5.4 Accepting or Declining Scheduled Items

When you receive an appointment, task, or reminder note, you might not be able to accept. In GroupWise, you can let the sender know if you accept or decline, specify a level of acceptance or availability, and add additional comments. You can also delegate the item to another user. The sender can find your response by checking the item’s Properties.

  1. Open the appointment, task, or reminder note.

  2. Click Accept or Decline on the toolbar.

    or

    Click the down-arrow to the right of the button to select an Accept level of availability, or to select Decline with Options.

  3. If you selected Decline with Options, you can type a comment (optional), then click OK.

    By default, the sender can view your comment by viewing the item properties in the Sent Items folder. However, for a more noticeable indication when someone declines an item, the sender has the option under Tools > Options > Send > Appointment/Task/Reminder Note to set Return Notification When Declined to Mail Receipt, Notify, or both.

  4. If the item is an Auto-Date item, click This Instance to accept or decline this one Auto-Date item, or click All Instances to accept or decline all instances of the Auto-Date item.

5.4.1 Accepting or Declining Resource Requests

You can accept or decline resource requests only if you are the resource owner and have been granted Read and Write rights.

  1. In the Main Window or Calendar, click File > Proxy.

    or

    Click the folder list header drop-down list (above the Folder List; it probably displays Online or Caching to indicate what mode of GroupWise you are running in).

  2. Click the resource you own.

    If the resource you own isn’t listed, click Proxy, type the name of the resource you own in the Name field, then click OK.

  3. Double-click the item you need to accept or decline.

  4. Click Accept or Decline on the toolbar.
