Outline for N7D530:
Course Objective: You will use IBM®
Lotus® Domino Designer® 7 to develop multi-database applications.
Target Student: The target audience for this course is application
developers who have experience creating or modifying single database
applications with Lotus Domino Designer 6 or Domino Designer 7.
Prerequisites: Students taking this course should have experience
using the IBM® Lotus Notes® client to access applications and possess the
equivalent knowledge, skills, and experience developing Lotus Domino 6 or
Lotus Domino 7 applications. Students should have completed the Fundamentals
of Lotus Domino 7 Application Development or Developing Lotus Domino 6/6.5
Applications: Foundation Skills course.
Delivery Method: Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery
learning model with structured hands-on activities.
Performance-Based Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able
to:
- Use
formula language to inspect and manipulate text and lists values. You
will also use iterative statement functions.
- Implement
functions that interact with users through different types of dialog
boxes using the @Prompt and @Dialog Box functions.
- Implement
advanced view design features to enhance how Lotus Notes displays
documents.
- Examine
and use several IBM® Lotus® Domino® design elements as navigation
structures, including links and image maps.
- Create
and embed an outline.
- Add
a frameset to an application, add content to a frame, launch an
application frameset, include elements in a frameset, add new frames,
and specify a target frame for individual elements.
- Use
@DbColumn to access view column and document values in an IBM® Lotus®
Domino® database; use @Pick List to allow a user to choose column
values from a view; and use profile documents to store global data for
an application.
- Use
the formula language to access data sources using the Microsoft® Open
Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface.
- Examine
Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) and implement real-time
data mapping between an IBM® Lotus® Domino® application and a
relational database.
- Define
workflow, notify users when they need to become aware of an action in
the workflow, create a mail-in database document, route documents to
application databases, and track documents through the workflow
process.
- Control
who can edit sections of a document, attach a signature to an
access-controlled section, and encrypt data and mail messages.
