Configuring the "Select Fields" UI

How to Add/Configure Fields in ‘Select Fields’ Feature

This section will cover how to – in the dialogue window for ‘Select Fields’ UI - add new fields as well as configure the labels and pick-lists of existing fields.  This operation presumes you have both Domino Designer, and the ACL rights to make design changes in the selected Mail File (Designer or Manager Access).  You may need to change to an ID that has those access rights for this operation.

We added a hidden Form called “(ienformcustom)” for this feature.  This Form comes with three UI fields set up for use and as an example:

“Edit Subject” – A Text Field that is hidden unless you are in an Email, and if the email has a Subject Line.  This Field allows you to change the text of a subject line.  This is helpful before you have the email saved to your Data Source, if you want to remove “Fw:Fw:”, “Re:”, or other language that does not relate to the body of the message.

“Task Type” – A Keyword Field with values that you configure to allow a user to specify the Task Type sent to the Data Source.  Examples would be: “Email”, “Call”, “Task”, “Appointment”, “Follow-Up”.

“<Blank>” – A second keyword field, however without the values set.  This will allow you a pre-made field set to use as a template for additional fields.  Copy these and paste in the Form, changing the names accordingly.  See below for further explanation.

In the following sections is covered making TEXT fields, KEYWORD fields, and finally the DISPLAY field.
