Adding the OOO Agent to users Notes Client

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi all, hope everyone had a good bank holiday (UK)! I have a user who has been unable to activate his Out Of Office (OOO) agent from within his notes client - I’ve checked and found that it isn’t present under the tools\Out of Office menu.

I have had to activate it from within Notes Designer. Which seems to work. However this really isn’t a suitable arrangement as the user needs to be able to do this for himself. Does anyone know how to install\configure this option to appear from within the users Notes client?

Many thanks.

Rob.

Dumb question: Is the user the Owner of the mail file?

Click on the Tools button - Preferences - Basics

Just wondering.

The hide-when is

User := @LowerCase(@UserName);

Mngr := @LowerCase(@GetProfileField(“calendarprofile”; “Owner”));

(User != Mngr) | @Environment(“OEMClient”) = “1” | @If(@TextToNumber(@Version) < 174;@True;@False)

Like Gregg said, look for the owner.

Also, for OEMCLient value in the Notes.ini file

Gregg, Jean-Yves,

thanks for your replies. As far as I know the user is the owner of his mail file.

can I ask how should I use the hide-when. I think thats way above what i know about Notes, so if you could guide me a little more in how to use it I would be most grateful.

Thanks again.

You should not need to remove the hide-when formula. It is there for a good reason.

User := @LowerCase(@UserName);

Mngr := @LowerCase(@GetProfileField(“calendarprofile”; “Owner”));

If your user is the owner, then the problem is elsewhere.

In the Notes.ini, is there a variable named OEClient?

(User != Mngr) | @Environment(“OEMClient”) = “1”

What is the Notes client version of your user

@If(@TextToNumber(@Version) < 174;@True;@False)
