5.2 Using Filr to Manage Attachments

Once Filr is enabled in your system, you can use it to store attachments. Attachments send through Filr are stored in a GW Attachments folder. When you send an attachment using Filr, the items are automatically shared with the recipients. Use the following methods to manage your GroupWise attachments in Filr:

  • When adding attachments to an item, select Filr reference in the bottom left corner. You can then select a file from Filr to attach to the item.

  • When adding an attachment to an item, you can right click on the attachment and select Upload to Micro Focus Filr to automatically upload it to Filr.

  • If your administrator has forced attachments to be sent through Filr, using a size limit or just having all attachments sent through Filr, you receive a warning option upon sending an attachment that is not in Filr and the attachment is automatically uploaded to Filr when the item is sent.

  • Using Find, you can select Micro Focus Filr and the Find searches through your Filr files as well as your GroupWise items.

  • You can save received attachments to Filr in the File > Save menu.

  • To open a Filr reference in an item, right click on the reference and select View in Micro Focus Filr.
