Adding extra columns to the ambiguous name dialog
Category
Bookmark :
One of my customers is not using full first names in the Notes id's but initials. However when there are more persons with the same lastname it is often hard to determine the right person to send an email to. Luckily, since Notes 7.0.2 it is possible to add up to 4 extra columns to the ambiguous name dialog.
Doing so is very easy, just add one or more extra columns to the $users view in the Domino directory (or the personal addressbook). Add the column(s) to the end of the view and give them a programmatic name Address1 to Address 4.
And just have the column display the information you want to show in the ambiguous name dialog.
The column(s) you add are shown after the first column in the dialog box.
This image shows the ambiguous name dialog without any column added:
And this is the same dialog, but now with one column added:
