Hiding a Rich-Text field in Lotus Notes

Hiding a rich-text field. This is what my sis has been trying to achieve from past 2 hours now. Ah... it feels so irritating when you try to use all sorts of hide-when condition and it doesn't work. We tried normal field properties hide-when condition, tried sections, tried computed/computed for display etc. It did not hide.

Then I tried to google about it. It showed me several links with all stories in it. In the summary of a link I saw the name "subform". Eureka!!! I found it.



Then she created two subforms, ReadBody and EditBody and used the following formula in my main form.
@If(@IsMember("[< Role >]";@UserRoles);"< ReadOnlySubform >";"< EditOnlySubform >")

In the EditBody subform she created a RichText field with name as Body and Type as Editable, with default value as Body.


In the ReadBody subform she created a RichText field with name as dispBody and Type as Computed, with default value as Body.


In the main form, she added the subform as Computed one; set the formula as:
@If(@IsMember("[Roster Admin]";@UserRoles); "ReadBody"; "EditBody")


Thus, for the people with a specific role, the RichText field is editable and for other it's a read-only field.

It's now so easy to hide RichText fields or just making them Read-Only.

Hope you find this solution valuable.

Automatically Moving Return Receipts to Folder

I wanted to move the Return Receipts that I receive to my mailbox, to be moved to the folder I created under Folders, named as "Return Receipts".

Tried some agents - did not work.
Tried rules that check for the Subject field containing "RECEIVED:" - did not work.

Then I forgot about it.

Few days back I again recollected of this task. I tried to check some unique fields or field values that differentiates the Return Receipts from the normal Memo.
I tried hard, could not find any unique field.
And suddenly my attention went to the Form field.
Yes, yes, yes. I found it.

Now, the job is to check if the Rules section takes care of the Form field or not. Or is it just for the Subject field only.

And I found it...



Now all my Return Receipts automatically go to the folder that I created, instead of remaining in Inbox.

CHI Hair Products

With limited time and products, I had to find creative ways to get myself ready for a wedding and the reception. Luckily, one of the few items I has around were the CHI products, hair iron, spray, olive shampoo, olive conditioner and nail polish. Overall verdict - B+.

The iron was definitely an A++. LOVED IT and in fact this was the saviour of the day. I was amazed at how quickly it heated up to temperature. In fact, there is a feature on the one I have that allows you to designate the temperature of your choice. This was perfect for my quality of hair since it's on the fine side and quickly to burn if I do it wrong.

The volume hair spray is on the sticky side and reminds me of the Aqua Net chemical mix version. Olive shampoo and conditioner are good to use from time to time but really nothing I can rave about. Redken for my kind of hair still works much better and has it beat.

Nail polish products, yes folks, CHI has nail polish and they are wonderful products! In this area, surprisingly the nail polish lasts and has little to no breakage in the coating if you keep it on for a week or so. I found OPI to be a great nail polish product and I can safely say that CHI can definitely give it a run for it's money.

Getting more responses on Monster

I found a great way to post your resume on Monster and increase your visibility among the recruiters. The downside to the process is having the time to go in once a day and re-upload the same resume into your account. It's time consuming but it will keep your status current and in the potential candidate list. Also, make sure you keep your job titles simple and specific to the common ones used in the profession you are seeking like general manager and restaurant manager. If you deviate into other unique titles like retail lead or something that a recruiter won't likely use as a key word in their search, then your resume won't get the views it deserves.
