4.9.3 Using Free/Busy Information

In GroupWise, you can use Busy Search to check other users’ Calendars for available times. If you receive a .ifb file from a non-GroupWise user, you can associate that free/busy information with that user’s contact information, so that Busy Search can identify available times for non-GroupWise users.

  1. In your Mailbox, open the e-mail containing the free/busy location.

  2. Block and copy the free/busy location.

  3. Display the contact information for the sender, as described in Modifying a Contact.

    or

    Add the user as a GroupWise contact, as described in Adding a Contact.

  4. In the contact information, click the Details tab.
