Lotus Notes is powerful, multi-faceted software for Windows and Macintosh computers that helps people work together effectively. With Notes, people can work together regardless of technical, organizational, language, or geographical boundaries. Lotus Notes is designed to
perform tasks that normally require many applications to complete. With Lotus Notes, you have the power of the Internet combined with the versatility of Notes databases at your fingertips.
Notes extends the power of messaging and data exchange to bring you all the information that you need, whether that information is from Notes or the Internet.
Notes consists of three primary programs: a Domino server, an Internet standard server, and the Notes client.
The Notes client runs on a computer running Windows or Macintosh software. It communicates with Domino servers and Internet servers so you can use, among other things, shared databases, read and send mail, post messages to an NNTP newsgroup, find
people and databases, and browse the Web.
The Domino server - a computer running Windows or UNIX - provides services to Notes client users and other Domino servers including storage of shared databases and Notes mail routing.
An IMAP or POP3 server - any computer, such as one provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP), that allows you to read and send e-mail messages from your Notes client.

» How to display hidden views in a database
To display hidden views in a database, you must have Author access in the Access Control List (ACL) or higher to that database (that includes Author, Editor, Designer or Manager). To do this, hold down both the CTRL and SHIFT keys simultaneously and double-click the
database icon on your desktop. Continue to hold the CTRL key and SHIFT key down until the database opens. Once the database opens, the Navigator pane displays the names of all views, including any hidden views.
Note: A user with Reader access to a database can get mixed results. After multiple attempts, a user with Reader access can sometimes see the hidden views.
