Domino.Doc 3.5 User's Guide - Lotus documentation - Lotus software

Administration and Security
• New main topic documents that are created from within the discussion
thread inherit security settings from the latest version or draft of a
document that the author can see.
• New main topic documents that are created directly from a version or
draft, inherit that document’s security settings.
• Response documents always inherit security from the parent document.
• A document manager can delete all or delete selected discussion
documents.
• Deleting all versions of a document forces deletion of all related
discussion documents, but as long as at least one version of a document
remains, all discussion documents will remain.
Other principles
• Discussion documents are stored in the same database as the
Domino.Doc document. They are moved accordingly if the document
or its binder is moved.
• Discussion documents are non-editable.
• The unique Document Number, common to all versions and drafts, is
included on every main topic and response. For reference, when each
main topic or response is created, the title and version number of the
latest document version is stored and displayed.
• Discussion documents do not support file attachments.
About using Sametime integration for document collaboration
If you have a Sametime server installed on the same domain as
Domino.Doc, and Sametime Integration enabled for your library, you can
use this feature for collaborating on a document, as an alternative to creating
a Forum to discuss a document, or in conjunction with it. The document
must be in a file cabinet that also has Sametime Integration enabled.
This feature is available from the Notes client or Web interfaces only.
When you have a document open, you can use the Who is Online option to
open a floating Sametime window to communicate with other Sametime
users who have access to the document and are online.
