Who Puts the “Group” in
GroupWise?
You can by
creating distribution lists, or groups, of GroupWise users to whom you send
email. Though you can include users from
the Novell GroupWise Address Book in
a group, you cannot add a group to this address book. GroupWise will add groups you create to the Frequent Contacts address book.
To create a group,
·
Click
on the Address Book button in the
toolbar of the main GroupWise window to open the Address Book window.

the toolbar and select Group to open
the New Group window.

Enter
a group Name.
·
Click
on the Add button to open the Select Group Members window.
·
Click
on the ▼ to the right of the Look
in field and select the address book from which you want to select users.
·
Based
on the Match criteria you select, enter
information to find a user in the Look
for field. As you type each
character, the system automatically scrolls to the entry that most closely
matches your input in the Address List.
·
Click
on the user you want to add to the group in the Address List. Then, click on one of these buttons to
indicate the address field in which the user’s name should appear: To, CC, or BC.
·
Check
the Selected list. If you have added a user in error, click on
the user’s name and then click on the Remove
button.
·
Click
on the OK button when your list is
complete.

your name in the To field and enter
the group name in the BC field.
Addressing your message this way ensures recipient privacy, as individual names

automatically scrolls to the entry that most closely matches your input in the global Address Book.
