Lotus Notes Scrolling Marquee

Display document titles in the Lotus Notes client.

By Soeren Bendtsen

Here's a low tech way of displaying document titles in the Lotus Notes client as a marquee-style rolling messages. When clicked, it opens the corresponding document.

  1. Create a form with a five row table set to: display only one row at a time; interval of 2000 miliseconds; explode effect; cycle through rows continually.
  2. Use a hidden field on the form with a @DbColumn lookup to get document titles of five news documents.
  3. In a field in each row of the five row table, use subset/implode etc. to get a title.
  4. Use an action hotspot around each of the table fields to use the field contents as a key to get a doc ID and open the document.
  5. Give the form a saveoptions field of 0.
  6. Set the form as contents for a frame.

The frame displays as a marquee with one title after another. If you click on a title, the relevant document displays.
