Groupwise Calendar

The Groupwise calendar is a great feature in Groupwise that is convenient as well as productive way to organize time and keep others informed of your availability. 

While most people already have personal calendars it may not make any sense to change to the Groupwise calendar, but Groupwise allows other people to see your availability if you choose.  It is also possible to access Groupwise as long as you have an email account.  Those two features alone make the Groupwise calendar a smart choice for anyone on the run or in a business environment. 

Making Appointments

Groupwise makes it easy to make appointments.  In order to make appointments, make sure that you have already clicked on the Calendar Tab which can be found under the menu bar within Groupwise.

Once in the calendar menu, simply click on New Appt, or you can double click on the calendar for the specific time you want to make an appointment.  Once you double click a new screen will appear asking you specifics about the appointment. 

Simply add the necessary data for the appointment. 

Once you make an appointment an alarm will automatically be set for that appointment time.  In order to get notifications on your computer automatically make sure that Novell Notify is running.  To run windows notify simply go to the start menu and click on the notify program. 

After clicking on Notify, a little globe icon will show up on the lower right hand corner of your computer tray.

As long as the globe is running, you will automatically be sent a notification message once you receive a new email or when you have an appointment coming up soon. 

Color Coordinating Appointments

On the menu bar click Tools > Options.  After the next window pops up click on Date and Time and all the options will pop up.  Simply go to the line, color options and click the desired color for all of your events. 

Different Calendar Views

There are many different ways to view the calendar in Groupwise.  You can break down the calendar by day, week, month, or year.  In order to see different views of a calendar simply click on the corresponding button. 

If you choose the day option appointments, notes, and tasks will show up on the same screen.  To make tasks and notes simply follow the same instructions for making an appointment. 

Searching for Appointments

Groupwise makes searching for appointments easy.  Type in the type of appointment you are looking for in the filter field and all the appointments with that name will pop up.
