| A template is a file that contains the structure for the database -- that is, forms and views -- but does not contains documents. Notes Designer comes with a collection of templates that you can use to create applications quickly. For example, to design a discussion database, use the Discussion template (DISCUSS4.NTF), which contains forms that track discussion threads in a hierarchy, as well as views that display the entries by date, author, or category. |
| You can set the database you create to continue to inherit design changes from the template. Then if someone redesigns the master template, your database automatically inherits the new design. |
