About this task

You can create a widget that opens a composite application in a new tab or one that is wired to act on Live Text or selected text in a particular manner.

The following sequence configures the widget such that a zip code from Live Text in a Notes document is sent to the Filter View by Category action in the composite application.

For widgets samples, see the https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/home_full.xsp?fProduct=Lotus%20Notes%20and%20Domino and the Notes and Domino wiki.

Procedure

1. In Notes, open a composite application and click the Configure a widget from the current context toolbar option to open the Create a new widget for this application wizard. For example, open a composite application that contains the Notes Mail and Contacts views.

2. Specify a new widget name, for example ZipCodeContactFilter.

3. To wire the widget to act on Live Text or selected text in a particular way, click Wire as an action.

Note: To create a widget that simply opens the composite application in a new tab, click Just configure a widget for now and Finish.

5. Select the content type property for the action. For example, select Address and then select the address.zip child property.

Note: You should be familiar with the composite application itself before attempting to wire a content property to an action.

Note: Only component actions that accept a string value as input are listed; other value types are not available.

8. Test the widget. You can optionally add the widget to the widgets catalog to share with others.
