9.3 Events That Trigger a Rule

There are several events that can cause a rule that you create to be activated. In addition, you can
limit the items that are affected by a rule. For more information, see
Rule" on page 179.
Events That Trigger a Rule
Table 9-2
Event Result
New Item The rule is triggered when a new item is placed in your GroupWise Mailbox.
Clicking Received lets only incoming items trigger the rule. Clicking Sent lets
only items you send trigger the rule. Clicking Posted triggers the rule each
time you create a posted appointment, reminder note, or task. Clicking Draft
lets only items marked as unfinished, or draft, trigger the rule.
Filed Item The rule is triggered when an item is placed in a specific folder. If you do not
specify a folder, the rule is triggered when an item is moved to any folder.
Completed Item The rule is triggered when a task is marked as complete.
Open Folder The rule is triggered when you open a specific folder. If you do not specify a
folder, the rule is triggered when you open any folder.
Close Folder The rule is triggered when you close a specific folder. If you do not specify a
folder, the rule is triggered when you close any folder.
Startup The rule is triggered when you start GroupWise.
Exit The rule is triggered when you exit GroupWise.
User Activated The rule can only be triggered by selecting the rule in the Rules dialog box,
then clicking Run. For example, instead of a rule always moving certain items
into a folder, you might want the items to accumulate in your Mailbox until
you're ready for them to be moved all at once. To trigger a rule manually, you
must first select the items or folders the rule affects in your Mailbox or
Calendar view.

9.4 Creating a Rule

Rules can help you sort your messages, inform others that you're on vacation, or forward your
messages to another e-mail account.
