CREATING A NEW NOTES MAIL FORM TEMPLATES
All Notes mail documents are composed of two parts—the FORM note and the DATA note. The FORM note contains the definition of each field in the mail document. These fields can be static text, images or binary attachments. However, all of these fields are stored as binary information under the Lotus Notes environment. As a result, the Notes connector requires the form templates so that NOTESOUT can export the information to the right fields in a pre-defined format in Internet e-mail messages.

The database (FORMS.BTR) located under the FORMS sub-directory of the Internet Exchange Installation stores the mappings of the Notes Form template name and the corresponding ASCII form file (with extension .FRM).

To create a new mail form template, do the following:

  1. Enter the values for the Notes form name and ASCII form name fields.
  2. Click the Add button to store the mappings in the database.
