Using a names field to return groups from the NAB

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Greetings - I’ve had a request to create a names field that will give the user a list of groups that are currently in the NAB

This will be used on a modify request to choose a current group to modify.

As far as I can tell, the names field does not have this sort of built in function - any suggestions on where to get started?

Thanks in advance.

Hello John,

I’m not quite sure what You want?

Do You need all the groupnames from the domdir the current user is a member of ? Then see the description of “@UserNamesList” in the ‘lotus domino designer help’ db

or

Do you need a list of all groupnames from the domdir?

There are a lot of ( sometimes hidden ) views in the domdir concerning groups. Then have a look at these views from the lotus-domino-designer. Via @dblookup or @dbcolumn formulas you can access these informations.

regards axel

Good suggestion - I found a hidden view that had exactly what I needed. Thanks
