21.1 Libraries
A library is a set of documents and a database that allows the documents to be managed as a unit. A library must belong to a specific post office but can be accessed by users in other post offices. The GroupWise client enables users to store and manage their documents in the library. The GroupWise Post Office Agent (POA) transfers documents between the GroupWise client and the library.
