NotesBook: your Lotus Notes Notebook (Journal) for iPhone or iPad (Lotus Traveler does not sync the Notebook/Journal) Click here to get the NotesBook in the Appstore! Support >> Please click here to get support! << Usage Open the App, enter your name and password for Domino, the hostname of Domino and the path to your roaming folder. After that, the content of your personal Lotus Notes Notebook (Journal) will be downloaded and is then available on the iPhone or iPad, even when you're offline. What you need to make sure You have to be a Lotus Notes roaming user, that means your Lotus Notes Notebook (journal.nsf) needs to be available on a Domino server. The Domino server needs to be accessible via Web (http or https), and you need to know it's hostname. Domino and Lotus Notes should be version 8 or higher (older Domino versions may work, but are not tested). You need to know the folder of your journal.nsf file on the Domino Server (for example 'roaming/jdoe') Please ask your administrator if you are unsure about these details. Screenshots Sitting in the office versus being on the road It's perfectly fine if the Domino server is reachable from your office network only when your iPhone or iPad is able to connect to the same network via Wifi. But that also means that you can synchronize your Lotus Notes Notebook only if you are in the office. If you want to synchronize while being away from the office, the Domino server needs to be reachable from the public internet or VPN. Troubleshooting and FAQ You get a error message about failed login or wrong URL. Doublecheck that your username, password, hostname and roaming path are correct in this App's settings. A hostname looks like 'domino.acme.com', and the roaming path should look like 'roaming/jdoe', 'roaming/doe' or 'roaming/john.doe'. Hint: you can find the path in the "roaming" tab of your person document in the Domino Directory, too. The download progress bar get's stuck. This can happen due to network issues. Restart the app and try again. Sometimes the App starts synchronizing automatically, sometimes not. The App starts a synchronization automatically if more than 24h passed since the last restart of the App. I have images and attachments in my notes, but they don't display on the iPhone. Indeed, images and files are not support yet. But we're working on it. I'm using sections, in the App some of them are expanded and visible, others are not. Currently the first 10 sections are expanded automatically while the content is downloaded. Unfortunately at this moment there is no solution for expanding all sections automatically, so you can either restrict yourself to use 10 sections at the most or you set your sections to auto-expand. My Notebook contains more than 1000 entries and I'm missing entries in the iOS App. Please ask your Domino administrator to increase the value of the "Maximum lines per view page" field in the web site document or server document. Known Issues Images and attachments are not visible yet. It is planned to allow images and attachments to be downloaded to the device. Planned improvements for coming versions Creating new documents directly on the device and pushing them the Lotus Notes Notebook. Password protection for the App. Availability for Android. Support If you have questions or issues, please check support.youatnotes.com/support! Technical Information Unfortunately Lotus Travler does not sync the personal Lotus Notes Notebook/Journal, so we decided to build an App for that. NotesBook was developed using the YouAtNotes Domino To Go Framework, which is based on Titanium. Titanium provides a simple to use, JavaScript based environment for developing native Apps for iPhone, iPad and Android. YouAtNotes Domino To Go delivers ready-to-use components for synchronizing Domino data and makes Titanium development even easier.
