The tightest-integrated Internet client in the industry benefits you with the combination of the
best features in one seamless, easy-to-use mail, calendar, and Web client.
Productivity features – New with R5
• The Welcome page
Notes R5 introduces the concept of a Welcome page – the first page you see when you
start the client. The default welcome page for the client is a basic page with a simple,
easy-to-learn user interface. Users can access mail, a calendar, and their personal
contacts. You can change the Welcome page to one of the styles provided by the client or
customize your own Welcome page.
• The Headlines page
This provides a user-customizing environment to navigate, filter, access and act on
information, regardless of where that information originates: your inbox, a Web site, or a
news group.
• Subscriptions
The ability to monitor Domino databases for documents that match your specific criteria is
a major innovation in R5.
• The navigation bar
This contains tools very similar to the "forward" and "back" buttons browser users would
recognize. In addition, there is a stop and refresh button (works to refresh all applications
including mail), a search button, and the ability to enter a URL address to invoke Web
browsing in Notes.
• Bookmark bar with bookmark buttons
Using these buttons, you can access such core Notes applications as Mail and Calendar
that were previously located on the R4 Notes desktop. These new Notes R5 bookmark
buttons and folders allow you to create links to a wide variety of information whether they
are part of a Domino application or from some other source.
• Window tabs
This way of working adds to the Web-like feel of the Notes R5 client and provides a much
richer information management tool than simple browsers can provide.
• HTML editing
With support for HTML 4, the Notes editor becomes an excellent Web content creation
source. With control over items like images and tables, users can instantly create
great-looking pages, in full-fidelity HTML, with support for native formats such as
animated GIFs and JPEGs.
