CONFIGURING
Depending on how extensive your changes will be to the view, you can customize the view or a copy of the view. If your changes are minimal, customize the view instead of a copy. Then when you upgrade to a new version of the default HCL Domino® Directory template, you must re-create the customization. If your changes will be extensive, customize a copy of the view. Then when you upgrade to a new version of the Domino Directory template, you need only to reapply the customization.
About this task
These steps use RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF as the file name for the copy of the Domino Directory template. Where RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF appears, substitute the file name of the copy of the Domino Directory template you created.
