Template standardization
Tags :Rant
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.
