REFERENCE
Using the default Domino Directory template ensures that all Domino features work properly. However, you may want to customize the Domino Directory to suit the needs of your organization. If you customize the Domino Directory template, you must follow specific rules and procedures to get exactly the look you want without jeopardizing the performance of the system and/or losing the customizations when you upgrade to a new version of the default Domino Directory template.
To ensure that your customizations do not disable your system, customize a copy of the default Domino Directory template. Then, if you make a mistake, you can easily revert to the default Domino Directory template.
You must use the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Designer or write an IBM® Lotus® Notes® API program to customize the Domino Directory. For more information on writing Notes API programs, see the Domino database "Lotus C API Toolkit for Notes/Domino" which is available at www.lotus.com/ldd.
Customizing the Domino Directory requires Designer or Manager access in the ACL of the Domino Directory.
