In the column properties you can turn off the twistie. Would that work for you?

In your view, double-click on the column that you want to hide the twistie or go to the Edit menu and select Properties then select the column. In the properties box, first tab, there is a checkbox ‘Show twistie when row is expandable’. Make sure it is deselected. See if that works for you.

I am using Web application. Its showing twistie even though ‘show twistie when row is expanded’ option is deslected. Is the way it should behave?I am new in Lotus Notes, so please excuse me for if any silly questions.

Yes, a web app will behave differently. I think by default it will show. I don’t have much experience with web apps but if you search this forum with keywords like ‘twistie’ or ‘disable twistie’, you might find good info.

Thanks.For time being, I am using formula to display blank image instead of twistie. It works!

Yes, that is the way it’s supposed to work. In the Notes client, the twistie is not necessary for opening and closing a category or document hierarchy, but on the web (with an HTML view) the twistie is the only mechanism the user has to work with.
