GroupWise lets you customize settings for the libraries where you store and create documents. You can specify a default library, default sharing rights, default document properties layout (such as the order and size of fields), and default values for document properties. You can also specify whether you want to use the short or long form of the property sheet. The library and property settings you specify only affect your library setup. You cannot modify other users’ settings.
You can change the default library. When you create, import, or copy a document in GroupWise, it is saved in the default library, unless you specify a different library. In addition, Find searches for documents in the default library first. See Specifying a Default Library.
You can specify default values for the document property fields that can be edited. The default values are used when you create a new document or import a document into the selected library. If no default values have been specified for author and document type, GroupWise uses the creator’s name as the author and Document as the document type. See Specifying Document Properties.
If you usually share your documents with the same users or groups, you can specify default sharing rights for all the documents you create. When you specify the default sharing rights, GroupWise applies these rights to each document you create or import into the selected library. See Specifying Default Sharing Rights for Documents.
The Document tab appears each time you create, import, copy, or select Properties for a document. You can specify which fields you want to display on the Document tab. In addition, you can specify the number of lines in each field, the field’s order on the dialog box, and you can insert blank lines and separators in the dialog box. See Specifying Document Properties.
When you create a new document or a new version of a document, GroupWise prompts you to specify document properties. You can specify whether you want GroupWise to prompt you for the document subject only or for all the document properties. See Specifying Document Properties.
If you are using integrated applications, you can specify whether you want GroupWise Library features integrated with the application’s Save and Open features. To use the integration, you must have installed Integrations during GroupWise Setup. If you didn’t install Integrations, you can run Setup again to install them. See Section 13.17, Integrating GroupWise with Your Applications.
The default library is where all your documents are stored and the library where Find searches for documents.
