| Put a Notes View into the Notes 8 Sidebar | 07/07/2008 | Click here to see this tip! |
| | Notes 8.0.1 added the ability to put a Notes view in the Notes 8 sidebar as a widget. Widgets can then be deployed across your organization using a desktop policy and a Widget catalog. One use of this is in the TLCC user courses. A list of all the lessons in the course can be deployed in the sidebar to allow for easy access to a particular lesson. One issue with standard Notes views is that they require the user to double-click a document to open it. This may not be intuitive in the sidebar. This tip will cover a solution to allow the user to single-click a document in the sidebar and will also describe how to create the Widget and deploy it in the Widget catalog for use by all your users.

| Importing and Exporting Domino Design Elements | 04/23/2007 | Click here to see this tip! |
| | How do you send a design element, like a form, from one Domino database to another? One way to do this is to simply cut and paste the design elements. This works well when both databases are accessible to you. Suppose you want to mail a design element to another developer? You could mail the entire database, but, then you might be sending more than you wanted. Another way is to cut and paste the design elements into a new blank database. This tip will present a better way to export and then import design elements using DXL.
DXL is a way to express a Domino object (document or design) in an XML file format. This tip will use DXL to export one or more Domino design elements (any type) and then import them into another Domino database.
