Overview
®
GroupWise Document Management Services (DMS) lets users create documents with integrated
applications, save them, then easily locate a specific document later without knowing the
application, a specific document name, or the document's physical location. Users can create, share,
locate, edit, view, and check out documents that are created under the management of GroupWise
DMS.
A GroupWise DMS system consists of the following components:
Section 21.1, "Libraries," on page 293
Section 21.2, "Document Storage Areas," on page 295
Section 21.3, "Documents," on page 295
Section 21.4, "Integrations," on page 298
21.1 Libraries
A library is a set of documents and a database that allows the documents to be managed as a unit. A
library must belong to a specific post office but can be accessed by users in other post offices. The
GroupWise client enables users to store and manage their documents in the library. The GroupWise
Post Office Agent (POA) transfers documents between the GroupWise client and the library.
