Lotus Notes Form Installation
Important: The administrator installing the forms must have the proper authorizations to install new
databases, access the Lotus Notes client Administrator and modify access-control lists. The administrator
must also be authorized to modify configuration documents on the server.
Installation Planning
Installing the Lotus Notes Form requires the administrator to perform several operations – using both Lotus
Domino and Lotus Notes with an administrative account – on the server hosting the Lotus Domino application.
Here are the main installation steps (you will further find all detailed steps for each):
1.
Signing the Database on page 44
2.
Installing and configuring the Fax Memo Template on page 45
3.
Synchronizing the Mail Template Databases on page 48
4.
Redirecting the Fax Domain to the SMTP Gateway on page 48
5.
Configuring the Lotus Notes Form on page 49
After this, all targeted Lotus Notes users will be able to use the installed form.
Note: The procedures of this section are applicable as they are to Lotus Notes/Domino 8.0 or higher.
They are also applicable to earlier versions of Notes/Domino, however some menus and paths may be
slightly different. Mainly:

Signing the Database
The database must first be signed by an administrator, to vouch for its integrity:
1. Put the database files on the Lotus Domino server:
a) In Microsoft Windows Explorer, browse to the Lotus\Domino\Data directory, on the server's hard drive.
b) Create a sub-directory called Fax.
c) Copy the Fax_Memo_Install.nsf and FAXconfiguration.nsf database files, from the NotesForms
folder in the XMediusFAX distribution media to the Fax sub-directory you just created.
Note: .nsf stands for Notes Storage Facility. These files represent typical Lotus Notes databases.
2. Find the database files in the Domino Administrator:
a) Start the Domino Administrator by clicking Start ➤ Programs ➤ Lotus Applications ➤ Lotus Domino
Administrator.
b) Once logged in, click on the tab for the server (domain), on which the database that you want to sign
is located.
c) Click on the Files tab.
d) In the panel at the left, double-click on the Fax folder.
3. Sign the database files:
