Understanding Smart Docking

Suppose you are using a notebook computer and have been away on a business trip. When you come back into the office after using GroupWise Remote, any changes you have made while on the road since your last connection can be automatically updated to your master Mailbox on the network. This feature is known as Smart Docking .

When you start GroupWise the first time after being off of the network, GroupWise automatically synchronizes the changes in your remote Mailbox with your master Mailbox. Because the connection type ”modem or logged in to the network ”is sensed automatically, no configuration is necessary.

NOTE

If you select the Don't Display This Prompt Again message, the Mailbox will be updated without any user intervention.

With the Smart Docking feature of GroupWise, you don't need to worry about how you are connected to GroupWise; the program will keep your master Mailbox synchronized with changes made in your remote Mailbox. Of course, to get the updates from your master Mailbox to your remote Mailbox, you need to use the Hit the Road feature, as discussed previously.
