MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Specifying a name, group type, and description for migrated groups
When creating a new Notes group from a migrated group, you can specify the name and type of the group, as well as provide an optional description of the group. You cannot modify this information if you are adding the migrating group to an existing Notes group.

Notes Group Name

This field displays the name that the migration tool will assign to an imported group. When creating a new Notes group from an imported group, you can retain the original name or specify a new name. By default, imported groups retain their original names, which appear in the Notes Group Name field. To rename the imported group, enter a new name in this field.

You can edit the group name only if you are creating a new Notes group for a migrating group. By default, imported groups retain their original names. For example, if you import a cc:Mail group called #admins, a Notes group created from this group would also have the name #admins.

You cannot edit this field if the group is an existing Notes group, or if you clear the check box "Create a new Notes group with the following settings."

Group type

If you create a new Notes group for a migrating group, you can edit the Group Type. You can create any of the following types of Notes groups:


By default, Domino Upgrade Services create Multi-purpose groups. For more information about migrating nested groups, see the topic Creating and modifying groups.

You cannot edit the Group type field if the group is an existing Notes group, or if you clear the check box "Create a new Notes group with the following settings."

Description

This field displays an optional description of the imported group, which the migration tool adds to the Description field of the Notes Group document. By default, if the imported group has description information available, it appears in this field.

You can edit the description only if you are creating a new Notes group for a migrating group. You cannot edit this field if the group is an existing Notes group, or if you clear the check box Create a new Notes group with the following settings.
