Extend the Power of Notes Views: Techniques for Creating User-Based Views and Query Assistants in the Notes Client
by André Guirard



from THE VIEW, September/October 2004, Volume 10, Issue 5


When a standard Notes view or query does not meet your application’s requirements, you can use the alternative techniques featured in this article to create custom search dialogs and views to display search results. You’ll see how you can customize the Fill Out Example Form dialog in the full-text search bar, create a custom dialog for a full-text search that can be executed in the current open view, and provide a powerful user-driven search based on relationships between documents. You’ll also see how to create selections in private and embedded views based on a user’s name or other personal attributes. A fully developed example of each technique is available in a database you can download from THE VIEW Web site.
