8.1.1 GroupWise Version Compatibility for Panels
GroupWise 7 allows a maximum of two columns of panels. GroupWise 8 allows you to define
additional columns of panels. If you define three or more columns of panels in GroupWise 8, then
run an earlier GroupWise client, panels do not display correctly in the earlier GroupWise client and
might need to be readjusted when you return to the GroupWise 8 client.
Displaying panels with varying monitor configurations, such as standard vs. wide-screen monitors
and single vs. dual-monitor setups, can also result in altered panel display.
8.1.2 GroupWise Version Compatibility for Modified Recurring Calendar Items
In GroupWise 8, you can right-click a sent calendar item, then click
Modify Recipients
to add and
remove GroupWise recipients without resending the calendar item. If the recipients include users on
GroupWise 6.5 or GroupWise 7, those recipients see different functionality than GroupWise 8
recipients.
GroupWise 6.5 post offices:
The GroupWise 6.5 client still goes through the retract and
resend process. Removed recipients see the retraction. Added recipients receive the new
calendar item. Existing recipients in the post office must re-accept the calendar item.
GroupWise 7 post offices:
Install the latest GroupWise 7 Support Pack POA. If you do not
apply the latest Support Pack, GroupWise 7 users might see incorrect retractions and incorrect
Reply to All lists. In addition, orphaned messages can accumulate in the GroupWise 7 post
office. GroupWise 8 users might see incorrect totals for the number of delivered users.
8.1.3 Default Contacts Folder
In GroupWise 8, the default Contacts folder is named Frequent Contacts and corresponds to your
Frequent Contacts address book. Other personal address books display as subfolders under the
Frequent Contacts folder.
In GroupWise 7, there was only one Contacts folder. It was assigned to your Frequent Contacts
address book by default, but you could assign it to different personal address books. If you changed
the address book assigned to the Contacts folder in GroupWise 7, this address book carries over as
the main Contacts folder in GroupWise 8.
If you want to change your main Contacts folder back to the Frequent Contacts address book:
1
Right-click your main Contacts folder, then click
Properties
.
2
In the
Address Book
field, select
Frequent Contacts
, then click
OK
.
8.1.4 RSS Feed Format Limitation
The GroupWise Windows client does not recognize RSS feeds that begin with:
feed://
Use the following format instead:
