Photos in the native Domino Directory

You can store business card photos in IBM® Domino®. Photo types used by Domino are .jpeg and .gif. Photo size should be smaller than 45 KB (recommended 10 KB).

About this task

The native Domino Directory does not have a standard field for photos, but photos can be retrieved from the Domino Name and Address Book.

Procedure

  1. Add a rich text field or rich-text lite field to the Person form of the Name and Address Book in Domino.
    1. Open names.nsf in Domino Designer.
    2. Open the Person form.
    3. Click the section where you want to add the field. A sub-form will open.
    4. In the sub-form, click where you want to add the field.
    5. Select Create > field and edit the field's properties.
    6. Add the name to the field and select Rich Text as the type.
    7. Save the form.
  2. To store photo information in the newly-added rich-text field, choose either:
    • Import: Click on the rich text field and choose Create > Picture. This adds the file contents to the field.
    • Attach: Save the image file in the rich text field as an attachment.
  3. From the Sametime® System Console, go to the Business Card Attribute page.
  4. In the text box for the Photo attribute, type the name of the rich text field that you added to the Name and Address Book, matching the case, then click Update.
