How to create a Vacation Rule

Getting ready to hit the beach ?  Here is a quick way to let everyone else know that you will be ignoring their emails for the next few days …

  1. Open up the GroupWise Web Client by clicking here.
  2. Click on the Options  menu item on the top right hand of the menu bar.
  3. Click on the Rules tab  on the menu bar,
  4. You will find the Type to be already set to Vacation. Click on the Create button, fill up the details of your message and click on the save button.
  5. On the Windows client you create a rule in pretty much the same way (click on the Tools | Rules option) but there are lots more options there, which you do not really need for a Vacation rule.  So even if you are at work, I would advise you to go ahead and use the web client as it is quick, easy, and has the additional benefit that the rules created this way can be edited over the web, so you could update your messages while sipping your pina colada.
