APPLICATION DESIGN

Customizing the Designer Tools menu
You can customize the Tools menu in IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) Designer to include menu items that launch other applications or your own custom formulas. For example, you might want to include a menu item to launch your favorite image editor while you are in the list of images, or you might want to add a formula that you can launch at any time that automates your design process. When you add a tool, you can specify when you want the tool available. You might need some tools for every phase of your design work, and other tools for use with very specific design activities, such as designing a page or a frameset. In this way, you can personalize your application development process throughout your Designer desktop.

To add a tool

1. Select Tools - Add Tool.

2. Enter the name of the tool.


3. Do one of the following: 4. In the Tool Location section, specify one or more contexts when the tool should be available. That is, if you do not want the tool to be always available, choose the design elements where you might use the tool in your design work. For example, if you select Form Design, the tool will be available during form design; if you select Form list, the tool will be available from the tool menu when you are in the list of forms.

5. Click OK.
