Foil 92 Navigators

From Lotus Notes and Domino Server Tutorial ITEA HPCC Conference Aberdeen Md. -- July 13 98. by Yuping Zhu, Geoffrey C. Fox


A database navigator is like a roadmap that directs users to particular parts of an application. The basic Notes navigator presents a graphical display of folders, views and design elements, but you can create a custom navigator that users graphics, formulas or scripts to best present your application. Most navigators include "hotspots" -- that is, programmed areas that a user clicks to execute an action. A hotspot can be text, graphics or a combination.
You create a navigator by combing objects. These might include a background graphic for display only and some combination of graphic buttons and text objects. To create navigator objects, import or paste objects from another application or use the drawing tools Notes supplies
