Vote: Prevent accidental closure of Notes home pag...

Roland Reddekop  |    |  Tags:  navigation notesclient  |  Comments (1)

Since version R5 when the Welcome/home page metaphor was added to Notes (replacing the workspace), many orgs have leveraged the function by deploying a customized Notes' corporate home page.  In our case, our home page is an NSF that functions as a roles-based portal providing each user with the links and applications they require depending on their profile. Notes 8 breaks this convention of always having an always-open home page tab.

If we roll out Notes 8, our users will be a somewhat disoriented and will not appreciate having to re-find the home page by clicking on the Open button then scrolling down the list.

One of the claims for Notes 8 is backward-compatibility, but this major change to the navigation scheme is an exception. We need an option (driven by an Admin policy would be nice, but not required) to control if the Home page is closeable, or at least make it so you can't close it accidentally.

Alternatively, some have suggested making a prominent Home icon beside the Open button. This would be my second choice.
