GWAVA was contacted by a GroupWise administrator, Mario van Rijt, who runs a GroupWise system for a well-known Dutch theatre/concert hall. Now that the theatre season is over, Mario and his colleagues can soon enjoy a well deserved holiday. Before Vertigo, he had been creating vacation rules for every user one at a time. He first had to access each account individually and change the password. He then would create a new vacation rule in each account. Upon returning from his vacation, he would have to access each account individually and turn it off again. Then he had to re-issue everyone new passwords for their accounts.
Mario asked GWAVA how he might set up all of the vacation rules in GroupWise for his colleagues and himself. He did not want to spend all of his vacation accessing each account individually and setting up rules for each one. He wondered whether Vertigo could help him set up a vacation rule for all of his colleagues. After speaking with GWAVA, he downloaded the Vertigo evaluation. Then it only took him a couple of minutes to do the following:

1. He created a valid vacation rule in a Resource mailbox .
2. Then he started up Vertigo and selected this Resource mailbox from within Vertigo.
3. He clicked the 'Rules' tab and then selected the rule he just created in step 1.
4. He clicked the 'Copy' button, selected the users to which the rule had to be copied and clicked 'OK.'

Vertigo then copied the rule out to all of the users he had selected.
Done! When Mario returns from his vacation, he only has to run a rules report and delete all vacation rules from there. It's a simple matter of querying the report for the specific names he gave to the rules. After selecting those vacation rules, he can enable them or disable them from within the report. It's that easy. Now, this GroupWise administrator can enjoy his vacation as well.
Vertigo changes the rules ... Look for yourself; a 30-day evaluation can be downloaded here .
