7.
Click the Design tab in the InfoBox, then in the Template name box
under “Database is a template,” enter the same template name as the
backup copy (for example, DominoDocFileCabinet for HR).
Copying the customizations to the new template
After you create each new template database, copy or manually add any
customizations from the backed up copy of the old custom template (found
with a 1tf extension in the highest numbered ddbu subdirectory of your
server’s data directory) into the newly created custom template.
For example, if you created a new template named filecabhr.ntf, you would
incorporate the customizations from the backup copy of the template
(filecabhr.1tf).
Tip
When you apply the customizations, use a special Administrator ID to
make it easier to track and identify the changes.
Creating the database link
After creating a library, you must create a special type of database link if
users will be accessing the library from the Web. When navigating the
library, users pass through multiple http resources, and are thus prompted
multiple times for a password. Creating a shortcut lets users work around
this behavior in Notes. Administrators can also enable single sign-on to
simplify access. For more information, see the Document Manager
Administrator’s Guide.
