Using the Domino® classes

Domino® Designer defines LotusScript® classes that allow you to access Domino® structures on two levels:

The database (back-end) classes allow you to access named databases, views, documents, and other Domino® objects. Both workstation and server users can run scripts that access database objects.
The UI (front-end) classes allow you to access current objects that the user is working on. Only workstation users can run scripts that access UI objects.

The following table outlines the LotusScript® classes defined by Domino® Designer:
