Is there a way that i can prompt all clients when there is a document in a certain status. The client can be in any view /form.mail file. I need it to prompt just like when you receive mail. Letting the user know that there is a document in incoming and that they need to check it.

Yes, but you’ll need administrative access to the servers, and you’ll need to write some code that uses the sendConsoleCommand method (or the Notes API if you’re not up to 6.5 or above) to issue a “broadcast” command. Check the Admin help database for syntax. There are options for either displaying the message in the status bar or in the middle of the screen, and for broadcasting to all connected users, users with a particular database open, or to specific users.

I do have admin installed on my pc. I do know how todo a broadcast from the admin. But what im wanting todo is when a document has a status of “Unassigned” it prompts all users in the db that there is a new document. just like when you get new mail. My views are refreshing fast enough and i basically have setup a call center and that 30 secs. are critical. Thanks for the help ahead of time

You need to create an agent that runs when documents are created or modified. That agent will check to see if the status is unassigned (by checking whatever NotesItem contains the indicator) and if appropriate it will then use the NotesSession.SendConsoleCommand to issue the broadcast message.
