1) Add the rule to a user in your Groupwise system (open groupwise and login to a users account) click on tools | rules | new | specify name and options | add an option (note: This is where you will want to enter your Groupwise Variables, (list at bottom)) and save.

  

 












2) Next open vertigo | conect to groupwise system | select user that you applied the rule to | click on the rules tab (you may have to scroll right).










Select the rule you want to copy to another user | click copy | select users to receive rule | click ok | close the copy window when complete | check user rule was copied to, in order to verify the variable changed.
