Paper documents

Lotus Notes possiblities are founded upon the concept of NotesDocument, which is just like a paper document. Paper documents are flexible because they can be updated in a breeze. For example you can add a date stamp to any paper document when it arrives to you, even if it was not created with a white space for that purpose. NotesDocuments can be individually changed as needed, both pasting in and cutting information from them.

Open a page from a document in a view

Some documents with web bookmarks appear in a Notes view. How do you open a bookmarked page bypassing the opening of the corresponding Notes document?
Two solutions follow: one uses Notes magic, and the other the InViewEdit event.

Notes magic

  1. Create a Dummy form, used for doing nothing (it sounds weird but works)
  2. Dummy: for preventing document creation, it should have a field [SaveOptions]=0 (text /computed for display)
  3. Dummy: for preventing form opening, it shoud have a sentence Continue = False in the QueryOpen script
  4. View: for inhibiting the default behaviour, in the FormFormula object write “Dummy”
  5. View: put the formula @UrlOpen( Bookmark ) into the QueryOpenDocument formula

now, if you double click the Bookmark document, the page (just it) appears in a new window

InViewEdit event

Something special happens if an editable column shows a value as an icon: The SAVE_REQUEST type of the InViewEdit event is triggered as soon as the user clicks on the icon.
