Add a column in Lotus Notes (To Do's or Follow Ups)

Two ways:
a/ you get the Designer and you add a column
b/ you use a category like MainCat\SubCat ; you'll see that you get two category columns, when you use a backslash in the name. Try it!

I tried option b but it just looked like:
Excel\QA

No extra column. I am trying to do this in Lotus Notes Todos if that helps. I npticed subcategories mentioned for blogs but I could not find anything in help for email or todos.

Thanks!

At the left you should also see a view By Category. I assumed you were using that one. Try it please...

By the way, which Notes release do you use?

sjef bosman,

I am using Lotus Notes 8.0.

If I choose the view By Category it just groups them by the Category and SubCategory but I still do not get an extra column.

Thanks.

Back to option a then: use the Designer client to modify your view. It seems the only way to get what you want.

I don't know what the Designer Client is or where to find it. Lotus has been loaded bu the company so I predict I can't get to any design functions. Is there an easy way to tell if I have it and can use it?
Thanks.

The easy way would be to ask your Administrator, or your boss, because you do have to modify the design of the database and you need someone to do that for you. The Designe client is downloadable from the IBM site somewhere, so that shouldn't be a real problem.

Come to think of it: could you use Folders for this purpose, instead of categorizing documents? That you keep all documents for a certain project in a Project folder? Hm, not what you want prolly...

No Administrator involvement is going to happen. Is there another way?
I use folders for the e-mails but I want to have the To-Do's easily viewable.
Thank you for you assistance.
