Re: Assigning policies -- DOMINO400

If you already have an established process, then that works fine and may be
simpler going forward. But that's just for YOUR situation, not everyone
will work the same as you as you've shown that your requirements may be
different than most others. The good thing is that the product allows for
flexibility! If you don't want to mess with having to create agents to
modify users and views to keep track of user-based policy assignment, then
managing it via the policy definitely is easier.

Have you looked into using auto-populated groups along with policies?

How? How does it make it easier to manage?

We have everyone's mail files clustered between four Domino servers. 1, 2,
3 are IBM i based in northeast indiana. 4 is Windows based in Mexico.
(Boss is creeping that windows crap in here for economy. Load is just
under 3US/1MX).

We have a group that says US and one that says MX. Problem is there is
some overlap. There's this small plant in El Paso... And just some US
people who want to know when an email is sent to everyone in MX and vice
versa. So we'd have to create two new groups.
Our whiz bang Notes developer can do anything and he can do this if we
want him to.. Write something that can determine where the employee is
currently assigned (there are transfers on occasion) and remove them from
one group (if they're in there) and put them in the other. He's saying
that it would be easier to just update the person doc. I respect him.
When I say squat, he produces in spades. He already has Notes logic he
uses to switch people from their individual facility groups based on where
HR says they're assigned.
So, before I tell him that it just makes it easier for us to manage I want
to tell him why it makes it easier.

Because it makes it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to manage who the policies are
assigned to.

We've yet to come up with two good groups that would easily distinguish
between 1 of 2 policies to assign people to. So, we would have to make
two new groups.

Tell me again, why do I want to put assignment in the policy instead of
the person doc?
