Not sure if this is right place to post this, but if it is I have a questionIs it possible to make a view in a Lotus Notes database, which would recognize if the user was using a desktop or a Blackberry for Lotus Notes 8. We would like to use the same views that we have without making extra ones if possible. But the view or form would need to have code that would show certain information for a Blackberry user and a different view for a desktop user
Thanks for any help in advance
Subject: How are you viewing from the Blackberry?
The only way I know to open a database with a Blackberry is with it’s web browser. Could you make a view that would work with HTTP? Maybe then you could send the user a view link via email… If you’re running BES 4.1.5 or above and the devices are running the 4.5 OS the users can open view links.

We are right now viewing the information from web pages for the blackberry. Which meanns we need to make a view for blackberry and one for the desktops.
Subject: Show Hide on Blackberry
The Show/Hide formulas have a Mobile option but I think it depends on which browser you use with the blackberry. The native BB Browser doesn’t flag itself as mobile - perhaps Opera does.
In any case, it’s just a web view.
What I do is create a page called mobile - so that you can go…
https://domain.com/folder/file.nsf/mobile
Then you can have the view accessible from there. You might find it’s easier to create a second view and use shared columns. That way you don’t have to do as much work but can easily customise it for mobiles without worrying about other clients.
