GroupWise Tasks


A task is an item to be completed by a specified date and time which you can assign to yourself, another GroupWise user, or group of users. For example, if you have assigned someone to write a lesson plan that is due next week, you can assign the lesson plan to that user as a task. The user can accept or decline the task, but until it is declined or completed, the task appears on the user’s Tasks List each day.

Once it is accepted, a task appears on the Calendar on its start date. When the due date is past, the task displays in red on the Calendar. When you mark a task Completed, it no longer carries over to the next day on your Calendar.

Once you finish a task, you can mark it Completed. As the originator of an assigned task, you can have GroupWise send you notification when the task is marked Completed. A Completed status, including the date and time the task was marked Completed, is placed in the Properties Window.

  1. Click the date you want the reminder not to appear.
  2. Double click an empty space in the Reminder Notes List.
  3. Type in a subject and message.
  4. Click Post
