The GroupWise Address Book

The GroupWise Address Book is really a contact management tool.  The Address Books can store names and addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and detail information about your contacts, groups, resources or organizations.  There are three ways to use the address book information:  the Address Book, the Address Selector and the Contact Folder.


Address Book

Open the Address Book by clicking on the Address Book button in the Main Toolbar. 

The Left Pane list the address books available to you, instead of Tabs for each book.   The larger Right Pane displays the list of names and addresses within the selected book.  To choose a different address book, click once on the specific book located in the left pane.

Locating a Contact:  In the Look For:  field Type the corresponding information listed from the Inside Field.  The example below shows the Last Name field selected.  Type the Last Name of the person you wish to locate from the address list.  The address book will respond alphabetically to your typing. 

To change the Inside field search, click the drop down arrow of the thisfield and select one of the options available.

Address Selector

When you create a New Mail message and click the Address button from the message toolbar the Address Selector window appears. The options provided in this window allow you to select a contact, create a group, add contacts and edit contacts. 

Change books: Click the drop-down arrow at the end of the Look-in: field. 

Search for contact:  To search for a person or group begin typing the corresponding information located in the Match field.  For example:  Match field displays Last Name so type the Last Name of the person or group you are searching for in the Look for: field.

Add a contact:  Click the New Contact button, fill in as much information as you need on the Contact, Office or Personal Tab. 

Edit a contact:  Highlight a contact from the address books.  Click the Details button below the Address List.  Edit either the Contact, Office or Personal Tab information as needed. 

Save Group:  You add contacts to the right pane (Selected list), by double-clicking on a contact in any of the address books.  To select a specific book the group will reside in, change the Look In book to that location, otherwise the group will be saved to the last book displayed or used.  Click the Save Group button, to Name the group.
