As a Notes® roaming user, you can log in to and use Notes from any computer in your organization on which Notes is installed, and use your personal data while doing so. Your personal data includes many of your Notes preferences and personal information such as your contacts, bookmarks, notebook, feeds subscriptions, and optionally your Notes workspace. Notes widgets also participate in roaming.
Configuring your environment
Your administrator can configure you to work as a roaming user, enabling your personal HCL Notes®applications and settings to be roamed between any Notes client on which you work.

- Getting started as a Notes roaming user
  Your HCL Domino® administrator assigns your roaming user capabilities. The data that your administrator configures to be roaming-enabled replicates or syncs between your roaming server and the Notes® computer that you log into. The roaming server keeps roaming-enabled files and application synchronized for any Notes client on which you log into and work as a roaming user.
- Configuring your environment
  Your administrator can configure you to work as a roaming user, enabling your personal HCL Notes®applications and settings to be roamed between any Notes client on which you work. When you log in to Notes on each computer on which you work, you will be initially prompted to convert to Notes roaming user status.
  - How do I configure my Notes workspace for roaming?
    As a roaming user, your Notes workspace can participate as a roaming application. This enables you to share a single Notes® workspace, including tabs and application chicklets, on all Notes clients on which you work as a Notes roaming user.
  - What roaming preferences can I set?
    Use the Notes® Roaming preferences panel to temporarily enable or disable roaming and specify whether to use local or remote replication for file server roaming. .

Configuring your environment

Your administrator can configure you to work as a roaming user, enabling your personal HCL Notes®applications and settings to be roamed between any Notes client on which you work. When you log in to Notes on each computer on which you work, you will be initially prompted to convert to Notes roaming user status.

About this task

The data that your administrator configures to be roaming-enabled replicates between your roaming server and any Notes® computer that you log into.

After your administrator configures you as a Notes® roaming user, you will be prompted once to convert to Notes roaming user status.

Procedure

When you log in to Notes, you are informed that your administrator has enabled you as a Notes roaming user and receive a basic explanation of what roaming enables you to do. Respond to the convert prompt as follows:
- Convert to roaming now – Replicate your personal applications and settings now and enable your roaming user status on this computer. Once you convert you will not be prompted again on this computer.
- Ask me the next time I start Notes – Do not convert now but be prompted the next time that you log in to this computer.
- Never ask me again, I do not want this computer to roam – Once you choose this option you will never be prompted to convert to roaming user status on this computer. The personal applications and configuration you use on this computer will remain unique to this computer and will not participate in roaming.
Click OK.
If you selected to convert, you can monitor your personal application and configuration replication status against the roaming server, click File > Replication > Replicate.
If you selected to convert, a message appears when roaming user setup is complete. Click OK.
