6.3 Using the Address Selector

When you are composing a new item and click the Address Book button on the item view toolbar, the Address Selector displays. The Address Selector presents a simplified view of the Address Book, providing you with the options you need to select a name or create a group.

The Address Selector displays in other places throughout GroupWise, for example, when you are selecting recipients of a task, entries for a filter or find, and so forth. It might be slightly modified to show only context-appropriate options.

You can resize the Address Selector by dragging a corner of the window.

You can open a contact entry to view details by clicking the contact’s name.

6.3.1 Accessing the Address Selector

  1. In an item you are composing, click Address Book on the toolbar.

  2. Select an address book from the Address Books drop-down list.

  3. Click the drop-down list to select how you want to locate a recipient (by name, last name, or first name), then type the recipient's name.

    To filter the list of entries by contacts, groups, or resources, click an option on the Filter icon drop-down list.

    If you know the person's name, begin typing it in the To field of the item view. Name Completion searches the Frequent Contacts address book, the current address book, and the system address book. When Name Completion finds the person you want to send a message to, you can stop typing.

  4. Click the names you want as primary (To) recipients of your message.

  5. To address carbon copy recipients, click CC, then click the names you want.

  6. To address blind copy recipients, click BC, then click the names you want.

  7. Click OK.

6.3.2 Creating Contacts Using the Address Selector

To create a new contact, click Add Entry, enter the contact information in the different tabs, then click OK.

You can add contacts to the right pane and then create a group by clicking Save Group. If you click the down-arrow on the Address Books list, you can select which address book the group is saved to. Otherwise it is saved to the address book displayed in the Address Selector.
