I’m sorry but I am sick of documents not showing up in private views.Yes if you delete the view the documents then show up. But this is not a solution.
I have read many posts one suggesting to changing the index update interval.
But try and explain why this doesn’t work to your end user who cannot trust the data in the view because some documents might be missing.
This problem needs serious attention NOW!

p.s. This issue has been bugging me for years!
p.p.s If a database like Oracle or DB2 select statement left out documents I’d imagine its credibility would be shot!

Perhaps you should train them to create the view(s) correctly!

This is driving me crazy as well. I have to delete my private views to get them to show all the documents. The less than cordial response above seems to indicate a better way to create private views. Anyone have an answer on getting private views to show all docs without deleting and recreating every time?

I have the same problem. I have created a time sheet application that uses private views for individauls to view and update their own timesheets, and private views for managers to approve individauls time sheets. All private views use the @Username function and the TimeSheet Status to filter what gets displayed.
Everytime someone submits their time sheet to the manager for a approval, the manager must delete his private view, and re-open it before the submitted time sheets show up in his view.
The only hint I have of what is going wrong so far is that that if I change the status manually through the user interface it works properly. But when I create an action button that uses lotus script to update the status on the back end document the updated document does not appear in the managers view as I expected.
I think because I’m updating the back end document using lotus script the indexes for the views are not being updated properly.
Is there a way to update the indexes properly after you have made a change to a back end document ?
