View a complete listing of all features by clicking on Help at the top of the GroupWise window and selecting What's New
The GroupWise 7 Home View works like a homepage for your internet browser, allowing you to display the information that is most important to you when you open this program.
 |
The navigation bar is a customizable toolbar, which allows you to quickly navigate the contents of your GroupWise account, no matter what view you are currently in.
Tip: The navigation toolbar becomes even more useful if you hide your folder list on the left hand side of your client so you can view more of your GroupWise calendar.
The GroupWise 7 client displays the instant messaging status of a GroupWise Instant Messenger user. By either enabling Quick View (Ctrl + Q) or opening the mail message, you can see the GroupWise Instant Messenger (GWIM) icon displaying next to the From: field. This icon gives you the option to send the person you received the e-mail from an instant message instead of a mail message.
 |
Note:GroupWise Messenger is a separate application from the GroupWise 7 client. For instructions on how to get and use the GroupWise Messenger client, go to http://www.its.niu.edu/its/sh/downloads/groupwise/messenger/gwm20x_faq.shtml
You can add contacts to any of your personal address books, not just the Frequent Contacts address book. Using the Quick View option, right click on the sender of the e-mail for "Add to Address Book." This option will display all open personal address books contained within your main address book.
 |
Search your GroupWise account for GroupWise recognized file attachments. The search will examine the attachments' subject lines, as well as the body text for your key words. This is in addition to the standard find which works for typical categories such as: sender, recipient, specific date, etc.
 |
Note: The Find feature is not the same as the Filter feature in GroupWise
All Day Events are calendar appointments that mark your time that day as available by default, so that co-workers will still have the ability to busy search and invite you to important business meetings. All Day Events also allow you to remember that the event will be taking place that day, but still provide people with access to your calendar the ability to see why you may be out of the office from time to time.
 |
Note: All Day Events by default show that you are free to those who use the GW busy search feature. You must change your status to "busy" or "out of office" in order for others to know you are unavailable.
 |
GroupWise 7 has the ability to spell check as you type, in addition to spell checking manually and when you send your mail message. The new spell check feature will spell check the subject line of your mail message, allow you to right click and choose from a suggested word list, or add this word to your personal dictionary.
