Error description

  • The customer has set up a team calender in notes, but when
    using inotes they have founf that the calendar displays
    differently depending on how it is accessed.
    -> if the user accesses their iNotes calendar and then opens
    the team calender it has a webmail type interface instead of
    the inotes interface.
    -> if the user accesses their inotes mailfile and then first
    opens the team calendar mailfile and then the calendar from
    there they get the inotes UI.
    The customer feels that it should have the same UI regardless
    of how it is accessed.

    (a) Test opening th calendar first:
    - Open the Calendar ->  "Other Calendars", Search for the
    name of the shared calendar and connect to it.
    ===> Calendar opens and shows like a webmail calendar
    Example URL:
    http://xxx.xxx.xxx/NessaTeamCalendar.nsf/WebInteriorCalendarFS/
    ?OpenFrameSet&Frame=NotesView&Src=%2FNessaTeamCalendar.nsf%2
    F4341359a40ca63c68525697b006273ba%2F%3FReadForm%26TemplateType%3
    D2%26Tar getUNID%3D738CB93AE2E1B7F8852564B5001283E2%26AutoFramed
    
    
    (b) test opening the mail first:

    "open mail for.."
    2. find the entry for the Team Calendar, and select ok, the
    mailfile opens

    the iNotes interface
    Example URL:
    http://xxx.xxx.xxx/NessaTeamCalendar.nsf/iNotes/Mail/?Open
    Document
    
    ===> so the display of the UI is different depending on if you
    open the team calendar initally from an inotes mail or calendar
    view.
    
    L2 also tested with the latest release of 8.5.3  (8.5.3FP3) and
    the issue is the same.
    
    
    =================
    L2 could not find any documentation to say that TeamCalendars
    are supported or not supported for use in iNotes.
