When you open GroupWise WebAccess, you see the main window, shown below. The main window is the starting point for many of the tasks you can accomplish with GroupWise WebAccess.
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:
The GroupWise toolbar appears at the top and left of the main window. The toolbar displays options to view your Mailbox, compose an item, search the Address Book, view your Calendar, search for documents in a GroupWise library, manage other mailboxes, open Help, change your GroupWise WebAccess options, and exit GroupWise WebAccess.
The GroupWise Folder List appears on the left side of the main window. The Folder List displays the folders used to organize the items you've sent and received. You click a folder to display the contents of the folder in the Item List. The Mailbox folder is the default folder that is opened when you first log in.
You can add additional personal 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. The Cabinet is a container for all your personal and 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 it.
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. For further information, see the GroupWise documentation Web site.
The following icons are displayed in the Folder 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. If the 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 fewer than 25 messages.
The icon next to each item indicates the item type, status, and priority. You can click an item to open it. 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.
The following icons might be displayed in the Item List:
Mailbox
Unopened Items
Calendar
Cabinet
Trash
