I need to get a survey out to a group of people who are using Lotus Notes 8.5. It needs to contain 4-5 questions with a rating of 1-5 (single choice) and a free text question at the end.
It needs to be embedded into the body of the mail and ideally the results would populate a database and email a specific address.
I have a temporary solution in place with buttons, but each click sends a separate email and does not feed into a database.
I need one email with all the data when the survey is complete.
I don’t have access to Domino Designer, so I’m hoping there is a clever way of doing this with buttons.
If you had access to designer, then I would say “store form in document” is the way this is supposed to be done.
Rather than each button sending a separate email, you could have each button update a field on the existing message, and then a Submit button would read those fields into the final message.
Another way to do it would be to have each button write to an environment variable, and then a Submit button would read the envar into the final message.
There’s not much difference between those two methods, really.
However, I have to wonder if anything you send would pass “Execution Security Alert”. If your environment’s security is set up well, only the server & developer would have access to run code, and you might not be able to do some of these suggestions. you would want to test that before you send it to everyone.
