re: Auto-Populate the Signature field on Mobile Devices with the Notes Signature

Comment: This is much easier with iNotes. I understand the frustration. For Traveler, this would be easier with the Android client as IBM built that application. On the iOS devices, it is owned and controlled by Apple. The bigger issue is that IBM does not want to appear to favor one platform over the other---in my opinion---so when a feature is available on the Apple side, they tend to make it available on the Android side--thus ensuring balance, which I understand.

To that point, if Apple doesn't allow an API hook into their client, I feel there is little that IBM can do, as they are limited by Apple's code.

Though possibly one can generate a special 'Traveler signature' message from Notes that auto-fills the signature file on the mobile device, for a small set of smart phone operating systems. Outside of that, even passing down the field in a profile document would only work on Android.

Comment: Well, if you delegate, you can opt to be informed of updates to the meeting. It may not show as a gray or penciled option, but if there are any meeting minutes, or changes that may allow you to attend, you would know. Half-way there...

re: Have an option 'hide in type-ahead' for groups (& regular contacts)

Comment: I asked this of the core team at Lotusphere98, '99, '00, '01. I'm still waiting.

It was slated to be included in Notes 5.5, which never got released...and instead we went to R6. I think it got lost in the shuffle and despite my asking, management at the time, instead, created the multiple Group Type field in the directory: Access Control List Only, Servers Only, Deny List Only, Mail Only, Multi-purpose. Yes, this was a help of course, but it still didn't address the underlying issue for having mail lists appear in type-ahead.

As I recall, it was a hot PMR for my customer at the time as well. Point is that I concur, this should exist.

Perhaps Mail only, Mail only - Administration, to have it excluded in type-ahead, or a check-box for Mail only, that can only be set when one has Manager rights to the Directory.
-=-=-

What I did as a work-around is to preface each of these special groups with a character construct that is unique and rarely if ever typed in the organization. Then, put the group name after it. e.g. _$%^!zZZZ2w$2 -- <group_name>; As the odds of someone typing an e-mail address beginning with an underscore character was quite slim there. Then I would send the note to myself with these groups in the BCC field.

That is just one way...not necessarily the most elegant, but it does work.

Comment: Another good idea would be to allow us to put in X-Pages in the sign-in form mapping. Then we get much more control over where to redirect unauthenticated requests. e.g. Currently with forms it is impossible to generate a HTTP 302 status code. We have to fiddle with META tag redirects which are not supported by all clients.

Comment: I think when you test something, You should see consoles side-by-side. Or its easier to catch warnings, failures etc
What you request is exists now. On the left side you can select you see the list of server and You can click on them to view.

re: Richtext Field + some Text Fields: Double click on a word should just select the word - not a trailing blank behind it

Comment: Hm, it may not be a Notes specific topic. Meanwhile I've seen that some edit fields in different apps show this behavior as well.

Anyway, I'd like to have it. At least in Notes Designer. - For example: the forms editor selects a trailing blank on double click.
Most other fields are good now. :-)

Comment: ModifiedSinceSaved works fine from 5.0.9 till 8.5.3. It used in many default in-box Lotus Notes applications (for example Notes Mail Templates versions 5.0, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0, 8.5).
