- 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.

  - 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. .

This preference panel is only available for file server roaming. If your configuration specifies a HCL Domino® server as your roaming server, you cannot see or use this preferences panel.

Note: Your administrator configures you as either a file server roaming user or Domino® server roaming user.

Click File > Preferences > Roaming.
Check Temporarily disable roaming to disable roaming on this computer. Uncheck Temporarily disable roaming to re-enable roaming.
Specify either local or remote file server roaming using the Access mode options as below:
- Local -- This option specifies that Notes® replicates roaming data from the computer you are working on to your roaming server.
- Remote -- This option specifies that Notes® uses NSF database links to access data on the roaming server. If you choose this option, only one Notes® client can be active at a time because NSF sharing is not supported in a file share.
  Note: This setting takes effect after you restart Notes®.
