My company is using Lotus Notes 8.5 as a location for our Help Documentation. We are using Articulate to create our e-learning materials. Ideally, we would love for an end- user to be able to click a link (within Articulate) that would take him/her directly to a Help document within Lotus Notes.
I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the newer versions of Lotus, it's been many many years since I've used their products.
Are you able to provide an actual URL for the file? If so, you should be able to link to the document. If not, it might be best to place the document on a server, where the user can visit the URL to view/download the document.
Hopefully some community members with some Lotus experience can hop in here and provide some additional suggestions as well :)
Hi Matt! It's been awhile since I've done this too but in the past I've been able to link to Lotus Notes content two different ways.
1. Sometimes notes databases have an equivalent web version and a "regular" http:// link for them. You might need to ask your Notes people if that exists and what the actual link is. I always preferred this method when it was possible.
2. When option #1 wasn't possible I was able to use html links that start with notes:// to link people to Lotus Notes databases
This article has some details about how to figure out what the link should be. It's an older version but I *THINK* it might still work.
