Will someone share view actions for emailing and/or creating group lists?

Can someone share with me a view action (formula or lotusscript) that performs any of these functions? They are found in the TeamRoom Pro, but the design is hidden. I would like to add them to my departmental notes database.

-Create Group List from All

-Create Group List from Selected

(these create a group document in your personal NAB using a NotesID field in the selected or all document in a view)

-Send Email to Selected

(Opens an email with the NotesID field from the selected documents in the Sendto field.)

Thank you!!

look in your personal address book’s contacts view, select a bunch of people then select Tools > Copy Into New Group. You can check the design for this code and use it elsewhere.

Thanks, that helps with creating the group document.What I was curious about though was what kind of checking they do before opening the PAB - do they check if the user is on a local replica? do they check for all address books or just assume names.nsf? Any other conditions I should watch out for?

Hi Paul, Thanks for your comments. I was trying to figure out how to isolate the correct address book to write the new list to. For instance in testing, my code would find a backup copy of names.nsf.

I’ve made some progress using session.AddressBooks to get a collection of address books I can go thru to find the names.nsf that is also a private address book. I opened a new post today with a question on its function tho since it wont let me copy the group document to the NAB (see that post for a code snippet.)

I also ran across a set of classes for working with groups in lotusscript, but I think that was overkill for my function.

So, I am still working on this, but seem to be getting closer. Just wish I could see what the Teamroom Pro folks used as that would save me a lot of time. (and yes, I also tried unhiding their design, but the script was truly hidden.)
