Embedded view from other databases - Lotus Notes

Question

I would like to embed a view from another database called "Y", but when I went to form ==> Insert Element==> View==> It does not list all the the database which i have already opened in designer.

Basically I want to embed view from another database called Y, I am using Lotus notes 9 & on windows 10.

Is there something I am missing here. It shows only few local database like contact, bookmark etc in the open embed view dialog box.

Since I have few people working on Notes 7 I want to make sure that this functionality ( embedding view from other databases ) should work in Notes 7 as well, therefore please let me know if this future is there in Notes 7 or not.

Please assist.

Answer 1

I'm using Notes 9 on Windows 7. First of all, my menu options is Create->Embedded Element->View... and the dialog that comes up has a listbox of views and below that is a drop-down list of other databases. The drop-down is populated with the titles of databases that have tiles on my workspace (in the client, not the designer.) I can't confirm this is how it works in Notes 7, but I'm pretty sure this isn't new in 9.
