57.3 Creating a New Resource

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, click Resources, then click New to display the Create GroupWise Resource dialog box.

  2. Fill in the following fields:

    Resource Name: Specify a descriptive name. Because the name is used as part of the resource’s GroupWise email address, do not use any invalid characters in the resource name. For more information, see Invalid Characters in GroupWise Object Names and Email Addresses.

    IMPORTANT:Characters that are valid and even desirable in a resource name, such as accented characters, might not be valid in an email address. For some resources, you might need to set up a preferred email ID in order to ensure that they have a valid email address. For instructions, see Section 58.7.1, Changing a Resource’s Internet Addressing Settings.

    GroupWise Post Office: Select the post office where the resource will be located.

    Owner: Select the user who will be responsible for accepting or declining requests to use the resource. The owner must have a GroupWise account on the same post office as the resource.

  3. Click OK to create the resource.

  4. Click Save, then click Close to return to the main Admin console window.

  5. Continue with Configuring the New Resource.
