Here are the general steps in planning your view.

1. Before you create the view, think about:

• Whether the view style will be an outline view or a calendar view.
• The type of view you want (shared, private, and so on).
• Whether the view will be displayed on the Web. If so you may want to consider creating an embedded view on a form, subform, page, or document or consider creating a view applet or an embedded view applet.
• The categories in the view.

3. Name the view.

4. Add columns to the view.

5. Set up the documents to display in the view by writing the view's document selection formula.

6. Set up what will display in each column by programming the column value.

7. Set up the sorting order for the columns.

8. Set the style for the view, row, and columns.

9. Save and close the view.

Folders

Folders are containers used to store related documents or groupings of documents. Folders have the same elements as view and are designed much the same way. For more information on designing folders, see IBMR LotusR NotesR Client Help.
