Put an End to Time-Wasting Repetition in Lotus Notes View Development

The common problems with Lotus Notes views

For all their usefulness, Lotus Notes views are frequently a major headache for developers. Any updates must be performed manually, one-by-one. And even basic cosmetic changes (like changing the colors of a number of views to meet corporate identity requirements) can require hours or even days of painstaking tedious repetition to complete. What's more, the need to perform all these repetitive manual tasks tends to introduce human error to the process of Lotus Notes development.

• Get a consistent, professional look-and-feel for all your Lotus Notes database views in minutes
• Enhance the end-user experience by ensuring relevant columns are available where needed
• Dramatically speed up development and maintenance for Lotus Notes applications
• Expand your development capabilities—take advantage of practical features that are not part of the standard Domino Designer toolset

viewEZ Fact Sheet

Total view and column analysis

• See all the view columns in a database in an easy-to-read table: View columns are presented in a printable spreadsheet-like table to help you see the column used in any given view or folder—you can even print out a ‘map’ of columns to quickly make sense of the most complex Notes databases.
• Visually analyze columns with quick-and-easy color-coding schemes: Use F-keys to toggle between five handy color-coding options for quick visual inspections of columns in your entire application.
• Know exactly where shared columns are used: This lets you quickly understand the impact of any changes to shared columns before you commit to them.
• Search in column formulas: Helps you understand your application views better by finding all columns that fit a given criteria.
• Compare formulas: Compare column formulas side-by-side, enabling you to visually spot key differences in a formula.

Faster Lotus Notes development and troubleshooting for views and columns

• Copy, move or delete columns quickly with a point-and-click interface: Copy/paste and drag-and-drop column management—even across different Notes databases.
• Mass edit several columns at once—even if they're used in different design elements: Simply select one-or-more columns, then double-click to begin modifying their properties.
• Select multiple views and mass edit their properties: Save hours of your time and achieve application-wide consistency in a single step.
• Search and replace in formulas: With viewEZ you can search and replace strings in all your column formulas—this can save hours of tedious labor.

Extend the power of Domino Designer

• Turn any existing column into a shared column with a click: It's never been easier to make use of shared columns in your applications.
• Use an existing view or folder (from any database) as a template: Work faster, avoid time-consuming repetition and ensure application-wide consistency by using existing views as templates.
• Preview a view: Easily preview a view under development with any sample of documents—without waiting for the view to rebuild its (potentially huge) index.
• Purge multiple view indexes: Purge one or multiple view indexes—no need to open Domino Administrator and purge each index one at a time.
