Hiding a view from Notes users

• Deselect "Show in View menu" on the Options tab of the View Properties box.

  Omitting a view from the View menu applies only to Notes users, since Web users don't have access to IBM® Lotus® Notes® menus.

• Select the view name in the Applications Navigator and choose Design - Design Properties. Select "Hide design element from Notes R4.6 or later clients."

  Hiding a view from Notes clients is useful when you have a Web-only view or when you want to remove the view from both the View menu and the folders pane.

• Give the view a name and surround it with parentheses -- for example, (All).

• Open the design toolbox, click the view name in the right pane, and choose Design - Design Properties. Select "Hide design element from Web clients."

  Hiding a view from Web clients is useful when you have a Notes-only view, or when you want to remove the view from the folders pane and the Open Database Views list.

• Give the view a name and surround it with parentheses -- for example, (All).

If you have a view tailored to users of older Notes releases, you can hide the view from anyone using Lotus Notes Release 4.0 or later.

1. Open the Designer and click the view name.

2. Choose Design - Design Properties.

3. Click the Design tab and select "Do not show this design element in menus of Notes R4 or later clients."
