Upgrading to a new Domino Directory template
When a new version of the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Directory template (PUBNAMES.NTF) becomes available, you'll want to use it so that you can take advantage of new Domino features. Complete this procedure to preserve your customizations when you upgrade your customized copy of the Domino Directory template to a new version of the template.

These steps use ACMENAMES.NTF as the file name for the copy of the Domino Directory template. Where ACMENAMES.NTF appears, substitute the file name of the copy of the Domino Directory template you created.

1. For each visible view in ACMENAMES.NTF that came with the Domino Directory and that you customized, from the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Designer choose File - Document Properties, click the Design tab (third tab from the left) and deselect "Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify." Deselecting the option ensures that the views receive all design changes from the new version of the Domino Directory template.


2. Open ACMENAMES.NTF, choose File - Application - Refresh design, select a server that has a new version of the default Domino Directory template (PUBNAMES.NTF), and click OK.

3. If you created subforms to customize forms, re-insert the subforms into the appropriate forms in ACMENAMES.NTF. If you customized built-in subforms for Person, Group, or Server\Certifier forms, you do not need to complete this step.

4. To hide a section of one of the forms that comes with the Domino Directory, do the following in ACMENAMES.NTF:

5. For each view in ACMENAMES.NTF that came with the Domino Directory and that you customized, choose File - Document Properties, click the Design tab, and then select "Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify."
