Vikalp,

The Designer Help files should point you in the right direction - they cover the different types of agents, the targets of agent, writing agent and agent security

And furthermore, if you are completely new to Notes (Lotus is a brand, not a product) you should consider to not start with agents right away (which might be tempting, because they are the closest thing to “normal” programming). Make sure first, that you get a grasp of the basic concepts like

  • Forms, subforms, pages, documents, notes

  • Documents, response documents, response-to-response documents

  • Fields vs. items

  • Views vs. folders, categorization vs. response hierarchy

  • ACL, Names, Authors and Readers fields

Agents are a (relatively) powerful concept in Notes, but not necessary at the heart of an application’s design.
