Creating Automatic Forwarding 

Use

You can create automatic forwarding to another address for a time period when you are away on business, for example, and have access to the Internet. In this case, you can send documents to a mailbox that you can access at any time from your note book or from any computer.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the Business Workplace, choose Settings ® Private office settings.

       2.      Call the tab page Automatic forwarding.

       3.      Choose  .

       4.      Enter a recipient address and the time period in which automatic forwarding is to be active.

The possible entries Internet address, X.400 address and Remote SAP Name are available when you are specifying an external address that is not stored in the address management.

       5.      Select whether you want all documents or only functional documents to be forwarded.

       6.      Select whether the documents that are forwarded are also to remain in your Workplace inbox.

       7.      Choose  .

Result

Documents sent to your Workplace inbox are forwarded to the specified recipient in the specified time period. It is possible that an administrator has specified in shared office settings that confidential documents are not to be sent externally. In this case, if you forward documents externally (for example, to an Internet address), confidential documents remain in your SAP inbox, regardless of whether you have selected the option Also place in inbox.

You can create automatic forwarding several times (for different time periods!). The forwarding that is currently active is flagged with  in the private office settings. You may change or delete the forwarding at any time. Click on  to call further information on a forwarding entry.

In contrast to manual forwarding, the forwarder is not displayed in the inbox list when documents are forwarded automatically.
