GroupWise: working together the WordPerfect way
Article Abstract:
Novell's GroupWise for Windows 4.1 workgroup software may make firms restructure the way they do business. GroupWise's messaging features allow users to send messages with a mouse click, but its workflow capabilities outshine its ease of use. Users can route a message to a number of recipients and specify the order in which they are to receive it. Users can also recall an unopened mail or phone message. The Notify utility can run in the background to alert users to their incoming messages. The Rules utility allows users to specify a specific routine an item must perform. For example, an incoming message can be sent automatically to a folder. GroupWise allows users to schedule a meeting with other users by employing a dialog box to schedule other users for a meeting and notify them of the appointment at the same time. A proxy feature permits one user to allow another access to a calendar or mail box. A filter utility lets users receive only important messages in their inboxes.

Electronic forms for the WordPerfect office
Article Abstract:
Novell's Informs 4.1 electronic forms program is reaching maturity. The program consists of two modules, the Designer for producing the forms and the Filler for entering the information into the forms. Informs looks very much like WordPerfect 6.1 word processing software, with powerbars, toolbars and support for the right mouse button. Developing the form involves choosing from a list of objects such as tables, list boxes, lines, radio buttons, bar codes and signature boxes, then dragging and sizing them. The forms may be connected to an existing database in the most popular platforms on the market or may be set to create their own databases. Users may query the databases using boolean search operands. Informs works especially well with Novell's Groupwise groupware, but any e-mail system may be used to route the forms. An existing document may be scanned in to serve as a template for the electronic form, but recreating it still takes a great deal of time.
