Lotus Notes 7 Support
Lotus Training Overview

This course is designed for help desk personnel responsible for supporting both network based and mobile Notes 7 users.

The course starts with a technical discussion of how Notes and Domino work together. The course provides a very practical approach to fulfilling most user requests and solving many workstation problems, but at the same time helping you understand when to escalate problems to the proper Domino or Notes administrator or to a custom application developer.


Lotus Training Learning Objectives

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • install and configure Notes
  • configure Notes for multiple and roaming users
  • troubleshoot network connectivity, Domino Server access, and database access problems
  • understand and troubleshoot Notes User ID problems
  • configure Notes Mail and make it easier for users to correctly address messages
  • troubleshoot mail transfer and delivery problems
  • solve Mail database issues, including accidental database and message deletion, reducing file size to meet its quota, and redesigning the database
  • create private views and folders
  • solve and prevent document-related problems
  • export data from a view and create a mail-merge output file and import data into a view to create documents
  • create simple agents to automate Notes
  • configure Windows and Notes to use a modem
  • create Connection and Location documents
  • support mobile users who use Notes while disconnected from the network.

Lotus Training Audience

This course is designed for help desk workers responsible for direct Notes user support. These people do not typically have Domino Administrator or administrative rights to the Domino Server but are responsible for installing, configuring, and supporting Notes users.

Before taking this course, it is recommended that you have met these prerequisites:

  • are proficient using Lotus Notes 7 and Domino Web Access 7 and have mastered all of the Topics in the Lotus Notes 7 User Essentials and Domino Web Access 7 User Essentials courses
  • understand the principles and operation of personal computer networking using TCP/IP in LAN/WAN/Internet environments
  • have installed and supported the operating system used in this course (Windows 2000 or XP Professional), as well as applications used by those systems
  • know how to configure network interface cards and modems.
This course is part of a series of help desk worker training courses:



Courses later in the series assume that you have mastered the content of earlier courses. Depending on your job responsibilities, you may need to follow this course with the Lotus Notes 7 Administration course. This course is designed for administrators responsible for registering Notes users and developing Policies, and who have at least limited administrator rights to the Domino Directory. This diagram contrasts the audiences for the Lotus Notes 7 Administration and Lotus Notes 7 Support courses:
