1-2 Reserver for Lotus Notes 1.2 Installation and Administration Guide
Overview
Reserver for Lotus Notes is a client/server application, which displays customized Lotus
Notes forms that users can access to schedule audio and data conferences.
The Reserver for Lotus Notes application is supported by a Lotus Notes database file
(.NSF), which includes forms, fields, folders, views, and other presentation features like
database icons. When you have several databases on a server that you want to
standardize, you can use a Domino template file (.NTF), which is structurally identical to a
database but only includes design elements. The database files (NSFs) inherit the design
elements that are set up in the template.
Spectel provides a modified mail template that you copy from the Program Files directory
to the <Lotus installation drive>\Lotus\Domino\Data folder. Then, you can update all or
selected client database mail files (NSFs) with the Reserver for Lotus Notes NTF template
by running a load convert command. For instructions, see “Converting the standard client
NTF files” on page 1-7.
Here are two important points to consider:
• The original Lotus Notes NSF and NTF files remain intact in the Domino Mail server
directory.
• You can restore the original configuration by entering a single load convert command.
For more information, see “Restoring the standard Lotus Notes NTF files” on page 1-
10.
