Embedded view with documents corresponding to document in Lotus Notes

Question

do you have a idea how can I solve this in Lotus Notes?

1. There is a document Form Person.

In this document I want to have a embedded view that shows notes only related to this person.

2. I created a Form Notes and a view Notes. I can embed the view in the Person mask and select a view. In my case Notes.

The problem is that I see all notes for all persons. Not only the notes to this person where the view is embedded.

How can I refer to only the current Person document? How can I build a button in the embedded view to create a new notes document that refers to the current person document where the embedded view actually is?

Thanks!

Best regards Robert

Answer 1

Write a formula into "Embedded View / Show single category" which returns the category for the current Person. This way only rows related to this category are visible in embeded view.

Answer 2

Instead of using an embedded view, you can use a trick I describe here: http://blog.texasswede.com/dynamic-tables-in-classic-notes/

What you do is to build the rows of the view one by one using a separate form, then rendering them into a rich tect field on your person document.
