1.5 Exploring the Folder List

The Folder List at the left of the Main Window lets you organize your GroupWise items by creating folders to store your items in. Next to any folder (except for shared folders), the number of unread items is shown in square brackets. Next to the Sent Items folder, the number in square brackets shows how many items are pending to be sent from Caching mode.

Figure 1-6 The GroupWise Folder List

The Folder List header includes the Mode Selector for changing between Online mode and Caching mode. Some folders are available by default. Additional folders are created as you use additional GroupWise features.

You can empty your entire Trash, or empty only selected items. Items in the Trash are automatically emptied according to the number of days entered in the Cleanup tab in Environment Options, or you can empty the Trash manually.

You can’t share system folders, which include the Cabinet, Trash, and Work In Progress folders.

If you place a document in a shared folder, people with rights to the shared folder don’t automatically have rights to edit the document. Before they can edit the document, you must give them Edit rights on the Sharing tab.
