Displaying Appointment Length by Duration or by End Date and Time
By default, GroupWise displays appointment length by duration. That is, when you create an
appointment, a field displays where you can enter an amount of time (such as 30 minutes or 2 hours)
to indicate the length of the appointment.
If you prefer, you can specify an end date and time for each appointment. If configured this way,
GroupWise displays a field for entering an end date and another for entering an end time when you
create a new appointment.
