ELEMENTS OF LOTUS NOTES

Working with views
Use the navigation pane to switch views easily. In addition, you can perform a variety of tasks from the View menu, such as refreshing the view, showing only the unread or selected documents, or searching the view. For views that have numerous documents organized under numerous categories, use the View > Expand/Collapse options to expand or collapse the categories or subcategories you want.

To open a different view in a new window, so that you have two views open in the same application, select a view, and then right-click and choose Open in new window.

To switch views while keeping your selected documents highlighted, press and hold Ctrl while you select a different view. If a document is not included in the view you switch to, Notes audibly beeps.

To show or hide the preview pane, from the menu click View > Preview Pane and then check or uncheck Show Preview.

If open a document in a view, and then accidentally close the view, you can open the view without closing the document by clicking View > Go up to Parent View.
