viewEZ – notes develop domino data tool

Overview

The common problems with Lotus Notes views

For all their usefulness, Lotus Notes views are frequently a major headache for developers. Any updates must be performed manually, one-by-one. And even basic cosmetic changes (like changing the colors of a number of views to meet corporate identity requirements) can require hours or even days of painstaking tedious repetition to complete. What's more, the need to perform all these repetitive manual tasks tends to introduce human error to the process of Notes development.

Ytria viewEZ is a solution for faster Notes development, here's what it lets you do:

Get a consistent, professional look-and-feel for all your Notes database views in minutes
Enhance the end-user experience by ensuring relevant columns are available where needed
Dramatically speed up development and maintenance for Notes applications
Expand your development capabilities—take advantage of practical features that are not part of the standard Domino Designer toolset
