Template standardization


Tags :


So I promised some more feedback from the last trip.  Standardizing your organization on a mail template design makes the admin's life so much easier.  I know some organizations truly find reasons to customize the mail design, maybe like adding a fax form or application action buttons for integration.  But if you are pursuing this path, try not to have 10 different designs floating around the company.  Upgrades are more difficult, knowing which version should be applied, mainly if there are Notes client version differences out there also.  (Add in a couple different server versions for good measure too)

More importantly, troubleshooting errors becomes time consuming as you attempt to apply the standard template to see if it works, then another custom template, then another.  This cycle continues until you finally track down where the error is coming from.

It really didn't help when the error message itself could not be found in technotes or online, and was very non-descriptive.
