ELEMENTS OF LOTUS NOTES


Bookmarks: links to favorite documents, pages, and applications
Bookmarks are links that point to IBM Lotus Notes applications, views, documents, or Internet elements, such as Web pages and news groups. Bookmark folders organize your bookmarks. They can contain bookmarks or more folders.

You can copy and paste a bookmark as you would text or a document, and you can drag and drop a bookmark to the Bookmark bar, another folder, or from one workspace page to another. The following Bookmark folders appear by default on the Bookmark bar when you first open Lotus Notes:

Viewing your bookmarks

You can view your bookmarks in the Bookmark bar, Bookmark list, or in your Workspace. You can arrange bookmarks by dragging and dropping them where you want them. Bookmarks also have an extensive right-click menu.

Bookmark bar

The Bookmark bar is the list of icons that run down the left edge of the Lotus Notes window. Because it is always visible to you, the Bookmark bar provides easy access to your most often used bookmarks. Each icon on the Bookmark bar can open a bookmark or a list of bookmarks, including your favorite Web browser bookmarks.

View as a list

The Bookmark list displays bookmarks and bookmark folders. To open the list, click a folder icon in the Bookmark bar. To keep the list open, click the pushpin icon. To close the list, click anywhere in the main Lotus Notes window or click the X icon.

The Bookmark list includes Sort and View menus that you can use to customize your bookmark list or display them as a workspace. You can also click the New Folder icon to create a new bookmark folder, and a Search icon you can use to search for a specific bookmark.

Tip: You can use the type-ahead feature to locate a bookmark.

View as a workspace

As an alternative to the default vertical list of bookmarks, you can display your bookmarks like the workspace page (that is, icons arranged in a grid and organized by tabs). To display the bookmarks in this way, click a folder in the Bookmark bar and then click View > Display As Workspace at the top of the Bookmark list.
