Hi all,
The standard agent “Send newsletter Summary” defaults to using the All Documents view.
In 8.5 this view has a new column titled ‘FOLDERS’ with a formula of @WhichFolders.
This function is undocumented but it (supposedly) lists the folders a document has been categorized under.
In the All Documents view the column looks Ok, but when the Agent runs and produces the summary this column appears to be junk.
Any ideas? Any suggestions?
Ray.

Subject: @Which not supported from back-end agents
@Which folder only displays with the client UI open. It is not supported via back-end agents. You should edit the agent and change the view it operates on or you can create an agent using the LotusScript back-end classes and programmatically create the collection you want sent.
NOTE: The agent is not defaulting, for me, to any particular view. It seems to choose the first view it find in the NSF. You can change this selection when you create the agent.
Subject: No other suitable view to use…
The Databases that we use the “Send Newsletter” Agent in all use the Notes 8.5 Standard Mail template.
We have recently upgraded all our MailIn Db’s from Notes 7 Mail Template to Notes 8.5.
The AllDocuments View in R7 did not include the column that has the @WhichFolders function.
As this view is named ($All) - it becomes the first view in the view list and therefore the default view for the NewsLetter Agent.
There is no other suitable view to use for this type of agent.
So we can either :
1 - create a special view for the agent
2 - delete the FOLDERS column from the $All view (this may affect something else)
3 - live with the problem.
How do others use this Agent without the junk appearing in the Newsletter?
Ray.
