APPLICATION DESIGN

Hotspots
Hotspots are associated with text or an image in the body of a document and can complete any of these types of automated tasks:

Link
Open a Web site, a database, or an element in a database (a page, view, frameset, form, document, folder, or navigator).
Text pop-up
Display information in a pop-up.
Button
Complete a programmed task, using simple actions, formulas, LotusScript, JavaScript when the button is used in the IBM® Lotus® Notes® client. In addition, you can code the same button to run JavaScript when the button is used in a Web browser.
Formula pop-up
Complete a programmed task using only formulas, with the results displayed in the pop-up.
Action hotspot
Complete a programmed task using simple actions, formulas, LotusScript, or JavaScript when the action hotspot is used in the Notes Client. In addition, you can code the same action hotspot to run JavaScript when the action hotspot is used in a Web browser.

When to use hotspots

Create a hotspot in a document when the hotspot is specific to the document. Create a hotspot in a form when every document using that form needs the hotspot.

Examples of hotspots

Use a document or database link to provide a cross-reference for more information that is stored in a document in other database.
Use a URL link to cross-reference a Web site for downloading software.
Use a text pop-up to provide help information about what values to specify in a field.
Use a button to submit a completed document for processing or add a database to a user’s workspace.
