GETTING STARTED

Putting views to work
Of the three panes in Notes -- the navigation pane, the preview pane, and the view pane -- the view pane is the most versatile. The view pane allows you to select and open documents, copy and paste documents, delete documents, print documents, print a list of all items in a view, forward documents to other people, and search for documents that contain specific text. However, the database designer can choose to include or not include any of these system actions when he or she creates the view, so there are some views that may not have the functionality of other views.

If the design allows it, you can collapse the view to show fewer items. When you collapse a view, Notes hides documents under categories or response documents under main documents. Collapsing the view helps you find a main item; you can then expand a selected item, or the item and all its subordinate items.
