How to Provide Browser Users with Personalized Views on an Intranet Web Site
by Page Nix


from THE VIEW, July/August 1999, Volume 5, Issue 4



The focus of this article is on using an extensive set of Notes and Web techniques to design personalized views of a Notes database for intranet users. When users open this database from their company’s intranet home page in their Internet browser, they go to a personalized page that contains a list of reports they’ve elected to access in one frame, and the full list of database reports in another frame. They can add links to their personalized views — not just to database documents, but to any Internet site as well. The author uses a working sample database to lead you through the steps for building the application, showing you how to use Notes formula language, agents, JavaScript, LotusScript, and HTML to build the site. You can download the database itself ---- for free — both an R4.5 version and an R4.6 version — from THE VIEW’s Web site.
