Unread/Read Mark Question

Is it possible to display an icon in the view next to a document that is unread? Is there a field or some property of the doc that you can tell if its unread/read?

Thanks

Not in the Notes Client, but on the Web you could do it, since you would do the unread marks programmatically anyway.

Curious…how does Notes know to color unread docs “red”, then turn “black” after they have been read?

It uses the C API function NSFDbGetUnreadNoteTable, but unfortunately this function has no related @Function which could be used in Views.

A document is not either Read or Unread … it’s Read of Unread for a given user of the database. Just because you read a document in a database does not mark it read for everyone else.

How this works is that each user has a “list” of the documents they’ve read. And because this is not a property of the document itself, you can’t access it through the view … so sorry, but no icon indicator.
