Inotes Contacts not visible when using mail85.ntf (Mail R8.5 Template)

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Hi there,

I finished upgrading a local copy (made new copy from server template to local drive) of the R8.5 template to our custimized version we use here in the office. After testing the INotes functionality it indeed does not show up any contacts on the INotes web page when you click on contacts. Furthermore when you try to input a new contact it gives an error.

After looking at the error console log in INotes my eye was caught to a specific view the Mail R8.5 template was missing.

I then opened the mail85.ntf (Server template) in Designer and there they were.

If you open mail85.ntf into designer and open the views you will notice the following views.

(iNotes)
(iNotes_ArchiveTOC)
(iNotes_Contacts)
(iNotes_DraftCleanUp)
(iNotes_Notices)
(iNotes_Stationery)
(iNotes_ToDo)

Select those and copy them, then open your template file in designer and paste them into the view section. When Notes asks to update these views automatically select NO.
Then don't forget to remove the mark 'Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify' in the properties of the pasted inotes views.

Magically after refreshing the web page for contacts they appear out of the blue.

Then i was testing the To Do's. The 'To Do list' works fine, but when you choose 'One Day', 'One Week' and so on you will not get any To Do listed there.

After struggeling this is also fixed.

From the same mail85.ntf server template in designer, copy the following 2 views

(Haiku_TOC)
(Haiku_TasksAll)

and again paste them in your template view folder by using the designer. Also remember When Notes asks to update these views automatically when you paste them, select NO.
Then don't forget to remove the mark 'Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify' in the properties of the pasted inotes views.

Then after refreshing the To Do view 'One Day' they appear.

So far my two cents for the new INotes 8.5 little bug removals.

Hope this will help alot of people out there strugling with this problem.
