Lotus Notes 7 User Essentials
Lotus Training Overview

During this course you will send and reply to electronic mail using Lotus Notes 7. Once you have the basics of Mail mastered, you will learn all of the options available when you send mail. Mail is a key business application, so you will learn how to organize your messages into folders and how to archive important messages.

Because Notes incorporates instant messaging, you will also know when people are online so you can chat in real time.

You will learn how to use the Calendar and how to schedule a meeting and send invitations to other people.

In addition to learning about Mail, you will learn the most commonly used features in Notes as you use the Address Book, create a Personal Journal, and participate in a shared discussion on a Lotus Domino Server.

This course also teaches how to customize your Notes environment so that you can be a more effective contributor and collaborator.

Lotus Training Learning Objectives

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • navigate in the Notes user interface
  • send and receive electronic mail and include file attachments
  • know when other people are online and communicate with instant messages
  • start instant meetings and participate in Web conferences
  • organize your mail into folders and use SwiftFile to predict your choices
  • configure user preferences, Mail preferences, and delivery options
  • establish Mail Rules to process incoming mail on your behalf
  • create contacts and group lists in your personal Address Book
  • use the Calendar to schedule appointments and meetings
  • open other users’ Calendars and create a Group Calendar
  • use the Scheduler to check for free time in other people’s schedules
  • enable the Out of Office agent to automatically respond to memos while you are away
  • archive messages into a local Archive database
  • create a personal Journal database from a database template
  • participate in a shared Discussion database on a Domino Server
  • utilize document locking to prevent simultaneous updates
  • resolve replication conflicts
  • use three types of version tracking
  • find information using the Notes search tools, including full text search
  • format Rich Text fields that include bulleted and numbered lists, tables, sections, hidden paragraphs
  • determine your rights in a database and protect your computer from rogue code
  • delegate your Calendar and Mail to a colleague when you are unable to respond personally
  • use Notes to browse the Web and send/receive mail from your personal Internet mail account
  • create and manage Bookmarks and Bookmark Folders
  • create Document Links and hotspots to Web pages
  • use Notes while disconnected from the company network.
Lotus Training Audience

There are two audiences for this course:

New Notes users who can:
  • start and stop software applications in Microsoft® Windows™
  • use Microsoft Windows Explorer to find and organize files
  • create, format, and print documents using a graphical word processing software package
  • use Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse Web pages and manage a list of favorite bookmarks.
For these individuals, only parts of the course may be presented.
  • Help desk employees who want an in-depth understanding of how Notes is used on a day-to-day basis. This course is typically followed by the Lotus Notes 7 Support course.
This course is part of a series of training courses for Lotus Notes users. Follow these paths to master all aspects of using Lotus Notes 7:



The Lotus Notes 7 Basic Messaging and Calendar course is a prerequisite to the other courses, which should be taken in sequence (the arrows indicate prerequisite knowledge). There is no content overlap in any of the five courses.

The Lotus Notes 7 User Essentials course contains all the topics of the five Lotus Notes 7 courses plus over 70 pages of bonus content. In other words, this course contains the whole library of topics!


Lotus Training Course duration

This course is sold as a 3-day course, but instead should be thought of as a set of materials from which you can create a custom course that both meets the training objectives and your alloted time frame. Most users do not need the full course to begin using Notes. You can always come back later and train them in more advanced topics.
