IBM Lotus Domino 6 Designer Developing Applications, Intermediate Skills

Outcomes

This course builds on the skills of Lotus Education's Developing IBM Lotus Domino 6 Applications: Foundation Skills (ND510) course. Through instructor lecture and student-centered activities and exercises, students learn to use IBM Lotus Domino Designer 6 to develop multi-database applications.
This course examines navigation elements such as links, outlines, and framesets that bind the components of the application together and allow users to locate information quickly and easily. The course explores advanced formula techniques including looping, error checking, and user interaction with the application. The course explains different methods for access data sources outside the current Domino database including other Domino databases and relational databases. Other topics include adding workflow functionality to route documents and notify users that a document requires their attention, and security issues such as encrypting data.
