Re: secondary address books

[Tom Kreimer <tkreimer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   If the departments are on different servers you *can* use different
   directory assistance documents per server. I imagine that is not the case.

   You can turn off type-ahead lookups in the location document of each
   client, I bet the users would looove that. However, an exaustive lookup
   (also in location document) might help some.

   Yes it will ask you, but the possibility for errors is too great.  And it
   they enter "Harry" instead of "Harold" and the desired one is loaded as
   Harold and the competitor is loaded as Harry trouble can result.

     Will Notes not ask you which Harold Smith you would like when it= finds
     two matches? That is for name lookups I mean. You can create a= ll the
     external directories you want (no clue if there is a limit, but = I've
     seen a dozen or so in use), and that way if they look up by direct= ory
     they can choose their own department.

     The Directory Assistance document contains some org level replicati= on
     control, and while I have not used it, I do not think it will do wha= t
     you want.

     Thank you.  I'll take a look at that.
   Is there a way to control this by department?  Like, systems m= ay have
   a
     list of IBM support personnel.  Our PPI division might = have a list of
     customer contacts at PPI.  Our DAT division might have = a list of
     contacts
     at DAT.  And we get some SERIOUS dings when we send an = email to
     "harold
     smith" at PPI when we meant harold smith at DAT; especial= ly since
   they
   are
   competitors.

     Old way: Cascaded directories. Make multiple directories and = list
     them
     each in Notes.ini on the NAMES= line, seperated by commas<= /tt>
     New way: Create a Directory Catalog and use Directory Assistence.= See
     the
     admin help for details. The admin help will also show you the
     = differences
     in the above methods.

     How do I do it so that all my users don't have to modify their
     settings? I
   was just about to send this memo out when there is this thought= at
   the
     back of my head telling me there is a better way.
     "We keep a list of certain critical support contacts here-->= ;>LINK
     REMOVED>
     Now, if you want to be able to search these addresses when you = do a  
       new
     memo, then do the following:
     Open the database-->>
     File, Replication, New Replica and create a Local replica
     File, Preferences, User preferences, Mail, General, Configurat= ion  and
       add   the SystemS.nsf"
