Hiding design elements
You can hide most design elements so that users can't see them on menus or lists. You do this in the Design tab of the Properties box for the design element or agent.

Choose from these options at the Design tab:

"Hide design element from"

Choose "Web browsers" to hide a Notes- or Mobile-only design element from Web users.

Choose "Notes R4.6 or later" to hide a Web- or Mobile-only design element from IBM® Lotus® Notes® users.

Choose "Mobile clients" to hide a Notes- or Web-only design element from Mobile users.

Choose all options to hide the design element from all users. This is useful when a design element launches only from a button or a formula, or if you designed the element for purposes that users don't need to know about.

"Do not show this design element in menus of Notes R4 or later clients"

Use this to hide older design elements from Notes Release 4 or later users.

Hidden design elements are hidden from the server too; you can't use IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) URL commands to access documents in hidden views or forms.

Tip To hide a design element that isn't needed by users but is used for background processes, such as lookup formulas, enclose the design element name in parentheses -- for example, (Lookup View) -- instead of using Hide When tab options.

1. Open a database in IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) Designer.

2. In the Design pane, select a design element.

3. In the Work pane, select the name of the design element you want to hide.
