| Description |
| During this course you will explore the more advanced aspects of a Lotus Notes database design. This course expands your understanding of the Notes event programming and security models so that you can build sophisticated, interactive, and secure applications. |
|
| Course Goals |
This course enables you to:
- program robust and secure applications appropriate for Notes Clients
- determine which programming language is appropriate for particular tasks
- exploit the object event programming model
- write complicated @Function formulas and utilize simple LotusScript
- secure documents using Authors/Readers fields and controlled access sections
- utilize mail and field-level document encryption
- improve form function and appearance using conditionally displaying text and features, by prompting users for information, and by using alternate forms
- integrate Lotus Notes and external database data into Lotus Notes forms using @DB functions
- use environment variables, profile documents, and other well-known locations to store data across sessions
- create forms that automatically launch OLE embedding server applications (including Lotus Components) and use Notes/FX to exchange information with those objects.

| Intended Audience |
This is an intermediate, hands-on programming course designed for individuals who have:
extensively used a wide variety of Lotus Notes applications
created and maintained basic applications for at least three months
proficiency in navigating in Lotus Notes design pane and properties boxes
programmed Lotus Notes fields and agents using @Functions and @Commands
utilized a variety of Lotus Notes functions, including @If, @UserName, @Today, @Text, SELECT, and FIELD
maintained database security using the Access Control List and form/view access lists.
This course assumes thorough understanding of basic application development using Notes that can be gained from the
Basic Application Development
Techniques course. You should also have substantial experience building applications using that knowledge before attending this course. This course provides only a brief introduction to LotusScript, which can be learned more fully from the course
Basic Application Scripting
