AUTOMATING TASKS USING SIMPLE AGENTS
This Help system covers the creation of simple agents. See Lotus Domino Designer 6 Help for information on creating more complex agents using Notes formulas, Lotus Script, or Java.
What agents can do
Agents can complete almost any action you can do manually in your databases. Use simple agents to automatically complete tasks such as:
How agents work
Agents are stored in databases. When you create an agent that only you can run, it's called a private agent; when you create an agent that you and other users can run, it is called a shared agent.
When you create an agent, you can set options to specify:
You can create and run an agent in any database stored locally, but before you can create agents to run on a database located on a Domino server, you must have sufficient access privileges. The Access Control List (ACL) of a database determines not only whether or not you can create an agent in the database, but what the agent can do, and how the agent interacts with other agents.
