Customizing Notes Designer Template
Notes Designer ships with a collection of templates that you can use “as is” or customize for your organization. There are a few things to be done before you customize a Designer template:
1. Copy the template and deselect “Inherit future design changes.”
2. Give it a different file name in the Copy Database box to prevent future releases of Notes Designer templates with the original file name from writing over your customized template
3. Leave the design template name the same in the Database Properties box, so that existing database can be synchronized to it
4. Protect your customized views, forms, subforms, navigators, shared fields, or agents by selecting each component in the design pane, choosing Design | Design Properties, and selecting “Do not allow design refresh/replace to modify”
