WORKING WITH NOTES DOCUMENTS

Creating Notes documents
The way in which you create a document differs depending on the application. However, from anywhere in IBM® Lotus Notes®, can also use the File > New menu to create messages, calendar entries and more.

You can create a document in an application if you have Author access, Depositor access, or higher.
