You Can View User Feedback To This Tip

How about a view in the Domino Directory that shows you each user followed by a list of all the groups the user is a member of? i.e., Bob Smith is a member of Sales, Support Staff, Dallas Mail, App1.Authors, etc. As soon as you add Bob to a new group, the list instantly updates. I've added this view to every address book I've ever managed since release 2.0 of Notes...

Code

Add a view to the Domino Directory. Start with a Blank Shared view. Name it Groupsby Member (this will cascade it below the already existing Groups view).
There are only three columns.
Column 1 formula:
@Name(&#
