It is meant to alert the recipient to the relative sensitivity of the item.
Priority
Recipients can see the priority of an item by looking at the color of the icon next to the item in the Item List. High priority items are red, normal priority items are white, and low priority items are
gray. Reply Requested
When you request a reply to an item, the recipient of the item sees next to the item in the Item List. If you select When Convenient, "Reply Requested: When convenient" appears at the top of the item. If you select Within x Days, "Reply Requested: By xx/xx/xx" appears at the top of the item. If the recipient attempts to delete an item without replying, he or she is reminded that the item requested a reply. (The recipient can still delete the item without replying.)

Changing Your Time Zone
To ensure that dates and times are correct in messages, appointments, and other time-relevant information, GroupWise WebAccess must know the time zone in which you are located. GroupWise WebAccess automatically adjusts the time for appointments sent between people in different time zones. For example, if you are located in New York and schedule a conference call with people in Los Angeles for 4:00 p.m. your time, the appointment received by the Los Angeles recipients will show the conference call at 1:00 p.m. their time.
By default, GroupWise WebAccess uses the time zone established for your GroupWise post office. However, if you are using GroupWise WebAccess in a time zone other than your post office's time zone, you should change your time zone setting. For example, if your post office is
58 GroupWise 6.5 WebAccess Client User Guide
located in New York but you are working in Chicago, you would need to change your time zone setting from Eastern Time to Central Time.
The GroupWise WebAccess time zone setting applies only to GroupWise WebAccess. If you have access to the Windows version of the GroupWise client, that client will use the time zone configured through the Windows operating system, not the time zone you set in Group Wise
WebAccess. 1 From the GroupWise WebAccess main window, click the Options icon. 2 Click Time Zone.

When you create a signature, GroupWise WebAccess stores it in your GroupWise Mailbox at your post office. Whether you log in to your Mailbox through GroupWise WebAccess or another version of the GroupWise client, you always have the same signature.
You can use rules to define actions that you want to be performed on items you receive. For example, you can forward or reply to messages or move messages to folders. Rules can help you organize your Mailbox, automate your Mailbox while you are away, or delete unwanted items.
Requirements for Creating a Rule
When you create a rule, you must do the following:
+
Select the type of action you want performed. The available actions are: forward, reply to, delete, move to a folder, and vacation. Vacation is simply a predefined type of reply.
Name the rule. By naming the rules, you can have more than one rule that uses the same action.
Define any optional conditions. For example, you might want to move all items you receive from your supervisor to a specific folder. You can define a condition so that only messages with your supervisor's name on the From line are moved to the folder. All other items will remain in your main Mailbox folder.
Fill in the information required to carry out the action. For example, you may need to specify the folder where you want to move the messages.
Save the rule.

Creating a Rule
Using Rules Created with Another GroupWise Client
Rules are stored in your GroupWise Mailbox at your post office. Because of this, rules you've defined in other versions of the GroupWise client will also appear in the Rules list and will apply when you use GroupWise WebAccess.
Editing Rules
You can edit any rules you create in GroupWise WebAccess. If you've created rules using another version of the GroupWise client, you will be able to edit those rules provided they do not contain more capabilities than GroupWise WebAccess allows you to set. For example, the Windows version of the GroupWise client lets you create rules to apply to items you are sending. Because the Rules feature in GroupWise WebAccess does not include this capability, you would not be able to edit that rule.
