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" |
