Novell GroupWise overview
The information in this help file is valid for applications making use of Intellisync’s support for all available features. For example, your application may or may not support Filtering or Field Mapping. Depending on your application’s level of support, some information may not apply.
Intellisync supports synchronizing Novell GroupWise (GroupWise) Address Book, Calendar, Tasks, Checklist, and Reminder Notes records.
If GroupWise is closed during synchronization, Intellisync opens the server component to access required data and closes it when synchronization is complete. If GroupWise is running during synchronization, view updates by pressing F5 to refresh the view or closing and re-opening GroupWise.
