add description column to 'to do' view

[RodP]

Hi Everyone,

In my 'to do' tasks part of lotus notes (R6.5), I'd like to create my own custom view where I'm able to see the first line of the text that I've written in the description field for each entry (ie from within the 'Task' form). I've gone through the various fields but have not been able to find anything. I've found a field called 'Description' but that doesn't show anything upon refreshing.

Please could someone help?

Many thanks in advance

The Description of a To Do document is stored in a richtext item called 'Body', and richtext fields won't display in a view.

You can work around this by adding a calculated field on the To Do form that has a formula like @Abstract( [TryFit]; 100; ""; Body). This new field can be added into the view.

Regards,

David
