APPLICATION DESIGN

Designing a form for a Domino billing application
IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) billing is a server function that tracks server usage. Domino billing tracks only the documents that you specify. To specify the documents to track, you must add one or both of the following hidden fields to the form that creates the documents.
Use this fieldTo create a billing record when users
$ChargeReadOpen a document that contains this field
$ChargeWriteCreate, copy, edit, or save a document that contains this field

To specify which documents to track

1. On the form that you want to track, create a field named $ChargeRead, $ChargeWrite, or create one of each.

2. Set the field type to Number.

3. Select Currency.

4. On the Hide tab, hide the field for all options.

5. Assign a cost value to the field.


6. Save the form.

Note If there are many documents you want to track, you can create a shared field and add it to multiple forms. If a database is updated by a template, you can modify the template to include the hidden fields.
