| Description: | Notes 8.0.2 added a new feature to enable the selection column in Notes 8 mail. This selection column was present in previous versions of Notes, but, was not enabled in the initial release of Notes 8.0. Now, in 8.0.2, a user can enable this selection column by editing the Notes preferences. This tip will show how to do that. |

The content in the courses can be easily customized to fit your organization's needs. An integrated discussion database is used to allow the student to ask questions of an instructor/support person. A list of topics in the course can be deployed in the Notes 8 sidebar to allow for a quick reference. Try out TLCC's Notes 8 user course for yourself at no charge!

By default, Notes Mail does not include the Selection Column on the left side of its views to select multiple messages. However, as the following image shows, the Selection Column can be enabled if you prefer to select mail messages using this familiar interface.
To enable the Selection Column for mail, select the additional option to 'Show check marks in margin for selected documents' on the Basic Notes Client Configuration page in the Notes Preferences. In addition to the mail views, this setting applies to any view that uses the Java views, like those in the local Contacts application. |
