7.1 Mode Use

GroupWise Mailbox Management has two modes: Single User Mode and Multi-User Mode.

Now we are connected, we can begin managing the GroupWise system. To view or edit the properties of any user, group, or list, you must first select them in the tree view.

The power of GroupWise Mailbox Management lies in its ability to organize data into a viewable and easily manipulated format. The data window on the right side is setup to work with a set of tabs to generally categorize data, which can be narrowed down through the use of columns and criteria to the information that is desired. The right-click menu in the information fields of the different tabs exposes options that would not otherwise be seen.

The Report views in Multi-User Mode may require you to click Generate to create the list of information before anything will be propagated into GroupWise Mailbox Management's display.

When changes are made, the Apply changes button must be selected before switching the view for changes to be applied to the database. If the view is changed or a different user is selected before changes are applied, changes will be lost. Changes and settings will also be reverted to what is in the database by selecting the Refresh button as this polls the database for settings. Depending on system speed and the connection to the domain database, changes may take some time to be applied.

GroupWise Mailbox Management is currently unable to change settings that were locked in GW Admin.
