Archiving Lotus Notes documents to a specified folder
Archiving Lotus Notes documents is typically a laborious task -- but not anymore. SearchDomino.com member Bob Gouin has created an agent that simplifies the process.
A common complaint about archiving Lotus Notes documents to specific folders is that there are too many steps involved. You have to select the document, move it to the specified folder, select the document again, and then finally select "archive" or "drag/drop."
To address this issue, I've created an agent that reduces the number of steps required to archive Lotus Notes documents to specified folders. This agent allows the end user to archive directly to a folder in their Lotus Notes archive database.
The Lotus Notes agent prompts the end user for the folder they'd like to archive, moves the document to the specified folder, and then archives the selected Lotus Notes documents to the archive database -- while maintaining the documents in the specified folder.
The agent saves Lotus Notes users a few steps, and makes archiving Lotus Notes documents a little easier.
You can name the agent: ArchiveSelected Documents To Folders | agent_archiveToFolder.
