Normally, you have to use one or more views, with categorised columns and all that. But that's probably not what you want.<br />
<br />
Another possibility is to use a search form, in combination with full-text searching. Click View/Search this View, then click More at the right, then click either &quot;Form&quot; or &quot;Fill out example form&quot; to open a form. The form you can create in the Designer, it should have the property to appear as Search Form. The values you fill in are searched for in the database, in the corresponding fields.

I have had a quick search but could not find anything that clearly explained what I was looking for. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I would like to create a view which the user can select some criteria to show certain documents. &nbsp; &nbsp;Hiding certain documents would be an option but sure there is a better way.<br />

Any help appreciated, Richard

Lotus Notes View  - User Selecting Criteria

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
