How do I build a contact list within GroupWise Messenger?

You can organize your Contact List by dragging contacts and folders to the location you want them. Or, you can use the following steps:

Click Tools , then click Organize Contacts.

Click Contact names , then click Move Up or Move Down to change the position in the list.

To add a folder, click Add Folder , then type the folder name.

To move a contact to a folder, drag the contact to the folder, or click the contact, click Actions , click Move , select the folder from the drop-down list, then click OK.

Click Close.

Before blocking others, you should first build your allow list and then either block contacts individually, or use the everyone else feature.

•  Click on Tools
•  Select Options
•  Select the Privacy option listed in above image
•  Select <Everyone Else> in your allowed window at left
•  Click the Block >> button
•  Click Apply
•  Click OK

TIP: To quickly build your allow list, click the Add button to bring up a list of your current contacts already added to your main contacts view window. Once the Privacy Add dialog box appears, select the first contact while holding down the shift key on your keyboard, then use the down arrow to select all other contacts on this list. After all contacts are selected, click the OK button to add these contacts to your separate allow list.

If you are listed in the Contacts for a user on your block list, your user icon will appear no differently than any other user, unless you initiate contact with them.

If you initiate contact with a user that you've previously placed on your block list, your status will appear as "unknown" in their contact list from that point forward, unless you remove them from your block list.

You can send a broadcast message with GroupWise Messenger by clicking on Actions > Send Broadcast. You will then be prompted to choose contacts from your approved contacts list, or you can use the find user button to browse for someone not on your contacts list already.

A broadcast message is like a one-way instant message, you can send to others, but they can't respond back without opening a new, separate instant message.
