Question

What features are available when using the "Lite" mode of Lotus® Domino® Web Access ("DWA Lite") ?

Answer

DWA Lite is a new capability within Domino Web Access which utilizes a new page architecture optimized for empty cache or low bandwidth scenarios, such as when users are working from a kiosk or traveling. It is not a separate product – it is just another mode for running DWA.
When using DWA Lite, only the Mail, Contacts, and the Day-At-A-Glance Calendar are available:

For features that are not fully supported in Lite Mode, users will receive an alert with a link to switch to Full Mode to access all actions for the feature:
