When using an embedded view with show single category, why does it do a partial match?
Example: we have a mould number 4209015 and 4209015A. When I open the document for mould number 4209015, I get documents returned in the embedded view for mould number 4209015A. It acts like it is doing a search with a wild card.
Can someone explain this to me.

Use a termination character in the category value. For instance, if the view column formula for the categorized column is CustID, use the formula CustID + “$” instead (or instead of $, choose some other character or sequence of characters that never occurs in CustID). Then in the single-category formula, also append + “$” to the value it returns. If CustID never contains the termination sequence, no category will partially match the supplied key.

We have confirmed that this problem has nothing to do with Partial matches, so appending an unique suffix won’t help, unfortunately.But thanks anyway.

We have developed a multi-database application in which we have a start-database, containing a navigator and some embedded views. These embedded views shows a single category, based on the users username (i.e. @UserName).
In Notes 8, we started to get support-issues from users complaining that the embedded views shows other users document. We have confirmed the issue from several customers, but we have not yet been able to reproduce the scenario in our test-environment.
However, this is an ascertained and MAJOR bug in Lotus Domino 8, and an issue for down-grading our customer to Lotus Domino 7. We have experienced the issue in Release 8.0.2 and Release 8.5.2.
Our theory is that the client stores the selected document i an embedded view as a standpoint. When the client is closed and restarted it resumes the startpoint from that standpoint and select that document. But if ther has been addition och removals from the view, the standpoint points to a document in another category, and then that category is displayed. We have stated that it has nothing to to with partial matches, even though that was our first thought.
