Using Categories


Another powerful new feature of GroupWise 6.5 is categories . You can create unlimited color-coded categories for your messages based on anything you would like. There are four default categories to get you started: Follow-up, Low Priority, Personal, and Urgent. You could make a category for a project you are working on, assign a color to it, and be able to quickly tell if any message pertains to that project.

To assign a message or group of messages to a category, select a message with a single mouse click (or Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple messages), right-click, and select the category from the pop-up list of categories to the side of the QuickMenu when you move the mouse to Categories. Optionally, you can select Categories from the Actions menu.

To create additional categories, select Categories from the Actions menu and choose More. You will see the dialog box show in Figure 5.21.

Figure 5.21. The Categories dialog box lets you create and customize your own categories.

At the bottom of this dialog box, enter the name of the category you would like to create and then click Add. To change the color associated with any category, select the category, choose Edit Color, select your new color from the palette, and click OK.

From this same dialog box you can rename or delete a category; the "primary category" is the color that will display on an item with more than one category associated to it. For example, if you have associated Urgent and New Project to the same item, and Urgent is set as the primary category, the item will be displayed in red in the folder (if red denotes the Urgent category).
