Accessing FHSU Lotus Notes
Database Applications
These instructions explain
how to locate Fort Hays State University database applications
on the Lotus Notes server, create bookmarks, and open the
applications using the Lotus Notes Client.
Examples of applications
include:
- Buy, Sell, and Trade
- CTC Request for Services
- CTELT Request for Services

set up prior to allowing access. For assistance obtaining security
for Lotus Notes applications, the authorizing manager or
supervisor should contact Viv Zimmerman at (785) 628-4031.
Accessing Database
Applications
-
Open your Lotus Notes Client. Click File, then choose Database, and
Open. Change the server to LNapps/FHSU, and
then scroll down in the Database window, until you
find the yellow apps folder. Click once on it and
then click the Open button.
-
The apps folder
will open. Scroll down until you find the database of your
choice.
-
If you can't find
the database in the LNapps/FHSU apps folder,
try accessing the NotesHub/FHSU server and then
scroll down to open the yellow apps folder. If
you still can't find the application you are looking
for, contact the CTC HelpDesk for assistance.
-
Click once on the database,
and then click the Bookmark button. In the Add
Bookmark dialog box, click the name of the
bookmark folder where you'd like to place the bookmark,
and then click OK. (Repeat this step if
you wish to add other bookmarks for other applications.)
When you are finished adding bookmarks, close the Open
Database window by clicking the X
in the upper right-hand corner.
-
Double-click on the
application's bookmark to open the database application.
An informational window about the application may open.
If it does, read the information and then close the window.
-
The application will
open, and you may now start using the application.
-
Note: The
first time you open any database, it may take longer than
in later attempts.
-
To open the application
in the future, simply click on its bookmark from your
Lotus Notes desktop.
